生活英语情景口语:住在学校里
时间：2018-11-30 作者：英语课 分类：生活英语情景口语
L: what's your apartment like?
H: it's furnished two bedroom flat in a three-story building on campus.
L: what is it like living in on-campus housing?
H: it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen 1 that live nearby are really loud, especially on the weekends. But, the rent is much cheaper than private housing, so it's worth it.
L: did you have to pay a deposit?
H: no, but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months, so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month.
L: do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent?
H: no, it's all included. Besides, students don't have to pay council tax, so we're saving quitea bit of money by living here.
L: how long is your contract for?
H: that's the bad thing---the contract ends in June, so we'll have to find a new apartment soon.
L: have you started looking again yet?
H: not yet. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something cheap once all the students leave the city for the summer.
L: Good luck!
你租的房子怎么样？
在学校里面，是个三层楼里的两居室，有家具。
学校里面的房子怎么样？
比我想象的要好一点。住在附近的大一新生有点吵，尤其是周末。但是房租比外面的私人住宅要便宜得多，算是物有所值。
要付押金吗？
不需要，但是我们得在本年里付清9个月的房租，相当于在前半年里每月各付一个半月的租金。
水电费要单算吗？
不用，都是含在租金里的。而且，学生不用付房租税，所以说我们住在这儿又省下一笔钱。
你的合同什么时候到期？
这是最糟糕的事---合同6月就到期了，所以我们马上还得另找房子。
你现在已经开始找了吗？
还没呢。我希望到了夏天学生们一放暑假就都离开这儿了，到时候能找个便宜的房子。
祝你好运吧。
