Part Three Expansion

Section 1: Household Furnishings Exercise 1D

1. Husband: Honey, I think it?s time we redid this room. Wife: Gee, I kind of like it the way it is.

Husband: Oh, come on. Look at this floor—it?s totally scratched. It needs to be refinished or carpeted.

Wife: Yeah, and while we?re at it, we might as well paint the wall around the fireplace. There are smoke stains all over it from last year?s Christmas party.

Husband: Now you?re talking! Why don?t we wallpaper the other three walls in here too? Then if we get some new drapes and maybe a couple of lamps—

Wife: Wait a second. This is getting out of hand. Why don?t we just move the armchair over to cover the scratched floor and save ourselves a lot of money and trouble.

2. Painter: Good morning. I?m from Daniel?s Paint-O-Rama. Woman: Oh, good. Com on in. Would you like some coffee?

Painter: Maybe later. Now, have you decided on the color? Woman: I was thinking white might be nice.

Painter: I wouldn?t have white in this room. It would get dirty pretty quickly.

Woman: Couldn?t we use enamel paint? It?s easy to clean, right? Painter: But it smells horrible and takes a long time to dry. You wont? be able to use this room until tomorrow.

Woman: Oh, my. Well, I guess we could go to a restaurant… Painter: Why don?t you choose a color that goes with your linoleum? I could nix up a shade of latex semi-gloss that matches this blue. Woman: What about the latex semi-gloss in white? Couldn?t I wash that down if it got dirty?

Painter: Yes, you could, but you?ll still have to do it more often than if you choose another color. And if you clean it too often, the finish will start to rub off.

Woman: Maybe we?d better stick with the enamel then.

3. Tenant: Look at the ceiling; it?s cracked and peeling over here; there?s a big water stain on the wall in the corner, and—

Landlord: Okay, why don?t you get some paint and fix it up and I?ll pay for it.

Tenant: I don?t think that?s going to fix the problem. It?s happened before and I don?t feel like wasting my time and energy covering up problem that?s just going to happen again.

Landlord: Well, I?m not sure what else you want me to do. I said I?d pay to fix it.

Tenant; I want you to find out what?s causing this!

Landlord: Well, I?ll talk to Steven upstairs and warn him to be more careful in the future.

Tenant: I don?t think Steven is the problem. The last time this happened he wasn?t even home. Besides, he?s always been a considerate neighbor. Landlord: Maybe you steam up the room yourself. That can cause a lot of chipping and peeling. A small room like this full of steam can do a lot of damage.

Tenant: Look, don?t try to turn this around on me. I always leave the window and door open so it doesn?t steam up. Either you send someone over to repair this, or else I?ll get somebody and deduct the cost from the rent. It?s up to you.

4. Meg: Tony? Tony? Tony! Tony: Huh? What?

Meg: I can?t stand it. It?s freezing in here. Aren?t you cold? Tony: Well, turn the heat on.

Meg: I tried. There?s no heat coming up. Tony: What time is it?

Meg: It?s about 5:30. The heat should be on by now. This is the third time this week that we haven?t gotten heat until after 8:00. Isn?t that against the law?

Tony: Yeah, the heat is supposed to be on between 5 AM and 11 AM every day. What he?s doing is illegal.

Meg: I?m going to call the Housing Authority and report him. Tony: Maybe we should talk to him first.

Meg: We already complained in the note we sent with the rent check last week. I?m tired of waiting for him to give up enough heat. If we don?t do something right away, you?re going to wake up next to an icicle one morning.
