6. Houses and Apartments 房子与公寓 (3)
Even if I stay away from the upscale neighborhoods (areas where rich people live), I’d still have to take out a mortgage (borrow money from the bank, in order to buy a house) and it’ll take me more than 30 years to pay it off. 即使我远离高档社区/富人区（富人居住的地区），我仍然需要申请房贷（从银行借钱，为了买房子），这将需要我30多年来还清。
But still, I’m gonna start saving up for a down payment (an initial payment on a big purchase). Someday, when I do move into a new place, I’ll be sure to throw a housewarming party (a party to celebrate living in a new house/apartment). 即使是这样，我还是要开始攒钱付首付（大件商品的首期付款）。有一天，当我真的搬到一个新房子，我一定会开一个暖房派对（庆祝搬进新房子/公寓的聚会）。

7.Eating 吃 (1)
My mother radically changed her eating habits a few years ago. In the past, she ate a lot of junk food (food that is not nutritious/healthy) and was overweight. Sometimes she would try to go on a diet (eat less food and healthier food), but it would never last. But now she understands how unhealthy processed foods are – they’re full of food additives (chemicals added to food) that contribute to weight gain and heart problems. 我母亲几年前彻底改变了她的饮食习惯。在过去，她吃了很多垃圾食品（没有营养/健康的食物），然后肥胖超重。有时候她会努力控制饮食（吃更少的食物和更健康的食物），但它不会持久。但现在她明白了加工食品是多么不健康——它们充满了食品添加剂（添加到食物中的化学物质），会导致体重增加和心脏问题
知识点：
