自习吗？要付钱的那种 Paid study rooms become popular in China

Paid study rooms(自习室 zìxí shì) have recently become popular among the youth(年轻人 niánqīng rén) in many Chinese cities. These rooms act as a space for studying(学习 xuéxí) and reading(阅读 yuèdú) for many people, especially graduates who long to go to college. A study room usually comprises a studying area(学习区 xuéxí qū) and a resting area(休息区 xiūxí qū). The former(前者 qiánzhě) is usually partitioned as cabins with tables(桌子 zhuōzi), chairs(椅子 yǐzi) and lamps(灯 dēng), while the later(后者 hòu zhě) allows people to rest, have a chat or eat.

On average, it costs 9-10 yuan to rent(租用 zūyòng) a small cabin for an hour. People can also choose from various packages(套餐 tàocān), such as daily, weekly or monthly passes, depending on their requirements(需求 xūqiú).
