原版英语对话1000个:015 Roommates

Todd: So, JJ, I hear you\'ve got a good living arrangement.

JJ: I love it, and of course, you know, like any person, I was a little bit leery about living with roommates but at the same time I thought, living in a foreign country, I didn\'t want to isolate myself completely, especially since I don\'t speak the language and I first met Jessica at the airport and when we were close to tears from laughing so hard on the train ride from the airport to Matsudo Station I realized this is going to be a good living arrangement, and we got here and the Brits had taken one half of the apartment and so we Americans moved into the other half and have gotten along brilliantly, even the little squabbles that tend to come up seem to be solved fairly quickly, maturely and I love it. This is the best living arrangement I\'ve ever had. At the same time I think it\'s kind of something that\'s, that can be expected when you come to teach abroad. It takes a certain kind of person to decide to leave everything familiar behind and meet new people, have new experiences. You\'re not taping any of this are you?

Todd: No, I am actually. Thanks a lot JJ.
