【答案解析】[解析] Tom: Hello, Mike. What's up with you?
Mike: Oh, Tom. It's my landlady again.
Tom: You're always in trouble. What is it this time?
Mike: You see, she left a note for me. Just read it.
Tom: Well, did you leave the front door open?
Mike: I honestly don't remember. I got back late from a party. Anyway, what does it matter? It's all complaints in that house, first noise, then the bathroom.
Tom: Well, in that case, why don't you look around for another place?
Mike: I've already started. I looked in the paper this morning, plenty of advertisements as usual, but most of the places are too far from school.
Tom: Look, why don't you come and share with us?
Mike: But surely there are four of you in the flat already, aren't there?
Tom: Yes, but, you know, Jane is leaving at the end of the month. She's got a job down south. There will be a spare room. It's rather small, but you can sleep there for the moment till you find a nice one.
Mike: That's a good idea. How many rooms do you have?
Tom: We have four bedrooms and a big living room.
Mike: What are the arrangements?
Tom: Oh, we share all expenses, of course, rent, light, and heating.
Mike: What about food?
Tom: Oh, we each buy our own. It works out free that way. And you can do anything you like in your own room, but there is one thing.
Mike: What's that?
Tom: Don't leave the front door open. Strange people may wander in.
Mike: All fight. I promise that won't happen again. By the way, when is Jane leaving?
Tom: Let me see, yes, this time next week. Mike: Today is the 22nd, Tuesday, so she's leaving on the 29th. Well, I will move in one day after she leaves.
Tom: Yes, no problem. We will get ready by then.
Mike: Thanks a lot.
Tom: You're welcome.
