A room with a view
Anna is working in the London sales office of Lufthansa, the big German airline. She is going to be in England for at least two years. She likes the job; she likes London. The reason she is not happy is that she cannot find a room of her own. She has looked at many flats but they have all been so expensive. At the moment she is staying with a cousin in Putney, a suburb of London.
The two girls do not get on well together. Anna knows that she must find a room of her own. She likes Putney. The journey to her office only takes twenty minutes. So, the question is can she find a room in Putney for a reasonable rent?
On Tuesday, April the 15th, Anna asked the manager for the morning off. The manager said that she could have the whole day free. She left the house and got a bus to Putney Bridge. Anna set off for the offices of The Echo, the local newspaper, to put an advertisement. She arrived at the offices of The Echo at twenty past nine and went up to the advertising department on the second floor.
Opposite her she saw a pretty, dark-haired girl and smiled at her. The girl was also filling in a form.
Anna looked at the girl for a while and finally said:
Anna: Excuse me. I’m not quite sure how you say this in English. Do you say “I want to let a room” or “I want to rent a rent”?
Girl: Well, that depends. Have you got a room, or…
Anna: No, I want one…
Girl: Then you want to rent a room. You rent a room from someone, you let a room to someone.
Anna: I see. I always mix up those two verbs.
Girl: You speak very good English. Where do you come from?
Anna: Germany. My home’s in Hamburg. My name’s Anna Klein.
Girl: How do you do? I’m Susan Bond. (They shake hands). You say you are looking for a room?
Anna: Yes.
Susan: Are you looking for a furnished or unfurnished room?
Anna: Furnished.
Susan: Hm. How much do you want to pay?
Anna: Not more than five pounds a week.
Susan: That’s funny. We want to let a room, and the rent is five pounds a week. Why don’t you come and see it? It’s quite near here.
Susan and Anna left the offices of The Echo together. They crossed the bridge over the river and walked along the busy High Street. Then they climbed a steep hill and took the third turning on the left. The name of the street was Chestnut Avenue.
It was a tall, well-built house. Anna liked the look of it immediately. Susan walked up a short flight of steps and opened the front door. Anna followed her into the hall.
Susan: Mother’s out. But I can show you the room. It’s on the top floor. (They climbed the stairs). Here we are. (She opens a door on the landing at the top of the stairs).
Anna: What a lovely room!
Susan: Do you like it?
Anna: Yes, I do. Very much. (She walks over the window and looks at the view). And such a marvelous view! Doesn’t the river look beautiful when the sun is shining on it? I like to live near water. You’ve got a very nice garden, haven’t you?
Anna liked the room very much. It was bigger than she expected – about twenty feet (6 meters) long by sixteen feet (5 meters) wide. That evening Anna met Mrs. Bond, the two of them got on very well. So, Anna got a room with a view over the river Thames.
