There's one drawback !!!
| There's one drawback !!! | |
| Larry | Hey, Rob! I just got a call from a friend. She wants to rent out her apartment. |
| Rob | Are you serious? Tell me about it. |
| Larry | It's dirt-cheap. It's only $8,000 a month, water and electricity excluded. |
| Rob | Fantastic! When can I see it? |
| Larry | Tonight if you want. But, there's one drawback. |
| Rob | What is it? |
| Larry | It's on the sixth floor. |
| Rob | And then? |
| Larry | Her building doesn't have an elevator. |
| Rob | That's OK. I can just cancel my gym membership. Who needs a gym when I can run up and down the stairs? |
| Explanation : |
| Drawback - a disadvantage or the negative part of a situation |
| Example : One of the drawbacks of living with someone is having to share a bathroom. |
