[托福参看范文]
Topic: 99
I d rather have the university assign a roommate to share a room with me. As far as I m concerned, this is part of the university experience. Students should meet new people and be open to new experiences. I like leaving this up to chance.
Actually, even though the university will choose, it s not totally a matter of chance. We all filled out information sheets. The school knows what we re majoring in, what our interests are, and our study habits and our goals. I think they re probably very good at matching roommates using this information. They ve had a lot of practice. Besides, if a mistake is made, I can change my room assignment next semester.
If I did want to choose my own roommate, I d first pick some candidates from the list supplied by the university. Then I d write to them and they d write back. Through our letters, we d find out if we shared common interests, such as sports or movies. More importantly, we d find out if we liked doing the same things in our free time. Because of my investigation, I d probably get someone compatible with me. It s a lot of work to go through, though. Besides, the process of finding similar interests isn t all that different from what the university does.
Trying to predict whom I m going to get along with is not a science. I might choose someone who sounds just like me and still find that the two of us just don t get along as roommates. Besides, I think it would be boring to room with somebody who s just the same as me. I d rather be with someone who has different interests and likes to do different things. Maybe I d even get a roommate from another culture. After all, one of the reasons I m going to the university is to be exposed to a lot of new experiences. So, I d rather have the university choose my roommate for me.
