3/19 Talk about the differences between living in a house and an apartment.

Houses and apartments both have pros and cons in different areas.
* pros and cons: 장단점, 일장일단
ex> There are pros and cons to everything, so it's important to think it through.

It all comes down to privacy or security.
* come down to: ~으로 귀결되다, 압축되다.
ex> The decision all comes down to having more money or having more time.

You need to take care of all the maintenance and security responsibilities.
ex> I asked my sister to take care of my children for the afternoon.

You'll have a security guard around the clock who keeps an eye out for shady people or questionable activities.
* shady: 미심쩍은, 수상한
* around the clock: 상시적으로, 멈추지 않고
* keep an eye out for: ~을 감시하다.

The downside is that you must always be respectful towards the other residents.

You don't want to be too noisy or stomp around your home as this can be disruptive.
* stump: 쿵쾅거리며 걷다.
* disruptive: 방해가 되는, 파괴적인
ex> The toddler stomped around the house in her daddy's shoes.

@ Stop sweeping problems under the rug.  문제를 회피하려고 하지 마.
