1 Tamar, what are you doing tomorrow?
2 I’m going to look for an apartment.
3 Really! Is this the first apartment you’re seeing?
4 First apartment? What are you talking about? I’m looking for an apartment for four

months already.
5 Four months?! What, it’s so hard to find an apartment in Jerusalem?
6 Wow, it’s really hard.
7 How many apartments have you seen?
8 I’ve seen six apartments, but there were problems in all the apartments.
9 What [which] problems?
10 In the first apartment there was a leak in the shower. In the second apartment there

were electricity problems. In the third apartment there were mice in the kitchen…
11 Mice in the kitchen?!
12 Yeah, mice.
13 Oh my… And in the fourth apartment?
14 In the fourth apartment there was a big and pretty living room, a decent kitchen, a

new shower and a nice bedroom.
15 So what was the problem?
16 The housemates. The housemates in the apartment were musicians. Every night at

1:00 at night, they play the saxophone.
17 Saxophone at 1:00 at night?! That really is a problem. Ok, what about the fifth

apartment?
18 The fifth apartment was big and pretty, with nice housemates, but it was on the

eighth floor.
19 (On) the eighth floor with an elevator, right?

20 What are you talking about? The buildings in Jerusalem are old, and usually there’s
no elevator in the building.

21 I see… and the sixth apartment?

22 The sixth apartment was on the first floor. It was furnished and pretty.

23 But…?

24 But the rent was 2,300 shekels a month.

25 Wow, it really is hard to find an apartment here.

26 Yeah, very hard. Say, Danny, are you usually lucky [do you usually have luck]?

27 Lucky? I don’t know… Why?

28 Do you want to come with me (and) see the apartment tomorrow?

29 Yeah, why not? I don’t know if I’m lucky, but… who knows?

30 Cool. Tomorrow at 8 o’clock in the morning. Thanks.
