W: Well, that's important. I can't bear noise. What's the cost? M: About 450 a month, I think. Rather a strict landlady, but she keeps the house perfectly. W: Where is it? M: Five minutes' bus ride from the school, near Jean's college. There's a bus stop just outside the house. Let me know as soon as possible if you want it, or it'll be taken.

A: M: Are you going to New York by car or by train?
Question: M: OK, here's my story, I was about 18 months old I think and I had just started to say my first word. Every time a truck went by, I would shout a word that sounded like a track, but to everyone else, it sounded nothing like it. My parents tried to correct me, but failed. Then, about three months later, we traveled to New York, as we were waiting for our plane at the air?port. I looked out of a huge window, at that very moment I saw the largest truck in the world, I had to tell someone about this. I turned to my father who was standing next to about a thousand people waiting for the very flight and screamed "Track! Track!" My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited, I kept screaming my special word. My poor mother decided she didn't know this baby and then ran into the ladies-room where she hid until I finally stopped. Well, I learned how to say truck correctly, and soon I was talking like a normal child. However, my parents will never forget the very first word I produced in my life.

The President usually entertains members of the government and visitors from other countries. M: I hope I could get a reception at the White House some time.
