W: Congratulations on getting your own apartment, James!

M: Thanks! Now, I just need to get some furniture so I can invite people over.

W: What do you need? My parents have some extra furniture in their garage that I might be able to give you...

M: Well, I have a sofa and a bed. That’s it. If I invited more than two people over, there wouldn’t be enough places for them to sit down.

W: Well, that's a good start. My parents have a couple of tables you might want. They have one for the dining room, as well as a small one you could put your TV on.

M: Wow, thanks. I’d appreciate those.

W: No problem. What else do you need?

M: Well, I need a shelf for my books. You know, I’ve got tons of books.

W: Yeah. I don’t think my parents have an extra one of those. But maybe we could go to some garage sales this Saturday. We might be able to get a nice one.

M: OK, great!Do you want to meet here or at your place?

W: Let’s meet here. That way, if we buy something nearby, we don’t have to carry it very far.

M: Good point.

W: Maybe I’ll invite my brother to come, just in case. He’s strong and can help us carry things...You know what? It’s going to look great in here once you get a few nice things.

M: Yeah. Thanks.
