    Since my elementary school,i always lived in school with so many lovely roommates.I spent my wonderfui young time with those who sincere treated with each others so that we all made quantities of friends.Although there is no doubt that problems arise between friends,they can be solved easily.We all ought to cherish the friendship built up from roommates.
    It reminds me of one of my friend who has similar lot to Tiffany after read the story of Enjoy English.Both of them have no choics for their story.However,as far as i'm concerned,i hold the view that they are fortunate in the meantime.I think no matter why her real parents deserted she ,she should go to meet her real parents,and of course,she can't leave her adoptive parents.Maybe they can live together happily and peacefully.

    I was live in school when I was in senior high school,but it not a long time.It's the first time for me to live with classmates for nearly 4 years,I feel fresh and happy.My roomates are very lovely and kind person.Though we come from different parts of China,we get on well with each other.And I think it's good for us to live with others,because it can help us think much more about others before we do things and improve our quality.

     Yeah,as the article mentioned,It exists many problems between roommates. Due to different life habits.And we know that,there is actually no absolute justice or equality in the world.We can not consider the interests of all roommates. So we should learn to tolerate other people,learn to share with others.And don't be more care about others'shortcomings.Then we will build a harmonious bedroom atmosphere.
     As far as I am concerned,Tiffany should do what she want to do, frist of all,she should discuss with her adoptive parents about meeting her biological parents.then visit biological parents after getting permission.And ask them why them abandoned child.Maybe after knowing the reasons, Tiffany could try to forgive her biological parents.Tiffany will live with her adoptive parents because they are so nice and they raised her up as their own daughter. Nothing can change their feelings for more than ten years ！

      I think you are right in that Tiffany should acknowledge her adoptive parents in all her decisions regarding her contact with her biological parents. They probably loved her as much as one would expect one's real (biological) parents would love their child. So, they must always have first priority over her as they brought her up. But is it really necessary to meet the biological parents ..? We'll hear later today what your classmates think about that.

      I agree that having roommates is essential for students who have been so used to living with their families, Liu Weifang (especially coming from so far away, like you). Those roommates then become very much like family and can stand with you through all circumstances, the good and the bad.

      Katrina, you mustn't forget your roommate, Wang Xiaoxu, when you think about your roommates! Now you have two roommates who study English with you; you are so fortunate! But I agree with you, after four years it must be very difficult to say goodbye ... Remember, however, friendships can last forever and don't have to end there!

      Do you really think there can be a valid reason for abandoning one's child, Katrina? Is poverty, or sickness, or unemployment, or whatever reason really valid? We'll hear what your class thinks about this .. ;-)

      Yes, roommates have taken the place of family if one has been living with them for so long, Zhang Ke. Family would of course always remain important, but so are the roommates too. I think it is a good thing that students have roommates during their years of study, in particular at university.

      Wow Men Yaqiong, so by the time you've finished your studies at university, you would have lived the same number of years with roommates as you lived with your family, i.e. 12 years?! No wonder you like your roommates so much and have adapted well living and sharing your life with them!

      I agree that Tiffany was lucky in the sense that she was adopted as not many orphaned or abandoned children get adopted (because people are mostly selfish and want only their own children). But do you really think any reason for abandoning one's child would be a valid reason ..?

      That is true, Xu Yang, that living with roommates for so long helps one to get on with other people. One doesn't really have a choice as you have to live with those roommates for a few years and it is better for oneself and for them to have good relationships. Yes, maybe her parents gave her life, but then she wasn't good enough any longer at the age of two ... Let's hear what your classmates say about this ..
