The time has come for you to make that all-important decision about where you’re going to live. So far,
you’ve most likely been with your parents, living in the house or flat that you called home while you were
growing up. (1) ___ However, once you start adult life, it is time to make a start on your own. But what
options are there, and what is important for you at this stage of your life? Everyone has a different way of
answering that question, so it is really up to you to make the decision.
The ideal option is to get your own place, so that you can finally have a bit of independence. The trouble with
that is you might not be able to afford the costs of paying the rent plus all the bills. Choosing the smallest
place possible, for example a studio flat, can help to limit the expense, but you might end up in an area of
town that isn’t the most attractive. (2) ___ Mum and Dad are likely to have been living where they are for a
number of years. As a result, a lot of the improvement work has already been done and the living conditions
are quite good.
The other option is to share a flat, either with someone you know or with a flatmate you find online. There are
many sites that enable you to link up with a like-minded person to share with. You don’t necessarily need to
have a lot in common with them, although it does help. (3) ___ A definite advantage is that splitting the cost
of renting a place opens up a wider range of accommodation that is within your financial reach. (4) ___ Being
able to keep a little distance between you and your flatmate(s) can be useful if you’re planning on sharing
long term.
The last option can be to rent a room from the owner of a house or flat. This means that they would be living
with you, which many people are not too keen on. (5) ___ If that is something you were actually trying to get
away from, this option is definitely not for you. However, if it doesn’t bother you, then the benefits are not
having to deal with a landlord, and not having to deal with paying bills. So, is it time to make that big leap
and strike out on your own?

A. This could mean living in a nicer district, or having a bit of extra space in the flat itself.
B. In a way, it could feel just like living with your parents again.
C. The standard of many flats might also be well below what you are used to.
D. This type of behaviour might be difficult for you to accept.
