How to be a good roommate

Roommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at school. Follow a few simple tips to ensure you’re not the awful roommate everyone’s talking about.

Respect each other

First and foremost, you need to respect your roommate.

●1. If your roommate is sleeping, keep the noise and light levels down. If your roommate is studying, don’t have loud conversations in the same room. If in doubt, ask yourself whether you would be annoyed if your roommate didn’t do the above things for you.

●Keep it clean. 2. . Hair in the shower or bathrooms littered with magazines or dirty clothes. Respect means keeping your side of the room clean. And hopefully, if your roommate sees you keeping your side clean,he will keep his side clean.

●Keep your hands off their stuff. 3. . If you really need to borrow something of theirs, always ask before you do. If they say no, don’t get angry. Some people just don’t like other people using their stuff.

Set basic rules

You and your roommate should establish some basic rules. For instance, I really don’t like it while I am studying. 4. I’d rather be writing my paper than listening to you tell your best friend about your weekend. So discuss that with your roommate. Make a compromise(折中方案), but the tie should go to the person studying. Another example is to discuss cleaning duties. Dividing cleaning duties will make your room cleaner and it will help ease roommate tensions. 5.

A. It is amazing how people don’t understand what it means to be considerate.

B. Taking out the trash and tidying the room are just a few things to consider.

C. I have heard many horror stories about dirty roommates.

D. I’m not good at doing several things at the same time.

E. Don’t use your roommate’s items (物品) without asking.

F. Talk on the phone.

G. Be considerate.
