Listening: Moving out of your parents' home
4
Listen to this girl from Hong Kong talking about the "pros and cons" of living on your own. Read these sentences about what she says. THREE of them are false: which ones?
1. Living with your parents isn't common in Hong Kong when you've already found a good job.
2. One of the reasons why some young people don't move out is because they can't do the housework on their own.
3. Her parents think it is good for her to live alone.
4. She lives further away from work now.
5. She enjoys making her own decisions.
6. She had problems in the kitchen of her apartment.
7. Some of the bills she has to pay now include: the rent, phone and gas.
8. Tidying up the kitchen and cooking take her a long time every day.
9. All in all, we can say that she has adapted quite well to her new life by herself.

"Superlative" accommodation
Publish a comment with a superlative adjective about this photo (about the tree-house, the landscape, etc). Eg: this is the most beautiful house in the world.
Practise the present perfect
Watch this video to practise the present perfect. After the introduction, you'll see a series of situations. After each situation, the narrator will ask you what the people have done. ANSWER THE QUESTION! After a few seconds they'll give you the right answer. They speak very slowly, because it's a video for beginners. But remember: in real life, we nearly always contract "have/has" in affirmative sentences. So, at least, the second time you watch it, try to do it that way.
