  1. 01Living With a Roommate

    Hello, everyone. I'm a student in Melbourne, and I share an apartment with a roommate. Today, I'll talk about the good and bad points of living together.

  2. 02Good Point 1: It's Cheaper

    The first good thing is money. We pay half of the rent and half of the bills each. It is much cheaper than living alone.

  3. 03Good Point 2: I'm Not Lonely

    Another good thing is that I'm not lonely. When I come home, there is someone to talk to. Sometimes we cook dinner together.

  4. 04The Bad Points

    But there are some bad things too. Sometimes it's noisy, and I have less privacy. We also argue about cleaning the kitchen!

  5. 05Conclusion

    For me, the good points are bigger than the bad points. My tip is to make clear rules for cleaning on the first day. Thank you for listening.
