实际上，许多问题都是涉及到钱。主要问题就是房租。

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，房租是根据房子所处的地段以及房子大小而定的。学生们一般喜欢和别人合租，然后各自承担部分费用。

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

这主意不错，可以互相帮助一下。

David：That is right.

对呀。

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

那怎么找合租伙伴呢？在报纸上登广告吗？

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

报纸上有很多征室友的广告，只要在上面说明你想找什么样的室友就行了。
