A: Oh, I am not sure I even want to look at this house!
B: It is a bit of a fixer-upper. Let’s take a look inside.
A: It doesn’t look much better inside this place.

A: There are hardly any windows in here, and that makes it really gloomy.
B: Let’s go check out the kitchen. The printout says that it is quite large.
A: Look at those broken tile countertops and the peeling wallpaper.
B: Maybe the master suite has some redeeming qualities. Follow me, please.
A: What’s that smell?
B: Perhaps we should move on to the next listing.
