你想知道些什麼？

You：In fact, the biggest problem has to do with Money. Money is at the heart of the matter.

實際上，許多問題都是涉及到錢。主要問題就是房租。

David：Well, the rent of an apartment depends on the value of the area where the apartment is located and it also depends on the size of the apartment. It is very common for students to live together in order to split the rent.

噢，房租是根據房子所處的地段以及房子大小而定的。學生們一般喜歡和別人合租，然後各自承擔部分費用。

You：Good idea. That way they can help each other out.

這主意不錯，可以互相幫助一下。

David：That is right.

對呀。

You：how do you search for a housemate you want to live with,? Can you make an advertisement in newspaper

那怎麼找合租夥伴呢？在報紙上登廣告嗎？

David：Advertisements for housemates are common in the newspaper. These ads explain what kind of person you are looking for.

報紙上有很多徵室友的廣告，只要在上面說明你想找什麼樣的室友就行了。
