2009-2013年江苏专转本英语历年真题(含答案)

He will accept that.

He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you

are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.

The printed details he will give you are called“particulars”. Over the years, a whole language has

grown up, solely for use in Agent's particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and,providing you read it

carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.

Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be

very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say“delightfully situated”.That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks.

If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a

misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.

Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: how many bedrooms it has; anindication of

their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or

the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (联排的). 16. The Estate Agent's Negotiator will ____.
