Lesson 89 For sale

Why couldn't Nigel decide?

NIGEL:Good afternoon. I believe that this house is for sale.

IAN:That's right.

NIGEL:May I have a look at it, please?

IAN:Yes, of course. Come in.

NIGEL:How long have you lived here?

IAN:I've lived here for twenty years.

NIGEL:Twenty years! That's a long time.

IAN:Yes, I've been here since 1976.

NIGEL:Then why do you want to sell it?

IAN:Because I've just retired. I want to buy a small house in the country.

NIGEL:How much does this house cost?

IAN:$68,500.

NIGEL:That's a lot of money!

IAN:It's worth every penny of it.

NIGEL:Well, I like the house, but I can't decide yet. My wife must see it first.

IAN:Women always have the last world.
