  1. Today, we are talking about housemates.0:35
  2. Ah, housemates.0:39
  3. The people that you share a house who aren't your family.0:41
  4. Maybe they're your friends or even strangers who just need somewhere to live.0:46
  5. Exactly.0:52
  6. And it's quite common in the UK to live with housemates when you're younger.0:53
  7. Have you ever lived with housemates?1:00
  8. Yes, of course.1:03
  9. I had house or flatmates when I was a student and then after I was a student in my first jobs and before I got married.1:04
  10. That's exactly the same as me.1:16
  11. So when I went to university, I moved in with five people and we all had a separate room and a separate bathroom.1:18
  12. But yeah, they were my flatmates for my first year of university.1:29
  13. But in my second year, then I moved into a house and we all shared a bathroom and they were my housemates because we were in a house.1:33
  14. Did you enjoy having housemates?1:43
  15. I think it really depends on the people that you live with.1:47
  16. I have had some bad housemates, bad because they weren't tidy, didn't clean.1:52
  17. There were dishes in the kitchen that were dirty and not cleaned for a long time.2:01
  18. But I've also had some really nice housemates as well.2:07
  19. Do you enjoy living with housemates or did you enjoy living with housemates?2:12
  20. I think, as you said, it really depends on the person.2:18
  21. So you mentioned people being messy and that kind of thing.2:23
  22. Also noisy people are difficult.2:28
  23. But some of my best friends now have been my housemates in the past.2:32
  24. So I think you can really get to know people very well and you can also meet some people who you never want to see again in your life.2:39
  25. That's true.2:51
  26. So Neil, what do you think is the best kind of personality, the best kind of person to live with?2:52
  27. They have to be easygoing.3:01
  28. What does that mean?3:04
  29. Somebody who is easygoing is relaxed and they don't get too upset or angry over little things.3:05
  30. And they're quite easy to live with and there's the clue, easygoing.3:14
  31. I think something else important about living with other people or renting somewhere, so paying monthly, is having a good landlord.3:22
  32. Very important.3:34
  33. So who is a landlord?3:36
  34. What is a landlord?3:37
  35. So the landlord is or landlady is the person that owns the house or flat that you're in and you pay them rent.3:38
  36. So you pay them a monthly amount but you might live there for a year or two years or three years but you don't own the place.3:48
  37. It's the landlord that owns the place.3:58
  38. Yeah and a good landlord can make a big difference.4:00
  39. Neil, are you easy to live with?4:04
  40. Should we be flatmates?4:07
  41. I don't know but I think I have made some good friends when I've been a housemate so they think that I was a good housemate.4:10
  42. Okay.4:23
  43. How about you?4:24
  44. Yeah, I think I'm easy to live with but I like to sing a lot so maybe people would tell me to be quiet.4:26
  45. Although no one's ever told me to be quiet but maybe they wanted me to and just didn't say.4:34
  46. Let's recap the vocabulary we've heard in this podcast starting with housemate.4:45
  47. A housemate is someone you live with who probably isn't part of your family.4:52
  48. We also hear flatmate.4:59
  49. And we had easygoing which means relaxed and not easily upset.5:01
  50. Flatmates or housemates often rent a property and that means they don't own it, they pay money to the person who does own it.5:07
  51. And the person who owns the house or flat is the landlord.5:17
  52. That's who you pay every month and they own the property.5:22
  53. That's it for this episode of Real Easy English.5:26
  54. To test what you've learnt there's a worksheet on our website bbclernaminglish .com.5:30
  55. And we'll be back next week with another Easy English conversation.5:36
  56. Bye for now.5:40
  57. Bye.5:41
