1. John: When I come home from school for the summer, my routine changes. My parents have all these rules and stuff. I have to getup early and help around the house. If I don’t go out by 7:30 at night, I have to stay home; they think it’s too late. At least I don’t have to cook, though. That’s the best part about going home: mom’s cooking.
2. Susan: I just moved into this retirement community. I like it and everything, but I’m not used to all the rules. I can only have visitors during visiting hours, and I have to tell the clerk at the front desk when I go out shopping and things. Well, at least I don’t have to clean anymore.
3. Eli: I like the variety of living in a dorm, you can eat in the cafeteria, or you can eat out with friends. There’s always somebody in the next room or down the hall to do things with. And you can stay out as late as you want. But I must say it is kind of noisy and hard to get a lot of sleep.
4. Tracy: I like choosing my own schedule. I decide when I wake up, when I go to bed, when to study, and I can cook what I want to eat. I don’t like having to clean and do my own laundry everyday, but if I don’t, my room will be dirty, and I won’t have any clean clothes. Real World Listening 1 Predict Answer
