Exercise No 2

In the beginning of the twenty-first century, more

unrelated people are living together under the same roof.
These people may be joined together for love. They may
be joined for convenience. Or, they may be joined out of
necessity. Whatever the reason, choosing a roommate is
one of the most important decisions that you will make. If
two people are united for love, then choosing a roommate
is a very personal decision. If two or more people are
going to live together for convenience, or out of necessity,
then choosing roommates is an important decision. This
decision must be well thought out .Choosing a roommate
is difficult, but the process you use in choosing a
roommate is as important as the roommate you choose,
because the process you choose will lead to your
roommate, and your new roommate will have a significant
effect on your life.

Précis
Unlike individuals are living under one roof out of
affection, comfort, or some kind of obligation in the
current century. When choosing a roommate for
convenience or necessity, the process must be thoughtful
because the person one chooses will have a momentous
impact on one’s life.

The test of a good book is whether we want to read it only
once or more than once. Any book, which we want to read
for the second time even more than we wanted to read it
the first time, is really a great book. Every additional
reading will help us understand it better and we will help
us understand it better and we will find new beauties in it.
A book that a person of education and good taste does
not care to read more than once is very probably not
worth much.
