Conversation 3

M: I didn't see you at the International Talent Show.

W:（8）No time for that kind of thing.（没时间管那些事情，反映出女士消极的态度。）

M: You mean you don't belong to the ISA?

W: The ISA?

M: International Student Association.

W: Oh, no. I don't belong to any clubs.

M: But this isn't like a regular club.

W: How so?

M: Well, we have a house. You know, the brick house on fraternal row.

W: You live there, right?

M: Yeah. I moved in last year. It's really inexpensive because we take care of the house ourselves and we cook our own meals.

W: That sounds like it would take a lot of time.

M: Not really.（9）There's a list of chores posted every week, and you can choose something you like to do.（家务活的安排：从家务清单上选择自己喜欢的工作。）

W: But you have to cook too, right?

M: Okay，it's like this: twenty of us .live there so every night two of the guys cook and two of the guys clean up, so you only have to cook about once a week and clean up once.

W: That sounds good.

M: And it costs about half what it did to live in the dorm.（10）But really. I'm doing it because it's a great experience living with people from so many different countries.（居住在 ISA 真正的原因：和世界各地的朋友一起居住的经历。）

W: I wish I had time to do it. It really sounds interesting.
