1
I had a pretty uncomfortable conversation with my roommate yesterday.
2
I honestly thought it might turn into an argument.
3
Oh no. What happened?
4
Did you two have another problem with the apartment?
5
Not exactly.
6
My roommate invited a friend to stay over.
7
At first, I didn't mind, because I thought it was just for one night.
8
Let me guess.
9
One night turned into two?
10
Two, then three.
11
And nobody even asked me if I was okay with it.
12
Wait.
13
Three nights?
14
So you basically had a third roommate.
15
Where was this person sleeping?
16
On the couch, in our living room.
17
And every time I came home from work, they were there watching TV or using the kitchen.
18
That sounds annoying.
19
Couldn't you just relax in your bedroom?
20
I could, but that's not the point.
21
I pay rent to share an apartment with one person, not two.
22
I felt like I had no privacy.
23
Did your roommate at least tell you how long the guest was planning to stay?
24
Nope.
25
And yesterday I came home, saw their clothes and bags all over the living room, and thought, okay, I really need to say something.
26
I would have said something on the second night.
27
So how did you bring it up?
28
I waited until we were alone and said, hey, can we talk about something?
29
My roommate said, sure, what's up?
30
That opening always makes people nervous.
31
What did you say next?
32
I said, it's about your guest.
33
I thought they were only staying for one night, but they've been here for three nights now.
34
And what was your roommate's reaction?
35
My roommate said, yeah, they're staying a few extra days.
36
They're a close friend of mine.
37
Is that a problem?
38
Oh, that sounds a little defensive.
39
Did you tell your roommate how you felt?
40
Yeah.
41
I said, I don't mind having guests over sometimes, but this is getting uncomfortable.
42
I wish you'd asked me first.
43
And let me guess, your roommate didn't think it was a big deal.
44
Exactly!
45
My roommate said, it's just a few nights.
46
What's the big deal? are you saying I can't have friends over?
47
Oh, I hate when people turn a simple request into something completely different.
48
What did you say?
49
I said, that's not what I'm saying.
50
Of course you can have guests, but we share this apartment and I didn't agree to having someone stay here for several nights.
51
That's fair.
52
You're not trying to control anything.
53
You just want to feel comfortable at home.
54
Exactly.
55
I added, I'm not trying to be difficult.
56
I just want some privacy.
57
Can we agree to talk about overnight guests in advance.
58
Okay, that's a reasonable request.
59
Did your roommate finally understand?
60
After a moment, yeah.
61
My roommate said, okay, I guess I should have asked you first.
62
My friend is leaving tomorrow anyway.
63
Well, that's a relief.
64
But did you agree on what happens next time?
65
We did.
66
I said, can you give me a heads up next time, especially if someone wants to stay more than one night.
67
My roommate agreed and apologized.
68
Good so things didn't get too awkward afterward?
69
A little, but I'm glad I spoke up.
70
I don't mind visitors.
71
I just don't want to come home wondering how many people are living in my apartment.
72
Fair enough.
73
You agreed to split the rent with one roommate, not open a free hotel for all their friends.
74
One cup of English.
75
Real English for real life.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
