A: Good afternoon. I'm Sam. I phoned yesterday about the room. Is it still available?
B: Yes, come in please.
A: The room is very nice and big. Do you mind if I put some posters on the walls?
B: No, I don't mind, but don't use sellotape to stick them up. It brings off the paint when you remove it.
A: What about smoking? Is it alright if my friends and I smoke?
B: No, I'm afraid I don't allow smoking anywhere in the house.
A: I see. Can I use the kitchen if I want to cook something?
B: Yes, but only before 7 o'clock in the evening. Not after 7 o'clock.
A: I'm very fond of animals and I'm thinking of getting a dog.
B: Under no circumstances do I want any pets here. I don't like animals.
A: Well, you said I could use your television in the evening. Is that right?
B: Yes, on condition that you don't have it on after midnight. We don't want to disturb the neighbours.
A: Can I have my friends round in the evening?
B: Yes, that's OK, but we don't want any big noisy parties though, so only two or three friends at the same time, please.
A: Can I have a bath at any time?
B: Yes, except between 6 and 7 in the evening. I get home from work then and I always like to have a shower before I have my evening meal.
