LISTENING
Listen carefully to the tape. Mr Brown's landlady has many house rules. Write down five of them.
It's that woman,she drives me crazy. It all started right from the very first day. I would say from the very first evening when I set foot into that house. "Good evening, Mr Brown could you please put your coat on the peg? Oh, no, not there. In the closet please. Yes, thank you.And oh your shoes,could you please take them off. Thank you. And eh...your umbrella. Yes could you please put your umbrella in the umbrella stand? Oh, no, not there. Here, please don't forget the key of the front door. Here you are. And remember, if you come home after midnight please lock the door. Good night. Oh, Mr Brown. Would you please be quiet after nine o'clock in the evening? And that was only the beginning. "Mr Brown, don't shower after nine" she shouted. she would walk pass my door and say "Mr Brown would you please remember not to smoking in the bathroom? could you lock the door please?" Will you turn down your radio please?" "Please Mr Brown,could you speak quietly on the phone?" It was terrible.Oh I could not stay there another week for sure. and then there was this letter "Dear Mr Brown." said. "Could you please return the key of the front door? And one more question "Can you help me find a new talent for my flat?
