Read the dialogue and role play it.

N.:Hello! How are you?

I.:Fine, thanks!

N.:I haven’t seen you for ages!

I.:We’ve got a new flat and moved out to the suburbs.

N.:How lucky! And what flat have you now?

I.:4-room flat. The kitchen is big and the hall is rather big too. So the flat is very comfortable.

N.:And now do you get to your college now? By underground?

I.:No, there is no underground station near, but there are lots of buses and a trolley-bus. It take me half an hour to get to the college.

N.:And what about shopping?

I.:Sopping is not a problem. A food shop is on the ground floor of our block. By all means you have to come to our place.

N.:Thanks, I’d love to.

I.:Make a note of the address.

N.:Can you give me a pencil?

I.:Here are you. Write, 3 Belinskaya Street, apartment 116, the 9th floor.

N.: Thanks. It was very kind of you to invite me.

I.:You are welcome. See you soon.

N.:So long!
