Accommodation
1.Can you describe the place where you live?
Well, I live in a high-rise building where the facilities are good in urban area. There are air-conditioning and voice-controlled doors in the building. However, people who live here rarely communicate with their neighbours and they’re quite indifferent to each other.
我住在一个高层里,这的设施在市区中算不错的了。大楼里有空调系统和声控大门。但是住在这里的人们很少和周围邻居交流,他们相互之间很冷漠。
2.Are the transport facilities to your home very good?
Yes, it’s quite convenient. There’s a subway station not far from where I live. Normally, I take it to go and off work. Plus, actually, a bus station is just near the community, but unfortunately, it’s very crowded during rush hour.
是的,很方便。离我家不远的地方有一个地铁站,一般我都是坐地铁上下班的。还有,小区附近有一个公车站,但高峰时车上太挤了。
3.Can you describe the room you live in?
Well, my apartment is well decorated. Actually, I have a large coffee table in front of the sofa, so I can put coffee, magazines and different types of snacks on it. And also, the wall of my room is in light green which makes me feel like to be surrounded by the natural world.
我家是精装修的。沙发前有一个大咖啡桌,我可以在上面放咖啡、杂志和各种零食。我房间的墙壁是淡绿色的,让我觉得好像置身于大自然当中一样。
4.What can you see when you look out the window of your room?
Sadly, there’s no magnificent scenery out of my window because, you know, I live in an apartment in the city centre. However, I can see a small garden over my window, there’re some elderly people playing Tai Chi and doing exercises in the morning.
很不幸,我家窗外没什么华丽风景,因为我住在市中心。但是我可以透过窗户看到一个小花园,早上能看到一些老年人在那打太极和做其他运动。
5.In the future, what type of place would you like to live in?
Well, I am thinking of, may be, I’d choose the house near water, not only because I love different types of seafood but also because I enjoy watching the beautiful sunset over the water. You know what, the most impressive thing living near the sea is that, I can invite my friends and family to come here during weekends to have a party or barbecue near the beach.
我在想,也许我会选择一个靠近水的房子,这不仅仅是因为我喜欢吃各种海鲜,还因为我喜欢看海上的日落。你知道吗,住在海边最棒的事就是周末邀请家人或朋友过来,在沙滩边聚会或烧烤。
