H.Discussion

Ann didn’t like living in the hostel. Would you like to live in one? What are the
advantages and disadvantages of living a) in a hostel b) in a flat c) at home?
Answer:
no because it only provides basic facilities provided for all guests
a) the advantages of staying in hostels are clearly cheaper than hotels, cheaper because of
the concept and facilities provided by each inn
the drawback is that bedrooms in hostels are always far from the bathroom and toilet,
sometimes it makes you lazy to go downstairs and go to the bathroom, then sleep again. I
felt like sleeping on the top layer so I had to go up and down stairs.
b) The advantages of living in an apartment, the price is relatively cheaper, the neighbors
don't bother, the security is quite maximum, and the facilities are quite a lot
Disadvantages Do not have their own land, Rarely interact socially, Maintenance costs
are quite high, and space is limited
c) The advantages of staying at home, comfortable, free, having neighbors, and always
hanging out with family
The drawback is that it is full of neighbors, boredom and sometimes disputes with
neighbors.

SUMMARY UNIT 6 :

Ann wrote about her experience when she was in her new dorm. on september 30th he moved to a
dormitory in an ugly concrete building near the main road. his room was small but a little nice. he
would put a poster on the wall. on october 7 he started college actually he was a little lazy and he
thought he would rather go to library.but this is a must so push yourself. these few days something
was bothering him. some students were bothering him. they were so noisy he finally told the
supervisor.

but the supervisor ignored it. then he met 3 people in his class and asked them to join in sharing a flat.
maybe it's just an old house but it's better than the previous hostel. because there has their own
kitchen and they can cook themselves.
