英语练习题,
Flat-sharing
-the inside story
You've got a problem.You're going to go to university in a different town and you need somewhere to live.Or perhaps you just don't get on with your parents.What can you do?Have you ever thought of sharing a flat?
I know all about it because I've been sharing flats for the past four years,since I moved to Edinburgh to study.I must admit my first experience was a bit of disaster.I saw an advert in the newspaper from a girl who had a falt and was looking for a flatmate.When I met her,she seemed really nice,and I noticed that she had lots of great CDs I wanted to hear and big TV.However,I changed my mind about her a few days after I moved in.I came home from college one day and threw my books and jacket onto the living room sofa.My flatmate looked at them,looked at me and shouted"I hope you're not going to leave those here!"It was then I found out that she was absolutely obsessive about being tidy.It was obvious that wo were incompatible,as I'm definitely not the world's tidiest person.I moved out after the first month.
I then decided to try sharing a house with several people.I rented a room in a big old house which I sharde with four other girls(two Brazilians,a Russian,and an Italian).It was great because the house was always full of young people from all over the world and we had lots of parties.However,there were three problems.Firstly,it was almost impossible to do any work because the house was so noisy.Secondly,there was only one bathroom,and there was always someone in it,especially first thing in the morning when I was already late for class.But the biggest arguments we had were always the day the phone bill arrived!
After a year the foreign girls went home,and I decided to look for a new,preferably quieter flat!This time I decided to share with a friend,somebody I already knew well.We've been living here now for nearly a year and we get on really well except for her irritating habits of eating my yoghurts and finishing the coffee!But it's great having someone else to help pay the rent,to share their dinner with you when you're too exhausted to cook,and who,unlike your parents or your partner,doesn't mind what time you get up or if you've had a bad day or you've broken up with your boyfriend you know there's always someone to talk to.

你将在异乡的大学读书,自己找地方居住,或者你不和父母居住在一起,这时你该怎么办,这是个问题.此时,你想与别人过合租公寓吗?
对此我相当了解,因为我在爱丁堡读书的4年中都是和别人合租公寓的.但是,我不得不承认,我第一次租房的经历确实遇到了些小波折.之前,我在报纸上看到一个女孩,想找一个伴合租一套公寓.见面的时候我发现,她是一个很漂亮的女孩,而且我发现她有很多我喜欢的CD和大屏幕彩电.但是在几天后,我对与她合租公寓的决定后悔不已,.那天,我下课回来,把书和衣服甩在沙发上.我的室友看着那些东西,对着我吼到:“我不希望你把这些东西放在这里.”那时,我意识到了,她有洁癖.虽然我并不是这世界上最脏的人,但是,很明显,我们并不作为寓有并不合适.住完第一个月以后,我就搬走了.
之后,我决定和几个人一起合租一套房子.我和4个女孩(2个来自巴西,一个来自俄罗斯,一个来自意大利)合租了一套房子,我自己拥有一个大房间.这里有来自世界各地年轻人,常常开聚会,对我来说,这棒极了!然而,还是有3个问题有待解决.第一:房间里太吵,几乎干不了任何工作.第二:人多浴室少,而且当我早上要上厕所而且又快要迟到的时候,里面总有人.但是最大的问题还是当月底电话费的帐单.
一年之后,外国女孩走了,我决定自己另租一套比较安静的公寓.这次我决定和我的一个要好的朋友合租.我们在一起住了快一年,除了她常常将我的酸奶和咖啡喝光之外,我们相处的非常的融洽.我想,如果有一个人能和你一起承担房租、一起共进晚餐,在你疲惫的时候给你做饭,并且他不像你的父母、你的拍档,不管你几点起床,在你心情不好或者和女友脑分手的时候能和你谈心,那不是一件非常好的事吗?
