Situation:
Imagine that you have won a scholarship to study at a college in America for three months. You are looking for a place to live while you are studying. The choice has come down to two places.
A. First place: Student dormitory
Student: Could you tell me where the student dormitory is?
Examiner: It is in the campus.
Student: How much will it cost to stay there?
Examiner: It will cost 800$ a month including breakfast and dinner.
Student: Does the student dormitory have any sports or entertainment facilities?
Examiner: Yes it has a TV lounge, a cafeteria, a gym and a fitness center.
Student: It is nice! I am very excited about these facilities. Finally I would like to know how to get to the college from the student dormitory.
Examiner: It is very easy! It is only a 10-minute walk from the lecture halls.
Student: It is very convenient for a student.
B. Second place: room in private house
Student: I would like to know where the house is?
Examiner: It is a big traditional house 4 miles from the campus.
Student: Could you tell me how much it will cost?
Examiner: It will cost 450$ a month for only one room.
Student: Please let me know if the house offers any special facilities.Is it convenient to use public transport from the house to get to the college?
Examiner: Yes, it is very convenient because there is a bus every hour from the house or you could ride your bike to get to the college.
Student: Yes, it sounds good! But I would like to know if this house offers any special facilities.
Examiner: Yes, you can use a shared kitchen, laundry room, but there are no shops or entertainment nearby.
Student: This would be very uncomfortable.
Choosing an Option:
My first choice would be the student dormitory because I think that it would suit me best. I thing that I would have more fun with the company of the fellow students and also there are some facilities which would make my life easier and more entertaining. The distance from the dormitory to the college is convenient and if I go on foot or by bike it's a good way to do exercise every day to keep fit and healthy.I wouldn't probably choose the room in the private house because I think that to stay with a family would be pressing for me and makes me feel very uncomfortable .In addition, the facilities which are offered in a room of a private house don't meet my needs,as the lack of transportation methods would be a problem.
As a result, I'd choose to stay in a student dormitory because it is important to me to feel relaxed and pleasantly.
