介绍:
问题：Why do most Chinese live in apartments rather than houses?
I’m pretty certain that if we had a choice, most of us would prefer to live in comfortable and spacious houses rather than the extremely inconvenient apartments. I mean, nobody wants to climb the stairs or having to take elevators every day, and I’m sure everyone would love to have a backyard in their homes where they can play and relax in. The thing is that the land price in the cities just went through the roof over the last thirty years or so due to the population boom, and it’s pretty much impossible for the common folks to afford a house, especially in the urban areas. It’s still very common to see houses in the rural areas, but as for the people in the cities, it would take them a huge sum of fortune to buy a house. And that’s why everyone is stuck in an apartment.
重点词汇：
spacious adj. 宽敞的 （在用来形容建筑内部的时候，可以替换big）
elevator n. 垂直电梯 （和自动扶梯escalator不是同一个词）
boom n. 爆炸式增长 （注意该词本来是象声词）
folk n. 人 （指老百姓，名词经常以复数形式出现）
urban adj. 城市的 （来自于urb词根，注意该词根的各种搭配）
rural adj. 农村的 （与urban相反，适合放在同一语境下一起使用）
高分表达：
climb the stairs 爬楼梯 （固定搭配，注意climb mountain是错的）
went through the roof 快速增长 （固定搭配，增长速度快到把房顶击穿）
a huge sum of fortune 一大笔钱 （固定搭配，fortune也指财富）
那么这就是我们今天所有的内容，今天讲的Part3问题是，为什么大多数中国人住在公寓里而不是别墅里。关注超级学长，获取实时留学资讯~
