Hi Maria,
How are you? I'm fine, but l've got a new flatmate, Cristina, and she's a real problem. She never talks to me. When she comes home in the evening, I usually ask her about her day. She always says, 'Fine!' and then she usually watches TV or she sometimes goes to her room to sleep! She hardly ever wants to chat.
What can I do?
Sandy
Hi Zsuzsa,
How are you? I'm fine, but my new flatmate, Sandy, is a real problem. She never stops talking. In the evening after classes l'm often tired. I usually want to relax in front of the TV for half an hour or I sometimes have a short rest. She always wants to talk about her day. I hardly ever have the energy to listen.
That's my news. Email me soon!
Cristina
