J: Finally I managed to find a place to live in Beijing.
我總算在北京找到住的地方了。

P: That is great to hear! Where is it?
那太好啦！在哪個地方？

J: Somewhere near my place of work. I don’t know the location exactly, I am new here.
離我工作地地方很近，我不知道具體的地址，我纔剛來呢。

P: No worries, I hope you are near a subway station, too.
沒事，我希望你附近有個地鐵站。

J: Yep. The transportation is very convenient… one of the factors that I decided to rent that place.
附近有。交通很便捷，這是我覺得租下那個地方的原因之一。

P: Yeah that is very important. Where I was living in Perth before I came to China was like that, only 5 minutes walk from the train station and 2 minutes walk from a bus route to the city and a big shopping centre.
恩，這很重要。在我來北京之前，我在帕斯住的地方情況就是這樣的，只要走5分鐘就可以到火車站，走2分鐘就可以到達開往城裏的公交線和一個大型的購物中心。

J: Cool! I think I am starting to settle in.
真棒！我覺得我開始適應新環境了。

P: That is good. It will take a little bit of time.
這很好啊。這是需要一點時間的。
