text: John: Hey, James. found accommodation?
  James: I am looking for an apartment to rent. what about you?
  John: Yes me too.. Since my parents’ house is so far away, I need to find an apartment closer to school. I thought you were going to stay at the school dormitory.
  James: I still have not decided whether to stay at the dormitory or not. I am looking at different options to find the cheapest lodging.
  John: So, what are you looking for?
  James: All I need is a place big enough for my bed, my desk and my television. 
  John: Me too. 
  James: How long have you been looking?
  John: I just started this week. Since school is going to start next month, I figured I better start the process as soon as possible.
  James: It is not easy to find an apartment to your liking that does not cost a lot. I 
  John: Really? Is it that difficult to find an apartment?
  James: No, it is just that everything I like so far is too expensive and way beyond my reach.
  John: Is it because they are very close to school? I heard that the closer they are to school, the higher the rental cost.
  James: Maybe that is the problem. Since I do not have a car, I need to find something close to school. 
  John: Have you thought about sharing an apartment? If you want, we can find a two bedroom apartment and share it. It may be cheaper that way.
  James: That could solve our problem.
  John: Wait! Maybe we should talk this over before we decide.James: Right. For this plan to succeed, we need to come up with some sort of agreement or set of rules.
  John: Here is my first question: What do you do during the weekdays?
  James: I have to go to work from 8:00AM to 12:00PM, and then I have school from 1:00PM to 5:00PM. After that I plan to go home, eat dinner, and work on my school assignments. How about you?
  John: Well, I have class from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, and then I go to the library to work until 2:00PM. After that, it is school again until 4:00PM. I plan to stay on campus until 6:00PM to work on my computer projects, and then go home to work on my other classes’ assignments.
  James: It is my turn to ask the second question. Do you plan to have your friends over at the apartment very often?
  John: No, not on weekdays. I want to finish my homework during the weekdays as much as possible. I think half of my weekend will also be reserved for homework. If my friends do stop by, it will probably be during the weekend.
  James: Good, I plan to do the same things during school time. I also plan to visit my parents during the weekend. My mom is a great cook.
  John: My parents’ house is too far to visit once a week. I will go home to see them and my little brother during the holidays. I need to be happy with whatever foods I cook.
  James: It seems that sharing an apartment with you may work. Do you want to try it?
  John: Yes. Let’s go in and take a look at this one.
target: John and James are looking for accommodation near their school. James is short on money and has no car. John suggests sharing an apartment and they agree on a set of rules on using such a place on weekdays and at the weekend. They are going in to have a look at one place.
