Recycles

Recall

Say it out loud

  • Call the management company: give your building, room and name, say why you're calling, and ask about the renewal fee.(〜んですが)

  • Explain the renewal to your wife at home: the fee is fixed by the contract, the rent stays the same, and the papers are due by Dec 15.(〜ことになっている・〜までに)

  • Tell a coworker about last night's quake and the stockpile request.(〜そうです(伝聞)・〜よう(に)呼びかける)

YOUR TURN

(の):「チン、はをするんですか。」 Answer in 3–4 sentences: you have to send your lease renewal papers by Dec 15, so you'll check them with your family (〜までに); the renewal fee is one month's rent under the contract (〜ことになっている); and since the new agency is calling for a one-week stockpile (〜よう・〜です), you'll buy water and portable toilets ahead of time (〜ておく).
