ESL 226: Happy and Unhappy Renters


Download


Samantha, like many renters, is tired of renting. One reason is that her annual rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. "New neighbors always seem to be more inconsiderate than the ones who moved out," she said. "My first neighbor was a door-slammer; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I'd get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the guy was only playing two hours a day!"

There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy renters. "I've been lucky my whole life," said Howard, a middle-aged man. "My neighbors couldn't have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a chef. He'd bring me the best leftovers in the world. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a mechanic who did my tune-ups and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go birding every weekend with our binoculars."

Different persons have different attitudes. Samantha saw the saxophone player as irritating, yet Howard saw the piano player as delightful. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would complain that their roof is the wrong color.

Người thuê nhà hạnh phúc và không hạnh phúc

Samantha, như nhiều người thuê nhà khác, một mỏi vì thuê nhà. Một lý do là giá nhà thuê hàng năm tăng như kim đồng hồ. Mỗi năm chủ nhà tăng năm phần trăm. Lý do nữa là hàng xóm. "Hàng xóm mới dường như ít lưu tâm hơn người đã dời đi," cô nói. "Hàng xóm đầu tiên của tôi là một người hay sập cửa; tôi luôn biết khi nào ông ta về nhà hay rời nhà. Sau khi ông ta dọn đi, một tay chơi kèn saxophone dọn vào. Một tay saxophone! Anh ta tập dượt hai giờ mỗi ngày. Thứ bảy bạn anh ta đến và tôi phải nghe cả băng nhạc. Tôi gọi cảnh sát, nhưng họ nói chơi saxophone được phéo trong c8n hộ đến bốn tiếng mỗi ngày, vì saxophone là một nghề. Họ nói tôi may mắn vì anh ta chỉ chơi hai giờ một ngày!"

Có nhiều người thuê nhà không hạnh phúc, nhưng cũng có người thuê nhà hạnh phúc. "Tôi đã may mắn cả đời," Howard nói, một người đàn ông trung niên. "Hàng xóm của tôi không thể tốt hơn tôi tự chọn nữa. Một người là đầu bếp. Ông ta mang cho tôi những thức ăn còn lại ngon nhất trên thế giới. Người nữa là nghệ sĩ đàn piano. Cô chơi đàn tuyệt vời. Người khác là thợ cơ khí sửa máy giúp tôi và thay dầu xe tôi. Hàng xóm cuối cùng của tôi thích chim; chúng tôi đi ngắm chim mỗi cuối tuần bằng ống nhòm."

Mỗi người khác nhau có thái độ khác nhau. Samantha thấy người chơi kèn saxophone thật dị ứng, còn Hward thì lại thấy người chơi đàn piano tuyệt với. Hàng triệu người hạnh phúc chỉ cần có mái nhà trên đầu. Còn có hàng triệu người muốn than phiền mái nhà của họ sai màu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Samantha, giống như nhiều người thuê nhà, đã phát chán với tiền thuê. Một lý do là tiền thuê hàng năm của cô cứ tăng lên đều đặn và đúng giờ như một cái đồng hồ. Mỗi năm chủ nhà của cô lại lên giá thuê 5%. Một lý do khác nữa là những người hàng xóm của cô. "Những người láng giềng mới đến dường như thiếu ý tứ hơn những người đã dọn đi," cô nói. "Người hàng xóm đầu tiên của tôi là người hay đóng sầm cửa lại; tôi luôn luôn biết được khi nào anh ta về tới nhà hay sắp đi khỏi. Sau khi anh ta chuyển đi, một người chơi kèn sắc-xô chuyển đến. Một người chơi kèn sắc-xô cơ đấy! Anh ta tập luyện hai giờ một ngày. Vào Thứ bảy bạn anh ta ghé qua chơi và tôi sẽ phải nghe cả một ban nhạc(biểu diễn). Tôi gọi cảnh sát, nhưng họ bảo được phép chơi kèn sắc-xô trong chung cư đến bốn giờ trong một ngày, vì chơi kèn sắc-xô liên quan đến việc làm. Họ bảo tôi thật may mắn khi anh chàng ấy chỉ chơi có hai tiếng một ngày thôi!"

Có nhiều người thuê nhà bất hạnh, nhưng cũng có nhiều người thuê nhà hạnh phúc. "Cuộc đời tôi thật may mắn," Howard, một người đàn ông trung niên cho biết. "nếu tự mình lựa chọn láng giềng cho mình, tôi không thể có được bất kỳ người nào tử tế hơn như thế. Một người hàng xóm của tôi là bếp trưởng. Anh ấy mang về cho tôi những thức ăn thừa ngon nhất thế giới. Một người láng giềng khác là nghệ sỹ dương cầm. Cô ấy đàn những bản nhạc tuyệt vời nhất. Một người hàng xóm khác là thợ máy là người điều chỉnh máy và thay nhớt chiếc xe của tôi. Một người láng giềng mới nhất của tôi là một người nuôi chim cảnh; mỗi cuối tuần chúng tôi vào rừng ngắm chim với cặp ống dòm của mình."

Những con người khác nhau có những quan điểm khác nhau. Samantha phát cáu khi nhìn thấy người chơi kèn sắc-xô, tuy nhiên Howard lại thấy người chơi kèn sắc-xô thú vị. Hàng triệu người sẽ thấy hạnh phúc khi chỉ có một mái nhà để nương náu. Tuy nhiên có hàng triệu người sẽ thấy bực mình khi thấy mái nhà của họ có màu không như ý.

ESL đăng ký: Bạn không cần phải đăng ký gì cả. Chỉ việc nhẩy vào bài ESL 1 học và làm bài tập. Tiếp tục những bài kế tiếp càng nhanh càng tốt. Mình sẽ 888 và thỉnh thoảng cùng nhau nhắc nhở cho vui hén. Chứ thật ra việc học là việc của tự bản thân mình. Mình giỏi thì mình được nhờ hén.
