    The couple spent last weekend looking at apartments and found two they like but can't decide between. The husband prefers the first apartment as it is closer to work, in a newer building, and brighter inside. However, it is more expensive. The wife prefers the second apartment as it has larger rooms and is cheaper, but it is farther from work. They plan to look at more apartments next weekend to hopefully find one they both like.

    Finding an Apartment (comparative

    adjectives)
    My wife and I need a new place to live. We spent the past week-end looking at apartments. We
    found two apartments that we like but we can’t decide which one we like better.

    I like the first apartment that we saw. It is closer to work. It is in a newer, cleaner building. The
    inside is brighter because it has bigger windows. The view is nicer too. Unfortunately, it is
    more expensive. The rent is too high.

    My wife likes the second apartment that we saw. It is in an older building and it is in a more
    interesting neighbourhood. The apartment has larger rooms. The rent is cheaper.
    Unfortunately, it is farther from work than the other apartment. It would take both us longer to
    get to work.

    We are going to look at more apartments next week-end. Maybe we will find an apartment that
    we both like!
