Question

【题目】The summer holiday had come to an end before I knew it. Like any other kid, I came to a new school with a suitcase. There were six of us living in a small room about fifteen square meters. Luckily, everything went on well in the first three weeks.

A week ago, one of my roommates brought in a very large suitcase and placed it under her bed, but days later, she found something wrong with her suitcase. As we live on the ground floor, her case soon got wet. She took it out and after drying it up, she just put it on her desk because she had no other choices. I happened to be opposite her desk and her suitcase was so large that it not only occupied the whole of her desk but half of mine as well. I was very much annoyed, so I angrily pushed it forward without first talking to her about it. I pushed a bit too hard and the case fell off her desk, messing up everything it contained. On seeing this, she flew into a temper and angrily shouted at me. The quarrel started and lasted about two hours.

When I calmed down days later, I thought over the quarrel and began to see something. I should have talked to her about it first and then worked with her to find a solution to the problem. Living in a room with limited space, we should learn to get on well with one another.

Answer 1

【答案】

The writer’s roommate put her suitcase on her desk but it occupied part of the writer’s desk, which annoyed the writer and triggered a quarrel. After calming down, the writer realized the importance of getting along well with roommates.

Frankly speaking, I favour boarding schools. Living in boarding schools brings us peers together, enabling us to build a harmonious relationship as well as to learn from each other. Besides, I would have never acquired some basic living skills without boarding school life. Thanks to such a strict routine, I become more self-disciplined, which will be an advantage for my job hunting in the future.

However, some problems inevitably arise in the same dormitory. For instance, it is not unusual to come into conflict with other roommates because of misunderstandings, improper words as well as different lifestyles. Additionally, one might be offended by other roommates if he or she has totally different habits, which is likely to cause tease and sarcasm.

When it comes to the conflict with roommates, I still well recall one of my own experiences. I used to get up one hour earlier before the bell rang when others were sound asleep. Unavoidably, the noise caused by me became a source of annoyance to them, resulting in a serious conflict. At first, we blamed each other without making any compromise but soon on second thought, I realized my fault, apologized to them sincerely and asked for a negotiation. Fortunately, we reached an agreement and solved the problem smoothly. I am fully convinced that it is mutual understanding and forgiveness that are crucial to addressing the problems in the dorms.
