Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.

Answer

  1. It could be fun living with lots of young people, but you might have to live with people who are noisy, dirty, untidy, inconsiderate, etc. 
  2. You might have good views and be near a city centre, but it might be noisy, small, you'd have to use a communal lift.
  3. You would live and work with the same people all day, you might not have much space or privacy, but a sense of cameraderie.
  4. Likely to vary: the best homes have friendly, caring staff, a bright clean environment and good food.  It might be depressing seeing very old people who are ill or can’t look after themselves.
  5. It can be fun living with friends, having people to talk to and go out with. There are often problems sharing the cleaning and dealing with money.
  6. You would have privacy and would be free to keep it how you like it. It would be quiet, you might feel lonely, it might be cramped.
