Here is a sample conversation between him and his colleague Katie.<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: I hope you\u2019ll enjoy your stay in Edinburgh. It is a nice city. By the way, have you found somewhere to live yet?<\/p>\n Ravi<\/strong>: No, I am staying in a hotel at the moment. It is very expensive. I would like to rent a flat.<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: Would you mind renting a room in a shared house?<\/p>\n Ravi<\/strong>: That\u2019s fine, but I haven\u2019t been able to find a room as yet.<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: Don\u2019t worry. There is a spare room in the house where I live. It is a big house and has got six rooms. If you are interested, you can come and have a look.<\/p>\n Ravi<\/strong>: Yes. Why not? What\u2019s the house like? Does it have a centralized heating system? I\u2019m not used to living in extreme cold weather.<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: Yes. It is a modern house. It will keep you warm and comfortable during the cold winter months.<\/p>\n Ravi<\/strong>: By the way, I\u2019m a vegetarian. Will it be possible for me to cook my own food? Also my parents might come over in the summer. Do they allow guests?<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: That\u2019s fine. You can cook your food if that is what you want. The house has got a big kitchen. All of us have guests sometimes, so your parents can come over whenever they want.<\/p>\n Ravi<\/strong>: Could I have a look at the room this evening?<\/p>\n Katie<\/strong>: Sure, I\u2019ll give you the address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are some phrases you may hear or use when you are looking for accommodation.
