听力原文： If you were a college student, there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should also walk around and look for buildings with 'For Rent' signs. When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors. It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems. If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If there is no damage the landlord has to return this money when you leave. Whom can you ask for help to look for a place to live?
