This2 situation2 is2 very2 different2 from2 Rebecca’s2 financial2 condition.2 She2 said2that2the2flat2is2such2a2hideous2expensive2place.2Financially,2Rebecca2does2not2
have2enough2salary2to2pay2the2rent.2Then,2she2has2to2afford2some2money2to2rent2the2 flat2with2Suze.2Another2fact2about2Rebecca’s2flat2is2that2the2Flat2in2Fulham2is2also2
known2as2a2trendy-flat.2It2is2described2in2the2novel2that2there2is2something2special2 with2the2people2who2live2in2the2Flat.2It2can2be2the2reason2why2those2people2have2
high2standard2of2lifestyle.2An2article2said2that2the2flat2is2surrounded2by2girls2who2 live2on2trust2funds.2Thus,2many2people2who2live2around2Rebecca2also2have2a2high2
quality2of2life.222 “Good2weekend,2Rebecca?”2says2Philip.2
“Fine,2thanks,”2I2say,2glancing2up2from2the2brochures2as2though2surprised2to2 be2interrupted2while2I’m2at2work.2
“I2was2round2your2neck2of2the2woods2on2Saturday,”2he2says.2“The2Fulham2 Road.2Trendy2Fulham.”2
“Right,”2I2say2absently.2 “It’s2the2place2to2be,2these2days,2isn’t2it?2My2wife2was2reading2an2articles2
about2it.2Full2of2It-girls,2all2living2on2trust2funds.”2 “I2suppose2so,”2I2say2vaguely.2

2 Philip2as2her2boss2in2the2office2sees2that2Rebecca2is2also2part2of2the2It-girl2in2
the2Fulham2road.2Known2as2a2trendy2Fulham2makes2Rebecca2become2known2as2 the2pop-girl2with2a2hilarious2life.2This2is2called2as2the2place2that2someone2lives2will2
be2 described2 as2 someone2 lifestyle’s2 background.2 The2 fact2 that2 Rebecca2 loves2 shopping2and2buying2something2branded2sometimes2becomes2the2reason2why2she2

In2 the2 conversation2 above,2 Rebecca2 does2 not2 look2 interested2 in2 Philip’s2 question.2 She2 realizes2 that2 Philip’s2 statement2 is2not2 really2 true2 for2 her.2 She2 just2
answers2 vaguely2 when2 Philip2 mentions2 about2 the2 trust2 fund2 because2 in2 fact,2 Rebecca2has2no2that2thing2from2her2parents.2However,2in2order2to2pay2the2rent,2she2
usually2pays2it2together2with2Suze.2In2this2situation,2the2problem2is2that2Rebecca2 wants2to2look2the2same2when2she2meets2her2neighbor.22

2. Human Relationship
Humans2are2social2beings.2As2a2social2beings,2they2need2some2relations2to2 live2 in2 a2 certain2 society2 because2 they2 cannot2 live2 alone.2 It2 is2 the2 reason2 why2
relation2 is2 always2 related2 to2 the2 society.2 Having2 a2 good2 relationship2 with2 the2 society2 will2 help2 someone2 to2 have2 a2 good2 life.2 It2 also2 has2 a2 big2 influence2 to2
someone’s2life.2In2the2society,2there2are2some2components2that2people2have2to2deal2 with,2such2as2friendship,2social2interaction,2job2environment,2and2the2peer2group.22
In2the2story,2Rebecca2has2a2good2 friendship2with2her2flat2mate,2Suze.2She2 feels2that2Suze2always2has2the2same2idea2as2her2in2terms2of2shopping.2They2never2
have2any2serious2problem2about2friendship.2Actually,2Suze2is2also2described2as2a2 shopaholic.2The2same2as2Rebecca,2she2also2has2a2glamorous2life.2It2is2seen2in2the2
way2 Suze2 appreciates2 anything2 that2 Rebecca2 buys.2 Suze2 usually2 knows2 the2 essential2points2inside2the2thing,2such2as2the2standard2of2the2brand,2the2quality,2etc.2
The2difference2is2that2Suze2still2gets2money2from2her2parents2every2month.2Suze’s2 parents2 have2 a2 good2 financial2 condition.2 It2 is2 the2 reason2 why2 she2 never2 gets2
financial2problem2in2her2life.2
As2a2best2friend,2Suze2usually2helps2Rebecca.2She2never2asks2Rebecca2for2 the2rent2payment2when2she2seems2having2no2money.2Suze2also2becomes2the2one2
who2 will2 be2 asked2 by2 Rebecca2 when2 she2 wants2 to2 buy2 something.2 Having2 the2 same2 idea2 for2 making2 some2 considerations2 in2 shopping2 makes2 both2 of2 them2
become2very2close2to2each2other.22 This2is2why2 I2love2sharing2a2flat2with2Suze.2Julia,2my2old2flat2mate,2
would2have2wrinkle2her2brow2and2said,2“Denny2and2who?”2or,2“That’s2a2lot2 of2 money2 for2 a2 scarf.”2 But2 Suze2 completely2 and2 utterly2 understand.2 If2
anything,2she2worse2than2me2Kinsella,22005:220.2 2
“Oh2no,”2says2Suze2assuredly.2“What2happens2is,2the2money’s2lent,2it’s2 returned2 with2 a2 thank-you2 letter,2 and2 that’s2 the2 end2 of2 the2 matter.2 This2
card”—she2waves2it2at2me—“this2is2something2extra.”2 This2is2the2way2I2love2sharing2a2flat2with2Suze.2She2knows2stuff2like2
this,2because2she2mixes2in2the2right2social2circles2Kinsella,22005:270.2 2
Rebecca2 feels2 very2 grateful2 that2 she2 has2 a2 friend2 like2 Suze.2 It2 is2 because2 Suze2is2very2different2from2Rebecca’s2flat2mate2in2the2past.2Besides,2Suze2also2has2
high-standard2of2lifestyle2just2the2same2as2Rebecca.2That2is2why2Rebecca2feels2so2 happy2 when2 there2 is2 someone2 who2 can2 give2 her2 any2 comment2 in2 choosing2
something,2such2as2the2style,2and2the2brand.2 Rebecca2works2as2a2financial2journalist2in2Successful Saving.2Having2a2job2
