A sample Answer to this speaking in text:

In the conversation, the woman’s problem is that she has to move out right away because the water pipe in her apartment is broken. There are two possible solutions. The first is to stay at a friend’s place, the second solution is to rent a room in a hotel near campus. I think the second solution is better. First of all, if she rents a room in a hotel, she can have a quiet and personal space to prepare for mid-term exam, there are too many distractions at her friend’s place. Second, the hotel’s near campus, therefore it’ll be easier for her to get to school and library every day. Spending some extra money isn’t so bad considering the fact that she will have better chance at getting a good grade on her exams.

1. Hey Beth!
2. How are things?
3. Not great!
4. Why?What's wrong?
5. I just found out I have to move out of my apartment, like, right away.
6. You are kidding.
7. Well, my apartment...it's in a house, a kind of old house.
8. And now something's wrong with the water pipes.
9. I think some of the pipes burst or wore out or something.
10. Anyway, we don't have any water in the house.
11. And apparently, it's gonna take about two weeks to fix the problem.
12. So you need to find a place to live for what, two weeks or so?
13. Yeah!
14. Bad timing, huh, with mid-term exams coming up and everything.
15. So have you figured out what you are going to do?
16. Well, some friends said I could stay at their place.
17. They don't have an extra bedroom, but they said it'd be OK for me to sleep on their living room couch.
18. You could probably handle that for a couple of weeks right?
19. I guess so.
20. I mean it's really nice of them to offer, and it's free.
21. The only problem is they already have four people living there so it could be a little crowded.
22. And not ideal for studying for mid-terms.
23. Yeah, too many distractions.
24. Um, any other options?
25. Well, I did find this place.
26. It's a small hotel over on 3rd Street right near campus.
27. Oh right!
28. A lot of kids' parents stay there when they come for a visit.
29. Right, so I could get a room there.
30. They have a weekly rate and it's pretty reasonable, but...I don't know.
31. At least at the hotel you'd have a place of your own, you know, so you could get more done.
32. That's definitely a plus.
33. But I have to think about it.
34. Even though it's pretty cheap, it will still end up costing me some money and my budget's pretty tight right now.
