Episode 77: Writing an advert
Alice: |
Right, how does this sound? Wanted: student or young professional… |
Tim: |
… male student or young professional. |
Alice: |
Ok. From the top. Wanted: male student or young professional for bright, sunny room in flatshare. |
Tim: |
… in mixed flatshare … |
Alice: |
… for bright, sunny room in mixed flatshare. Must be clean, tidy and easy-going. Close to shops, pubs and buses. Reasonable rent. |
Helen: |
Shouldn’t we say something about the cat? He might be allergic. |
Alice: |
Ooh, yeah, good point. Must be clean, tidy, easy-going and must like cats. Ooh, and shall we say something about, you know, the dishwasher, tv, broadband. |
Helen: |
Yeah, put ‘all mod cons’. |
Alice: |
Ok, mixed flatshare with all mod cons. Shall I read it back to you? |
Tim: |
Yeah, and then call the small ads department at the Gazette. Or we could go with the Courier. |
