Hello, Linda speaking.

Oh hi, Linda. This is Matt Brooks.

Alex White gave me your number.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
He said you'd be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes, Alex did mention you.
Complete the challenge or

How can I help?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, first of all - which area to live in?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, I live in Dalton, which is a really nice suburb -
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
not too expensive, and there's a nice park.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Sounds good.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Do you know how much it would be to rent a two bedroom flat there?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for 850 pounds per month.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's what people typically pay.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
You certainly wouldn't want to pay more than 900 pounds.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That doesn't include bills or anything.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
No. That sounds alright.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I'll definitely have a look there.
Complete the challenge or

Are the transport links easy from where you live?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Well, I'm very lucky.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I work in the city centre so I don't have to use public transport.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I go by bike.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Oh, I wish I could do that.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Is it safe to cycle around the city?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes, it's fine.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And it keeps me fit.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
because there's hardly any parking.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And the traffic during the rush hour can be bad.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I'd be working from home
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
but I'd have to go to London one or two days a week.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Oh, that's perfect.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Getting to London is no problem.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
There's a fast train every 30 minutes which only takes 45 minutes.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
That's good.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yeah, the train service isn't bad during the week.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
And they run quite late at night.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
It's weekends that are a problem.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
They're always doing engineering work
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and you have to take a bus to Hadham
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and pick up the train there, which is really slow.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
But other than that, Banford's a great place to live.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I've never been happier.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
There are some nice restaurants in the city centre
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and a brand new cinema which has only been open a couple of months.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
There's a good arts centre too.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Sounds like Banford's got it all.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes! We're really lucky.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
There are lots of really good aspects to living here.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
The schools are good
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and the hospital here is one of the best in the country.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Everyone I know who's been there's had a positive experience.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Oh, I can give you the name of my dentist too in Bridge Street,
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
if you're interested.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I've been going to him for years and I've never had any problems.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Oh, OK. Thanks!
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I'll find his number and send it to you.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Thanks, that would be really helpful.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Are you planning to visit Banford soon?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Yes, my wife and I are both coming next week.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
We want to make some appointments with estate agents.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
I could meet you if you like and show you around.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Are you sure?
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
We'd really appreciate that.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Either a Tuesday or Thursday is good for me, after 5.30.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Thursday's preferable.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Tuesday I need to get home before 6 pm.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Okay great.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Let me know which train you're catching
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
and I'll meet you in the cafe outside.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
You can't miss it.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
It's opposite the station and next to the museum.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Brilliant, I'll text you next week then.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
Thanks so much for all the advice.
Complete the challenge or
click here
to show.
No problem. I'll see you next week.
