Bonjour, Madame. Je suis la recherche pour mon mari

et moi dun pavillon prs des Ulis,

Good morning, maam. I am looking for a house for my
husband and me near Les Ulis,

De prfrence avec un jardin et situ dans un village

avec des commerces.

Preferably, with a garden and located in a village with

merchants (shops).

Combien de pices vous faut-il? il nous faut un grand

sjour, deux chambres et une cave.

How many rooms do you need? we need a big living-room,

two bedrooms and a cellar.

En plus, il faut absolument un garage, une cuisine

amnage et le chauffage central.
In addition, we absolutely must have a garage, a fitted
kitchen and central heating.
Et quel loyer etes vous prts mettre? Pas plus de
mille.

And how much rent are you prepared to pay? no more

than 1,000.

Je pense quil faut que vous soyez un peu moins

exigeants. A ce prix-l, il vaut mieux envisager un
appartement.
I think you had better be a little less demanding. At that
price, youd better consider a flat.
9 Et pourquoi pas Paris? Vous pouvez prendre le RER pour
aller aux Ulis.

And why not in Paris? The Regional Express goes to Les

Ulis.
10 Justement, jai un trois-pices avec cuisine et salle de
bains dans le quatorzime pour mille. Il y a un bail de trois
ans, avec un mois de caution et deux mois de loyer.

In fact, I have a three m-roomed apartment with a
kitchen and bathroom in the 14th (district) for 1,000. its a
three-year lease with one months deposit and two months
rent.
11 Vous voulez le visiter? il faut que je demande mon
mari. Je vous rappelle demain.
11 Do you want to visit it? Ill have to ask my husband. Ill
call you back tomorrow.
12 Jean-Michel, que penses-tu dun appartement plutt
quune maison? Cest plus facile entretenir.
12 Jean-Michel, what do you think about a flat instead of a
house? Its easier to keep up (maintain).
13 Mais on avait dit quon voulait un pavillon, non? Pourquoi
as-tu chang davis?
13 But we said we wanted a house, didnt we? Why have you
changed your mind?

14 A cause du loyer. Un appartement cote moins cher

quune maison. _ bon argument!
14 Because of the rent. A flat costs less than a house. thats a good argument!
15 daccord, jappelle lagence la premire heure demain
