Conversation A

(Jack and Laura are talking in their apartment.)

Jack: Our lease is up in a few months. Do you want to move?
Laura: Yes. I'd like to buy a house.
Jack: We have been put away some money. I think we can afford a small one.
Laura: If the down payment isn't too much.
Jack: Right. We can afford about $15,000 for that, I think.
Laura: Then let's start looking! I really want to have our own place.
Jack: Me too.

Conversation B

(Jack and Laura are looking at house.)

Jack: What do you think of this townhouse?
Laura: I like it. It has three bedrooms. I think it's big enough for us.
Jack: I like it because the yard is small. There isn't much to mow!
Laura: I know you don't like yard work!
Jack: I don't. But there is a place for a flower garden in the backyard.
Laura: That's good. I'd like to plant some flowers.
Jack: But remember I don't want to pull the weeds!
