Listen to a conversation between two students.
Woman: Hey Jim, how's it going? Got plans for the summer yet?
Man:Yeah, actually I got a month long internship in a town about 3 hours from here, working in a magazine. Pretty excited.
Woman: An internship with a magazine? Very cool! Man: Yeah! I'm excited to know a new area too.
Woman: So have you found a place to stay for the month?
Man: Actually I have. But I'm gonna keep my apartment here on campus while I'm gone. Keep paying rent of it. So I'm just going to be renting a room during the internship. You know, to save money.
Woman: Makes sense.Man: Yeah, and the room I found is pretty cheap, and in a great location. Very close to the magazine I'll be working. Only thing is, it doesn't come with any furniture.
Woman: Nothing?
Man: No, nothing. The room isn't furnished, no desk, no chairs, no bed, no sofa. So I have to do something about that. I was going to try to see if I could buy some inexpensive used furniture once I get up there.
Woman: Sounds good. I'm sure there are plenty of places you can buy cheap stuff.
Man: And maybe sell once internship is over. Only thing is, it's not guaranteed I'll be able to find everything I need for cheap prices. And I don't want to spend a lot since it's just for the month.
Woman: Well, what about the furniture you already have in your apartment here on campus?
Man: Yeah I do have some nice pieces of furniture in my apartment that I could move to the room. But I don't have a way to get it there. I have to rent a truck or something. It'll be kind of a hassle loading it in the truck, carrying it up and down the stairs, driving for three hours.
Woman: Yeah. And then you'd have to move it all back after the month was over.
