I moved to this area seven years ago. Foryears I have had noisy neighbors. Ever since I moved into this flat, I’ve hadto put up with noise during the night. I decided I’d had enough and I’ve beenlooking for a new flat since the beginning of the year. I haven’t foundanything till now. Every week I go to the estate agent’s（当地房地产代理人的）office, but it’sthe same story. “I might have something by the end of the week” he says, or,“Wait till next week. I think I might have a few flats by then.” I’ve seen afew flats during my search, but I don’t like any of them. One flat I saw hasbeen empty for two years. “It’s got a busy road on one side and a railway onthe other!” I said loudly, “I want peace and quiet.” Last week I visited theagent again. “I won’t leave till you show me something,” I said. “I’ve got justthe flat for you.” I went to see it and I was frightened. “But it’s next to acemetery!” I cried. “But you won’t have noisy neighbors,” my agent said. “It’sexactly right for peace and quiet!”
