Track 33

Listening 1

1

I like sharing a room with Greg. He’s very quiet and always asks me if it’s okay for him to listen to the radio or watch TV He likes to keep the room nice and clean, just like I do. He helps me a lot with homework, too.

He’s really smart and is always happy to check over my assignments.

Laura loves baking. She’s always making things and giving them to her friends. Cakes, pies. bread… she bakes everything.

No wonder I’m putting on weight. She loves calling people on the phone, and she spends hours talking to them. She really should spend more time on her schoolwork. though.

I have a great roommate.

She’s neat and she makes me laugh a lot. She’s got a wonderful sense of humor. She’s really smart, too. She studies all the time. I sometimes wish she’d take more time off to make friends because she hardly knows anyone. She doesn’t seem to feel comfortable when she’s around people.

Tom’s awful as a roommate. He always says he’s going to do something, like pay the electric bill, but then he doesn’t do it. He never does much to keep the place clean, either. He just throws things on the floor and expects me to put them away. He doesn’t care that I have to live in his mess.

It drives me crazy.

Bob and I get along pretty well. He keeps the place really clean and neat. The only thing is, he loves to party. He’s always inviting friends over, and they sit around and talk really loudly until it’s very late.

It makes it really hard for me to study. I’ve asked him not to do it when I’m studying, but he still does. I guess it doesn’t bother him because he never studies.

Ann is difficult to live with because she has very strong opinions. She always has to be right about things.

And she just sits around all day watching TV. She never does anything active. The worst thing is she loses her temper very quickly. I think need to find a new roommate.
