租房子
Renting a flat — Chinese reading, HSK 4
文章
大学毕业以后，我来到北京工作，第一件麻烦事就是找房子。公司附近的房租太贵了，我只好在离公司一个小时远的地方租了一个小房间。

After graduating I came to Beijing to work, and the first headache was finding somewhere to live. Rents near the office were too high, so I had to rent a small room an hour away.
房间虽然不大，但是很干净，房东阿姨也很热情。她知道我一个人在外地，常常给我送饺子，有时候还提醒我天冷了要多穿衣服。

The room isn't big, but it's clean, and the landlady is very warm. Knowing I'm on my own far from home, she often brings me dumplings and sometimes reminds me to wrap up when it gets cold.
每天在地铁上花两个小时确实很累，可是我已经习惯了，还利用这段时间读完了好几本书。对我来说，这儿已经像半个家了。

Spending two hours a day on the metro is certainly tiring, but I've got used to it, and I've used the time to finish quite a few books. For me this place already feels like half a home.
