Question

E. READING. FINDING AN APARTMENT

My wife and I need a new place to live. We spent the past week-end looking at apartments. We found two apartments that we like but we can’t decide which one we like better.
I like the first apartment that we saw. It is closer to work. It is in a newer, cleaner building. The inside is brighter because it has bigger windows. The view is nicer too. Unfortunately, it is more expensive. The rent is too high.
My wife likes the second apartment that we saw. It is in an older building and it is in a more interesting neighbourhood. The apartment has larger rooms. The rent is cheaper. Unfortunately, it is farther from work than the other apartment. It would take both us longer to get to work.
We are going to look at more apartments next week-end. Maybe we will find an apartment that we both like!
