Singapore expats live together – level 1
21-09-2021 07:00
An expat is someone who lives in another country than his own. Many expats live in Singapore. They rent apartments. Their situation changes during the coronavirus.
Expats worry about work. They do not have enough money to live. They start to live together.
They rent a room. They share a kitchen. This is called co-living. People rent a room for only a few months. It is better than renting an apartment.
Now co-living is becoming more popular in Singapore. It is interesting that co-living starts during the coronavirus. The government has a good plan on how to stop the coronavirus. People are not afraid to live together.
Difficult words: rent (to pay somebody to live in their apartment or house), share (when many people use one thing), popular (something that many people like).
