Rent（出租）a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first ￡4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger ? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around ￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

1. Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?

A. On Letpark.　　 　　 B. On Roomspare.

C. On Grashpadder.　　 D. On Roommateeasy.

2.If you want to use energy for free, you have to_____.

A. sign an agreement with the government

B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment

C. sell the roof to some energy companies

D. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years

3.For whom the text most probably written?

A. Lodgers.　 　　　 B. Advertisers.
