Susanin Her New Flat

(Thebell rings. Susan's mother is at the door. )

Mother：Hello, dear. Oh ! I see I've arrivedtoo late. You've almost completely settled in.

Susan：Not quite. By the way，I didn't expect you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come)here  to work. Come in! I'll show you theflat. This is the living  room, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}isn't completely finished yet，butit's comfortable  enough to receive myfriends，isn't{#blank#}3{#/blank#}？

Mother：Well, of course ! And that largebalcony (阳台)is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(real) very useful. You should plant some flowers there.

Susan：Don't worry, mom. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(plant) somesoon. But come and  have a look at mybedroom. For the moment there is only a bed and a cupboard，butyou'll see，whenI've got some {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bookshelf) and a desk I'll be able to work quite nicely.

Mother：And what's more, quite a goodbathroom!

Susan：I must say I looked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} nearly sixmonths. I asked estate agents and friends and went through advertisements.

Mother：I hope the rent isn't too {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

Susan：No, it's quite {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(reason). But I'vebeen lucky because  most of the flats I{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(offer) were less comfortable and the rents were too high.

Mother：You've done very well! You're reallyvery lucky.
