住，无论在什么时候都是一个大问题，在校园生活中也不例外。在学校生活中，我们要么选择和舍友住在学校中，享受宿舍和教室之间的便利;要么选择住在校外，享受自由。那么这类问题中经常会出现的词汇有哪些呢?本次前程百利小编就来和大家分享一下这些托福口语词汇，希望可以帮助大家在托福口语考试中熟悉这类话题!
Listen to a conversation between two students
(woman) Hey, Matt, how’s it going?
(man) Uh, so so. I’ve got a problem with my housing next semester and I have to make a decision soon.
(woman) What’s going on?
(man) Well, I lived in the dormitory, and I’ve got a great roommate for the last two year, but he’s moving off campus next semester.
(woman) Oh! So?
(man) So now I have to make a big decision. You know, about my living arrangements.
(woman) Well, couldn’t you just get a new roommate? Doesn’t the university automatically assign someone to take his place?
(man) Yeah, they do. The thing is, I am concerned about sharing a room with somebody new. There could be problems, like, what if he wanted to go to sleep at ten o’clock? I am used to studying late at night and that would throw off my whole study schedule.
(woman) I guess that’s possible. But it is convenient to be on campus, easy to get to class and all. What else could you do?
(man) Well, My roommate found a house off campus with some other friends and there’s another bedroom available. I could have it, but I have to let them know by the end of the week.
(woman) A house sounds like a good idea. It’d be fun to live with the group of people.
(man) True, and it would definitely be economical with everyone splitting the rent, but it’s just that this house is really far from campus. I’d have to wake up much earlier to get to class. It’d just be a lot more inconvenient than living in the dorm.
