英语听力原文：
Amanda:Hi,David.I hear you moved out of your parents' house a few weeks ago.How is it?
David:Well,it's quite difficult finding the time to do all the housework.
A:Why?What did you do before?
D:I lived with my parents and my mother usually cooked and did the shopping.At the weekends though,I used to cook sometimes,but only if I had time.
A:Yes,but now you've got more freedom that before,haven't you?
D:What do you mean?
A:Well,you can go out and come back anytime,and friends can come and visit or you can have a party anytime,can't you?
D:Well,maybe.But now I share with two other flatmates.
A:What do they do?
D:They're also students.
A:So,no problem.They'd probably like to meet your friends and enjoy parties.That's why I like to live away from my parents.You can meet more people and can make more friends.
D:Yes,that's true,Amanda.But there is so much housework and things to pay for.TV licence,gas and electricity bills,and the house rent.
A:Yes,but it's good experience...practice for when you get married one day.
D:Urm.Maybe.So you really like living alone?
A:I did.
D:What do you mean,you "did"?
A:Well,now I'm living with my parents again.
D:Why's that?
A:I had to move because I hated cooking for myself,and I had no more money.

英语听力翻译：
亚曼达：嗨，戴维，我听说你几个礼拜钱搬出父母家了，新生活如何啊？
戴维：嗯，要找到时间做完全部的家事实在很困难。
亚曼达：怎么说？你以前都怎么做的？
戴维：我以前和爸妈一起住，通常是我妈负责煮饭和买东西，虽然周末我有时也会煮饭，不过只有在我有空的时候。
亚曼达：是啊，但是现在你比以前自由多了，不是吗》
戴维：什么意思?
亚曼达：嗯，你可以在任何时间出门、回家，朋友可以来找你玩，或者可以随时举办派对，不是吗？
戴维：呃，也许吧，但是现在我和两个室友一起住。
亚曼达：他们是做什么的？
戴维：也是学生。
亚曼达：所以就没问题啦，他们可能也会想要认识你的朋友，快乐的参加派对啊。这就是为什么我喜欢离开父母自己住，你可以认识更多人，交到更多朋友。
戴维：是啊，你说的没错，亚曼达。但是有好多家事要做，还有好多钱要付，电视执照费，
瓦斯费，电费，还有房租。
亚曼达：是啊，但这是个好的经验.....为你哪一天要结婚先做练习准备。
戴维：呃，可能吧。所以你真的很喜欢自己一个人住？
亚曼达：以前是。
戴维：“以前”是什么意思？
亚曼达：哎，现在我又和父母住在一起了。
戴维：怎么会这样？
亚曼达：我必须搬回家，因为我讨厌自己做饭，而且我也没钱了。
