浙江省浙南名校联盟2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次联考英语试题
Nowadays, for many people, buying a house or flat is just too expensive. However, the total amount of rent paid by tenants in Britain in 2017 rose to more than 50 billion-more than double the level of ten years prior. Consequently, a lot choose to share the flat.
The pros? People rent a room and share the kitchen, living room and bathroom to save money.You may not even need to ask; just leave an IOU. Additionally, there's the fact that you gain access to their social networks. Living with people means meeting their friends, who may then become your friends.Due to the nature of communal living, you're not just dealing with your own life events. Most likely, there will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need one. But don't forget to pay back when they need it.
Now the cons.In most cases, the kitchen, for example, will be divided up into designated shelves and areas. Worse, many people may not respect these boundaries. You might well come home to find someone steal your milk or shower gel, and no one owns up to it. Furthermore, there are the unexpected guests. If a flatmate forgets to keep you informed of a party they're throwing and it can be challenging for you to have a quiet night.
