### 1.今日话题 ###

Some people prefer to share a large house with other students, others perfer to live in a smaller apartment alone . Which do you perfer and why ?

### **2.示范答案** ###

House-sharing  is a great idea. I used to love it , but now I perfer to live by myself.

It takes a lot of luck to have a good house-sharing experience. The most difficult part is to find good housemates.

With strangers ,  you never know whether you are going to get along or not . And it's not necessarily a good idea to live with friends either. You may be the best of friends but it's another story when you live under the same roof. I tried to live with a friend once . We fell out big time .

However, when I'm living by myself I don't have to worry about all that . Rent is a little more expensive, but I'd rather spend a bit extra to save me from all the hassle.

### 3.核心词句 ###

（1）house-sharing 合租

（2）used to do  过去常常做，暗指现在已经不这样做了。

e.g.  I used to love swimming when i was little. 我小的时候总是很喜欢游泳。

（3）housemate 室友

housemate 指住在一个屋子里的室友，roommate指住在一个房间里的室友。另外，英式英语中室友也称flatmate。flat指公寓，相当于apartment ，所以flatmate指住在同一公寓里的室友。

（4）get along with sb. 与某人相处的很好。

e.g. My daughter just transferred to this school . I hope she'll get along with the other kids.我女儿刚刚转到这所学校。我希望她能跟其他的小朋友相处得很好。

（5） not necessarily 未必，不一定

e.g. Our clients won't  necessarily understand why we are raising our prices. 我们的客户不一定理解我们为什么会涨价。

（6）it's another story  字面意思是“这是另外一个故事”，但也可以表达“这是另一回事”。

（7）fall out with sb. 与某人闹翻。
