这个单词有的同学可能还不认识，Accommodation is a place to live, work or stay in ，这里我们就指住处。提到住处我们能想到的都有什么？ 住在哪里啊，环境怎么样啊？周围都有什么？想不想搬家啊？ 如果你搬过家的话，现在住的和之前住的有什么不同么？等等诸如此类的问题...

1.       Do you live in a house or a flat?

2.       Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?

3.       Do you plan to live there for a long time?

4.       What's the difference between where you are living now and in the past?

5.       Can you describe the place where you live?

6.       Which room does your family spend most of the time in?

7.       Are the transport facilities to your home very good?

8.       Please describe the room you live in.

9.       What parts of your home do you like the most?

10.   Are you willing to live in the countryside in the future?

我们不难看出，所有的问题都是围绕你家的周边环境及内部环境展开的，还有最后一个问题想不

住在乡下，也就是说对比的绝不是简单的小环境了，而是城市和乡村的区别了，所以我们只要搞

明白这两点就好了。

outside 外部环境

Location：City center = CBD（central business district）

                  Riverside

                  Far away from the downtown

Living facility：supermarket/ shopping mall hospital/school/restaurant/bank / bus station

Traffic condition ： Convenient/ poor transportation

                                 Reach out in all directions  四通八达

inside 内部环境

Decoration ： Simple style

                        Fine style

                        European Style

Parts：Living /dinning/ bed/ restroom

            Balcony / study /cloakroom

            Sofa, TV, king-sized bed, nightstands, study desk, wardrobe, dresser

这里要注意一点，当我们形容沙发，床或是家的时候我们就只会说舒服的comfortable一种，然后就没了，没了，没了！ 现在360°无死角安利大家其他的表达方式，例如：

cozy sofa/ bedroom 舒适的沙发/房间

sweet/warm home 温馨的家

relaxing/free 放松的

lively 热闹的

（悄悄的告诉你，如果你一个都没记住的话，你可以用comfy来代替comfortable哦~）

由于话题的重复性，我们就只重点分析3道题：

1.       What's the difference between where you are living now and in the past?

本题是在描述现在住的地方跟过去住的地方有什么不同

所以我们一定要对比，我们之前说过对比的表示方法了吧？都有啥来着~

compared with

in / by contrast

As opposed to

好，这道题呢我们有两种方式回答：

第一种，没什么不同就是因为工作或是学习的关系才搬家的，我们重点说学习：

原来住的地方留学校太远了，每天上学要花1个小时才能到，中间可能还要倒车shift=change the bus

第二种，原来住在市郊，离市中心比较远，出行交通不便，

也可能是周围有工厂，所以环境不好，卫生环境差，所以想搬家

补充词汇：

位于：be located in和be situated on

located in the city…，surrounded by，including a living room

住几楼：on the 17th floor of our apartment building

倒车： shift ，change the bus

太远了：  too far from = too long a distance

花时间：cost =take time =spend time doing

交通不便： be lack of transportation  = inconvenient transport

卫生环境差：poor sanitation

由于出于：due to the fact that

位于郊区：in the outskirts of my hometown

2.       Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?

这个问题是个选择题，你更想住在别墅还是公寓，没什么条件限制，反正想也不花钱，所以我们

以随便选择，想住哪里住哪里。还是分情况来说哈~

house ：

安静：quiet

宽敞，私人：more spacious and private

不吵还不拥挤：less noisy to live in a house and people may not feel crowded

小区很安全：communities tend to be safer

flat：

虽然不大但是很舒服：not huge or posh, but cozy and warm

交通便利：convenient transport

离市区很近： near the city center

热闹：lively

3.       Are you willing to live in the countryside in the future？

  相当愿意的，那就是各种吹嘘有多好啊~

1.        住在乡村空气好，没有空气污染

2.        没有噪声污染，在乡村住会很安静

3.        更宽敞的居住空间

  不愿意，城市多好啊

1.      交通便利

2.      生活设施众多

3.      住的舒服

词汇补充：

sample answer：

Sure, living there would be super cool. One of the biggest advantage of living in the rural areas (county) is

your own privacy and peace and quiet. You can hear the birds and wild animals and it sounds like the

pioneer days. You are in your own world. The privacy that you have is that nobody is around to tell you how

loud to play your music or how loud you can get. The country is very peaceful.
