TOEFL TPO 11 SPEAKING TASK 5

W: By the way, Frank, I heard you got a summer research position with professor Davis.
M:A ha, but I 've got a problem.
W:Oh?
M:Yeah, well, since I didn't hear from her for so long. I assumed I didn't get the position, so I didn't apply for a dorm room for the summer. I'm afraid it's too late for that now.
W:Yeah, the deadline for campus housing applications has already passed. So what are you going to do now?
M:Well, I can stay with my parents. They live two hours from here, so I thought I could drive and commute to campus every day. I know my mum and dad will be happy to have me over for a few weeks and most of my old friends will be home for the summer. So in a way, it would be fun.
W: Yeah, I understand. But you ’d spend quite a bit of time on the road going back and forth. Won't you get tired?
M: Yeah, that thought did cross my mind. The other thing I could do is renting an apartment off campus, besides being much closer to work, I ’d also save tons of money on gas.
W: Aha, then you ’d have to pay rent.
M:I know, there is always something, isn't there?
