Mark

Mark

Hey, Jenny. How’s your new apartment?
Better than living in the dorm, I bet.

Jenny No. That’s the problem. She’s such a nice roommate and a good friend, but
I don’t want to hurt her feelings. Do you remember what happened last year with my old roommate Laura?
One time I asked her if she could go outside to talk on the phone, and she stopped talking to me all semester!

Jenny Oh, hi, Mark. Yeah, it is. Most of the time.
Mark

What? What do you mean? You have a great apartment.

Jenny Yeah….
Mark

Who’s your roommate?

Jenny Shelly Cole. You know, secondyear biology student, from L.A.
Mark

Mark

Oh, yeah. I know her. How’s it going?

Jenny Oh, she’s great. We like the same food, she likes to clean the house…
Mark

Oh, yeah. But Shelly’s a different person. I think you should be honest with her. I mean, if she’s really a good friend, she’ll understand.

Jenny You think so?

That sounds nice.

Mark

Jenny Yeah. But there is one little problem. She likes to listen to music… while she’s studying.
Mark

Does Shelly know how you feel?

Yeah, sure. And if you don’t tell her, you’re always going to feel bad. And then someday you won’t be friends anymore.

Jenny I guess you’re right. Thanks, Mark.

Oh.

Mark

Jenny Yeah. I just can’t do that. I have to study in a quiet place. And

    My 1st Year University Experience

    Unlike my friends who live with their close friend or relatives, I share my room with a stranger; she is a second year student from the law faculty of Vietnam national university. She is not too tall and a little chubby with shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. The first day we met, we introduced ourselves to each other and talked about our family, hometown and hobbies.Through the conversation, I found out that not only we had very different appearance but we also had contrast in character. She seems to be a daydreamer while I’m practical. We even don’t have any hobbies in common, while I like Hollywood thriller or comedy movies, she only likes to watch teenagers Taiwan drama, while American punk rock is my indulgence, she is only interested in Vietnamese pop music. We are totally different from each other, so in daily lives, we don’t talk much to each other, not that I’m or she is reseverd, we just don’t have anything to say. But that’s not the problems; the only disaster only comes when the night falls down. Her manner of sleeping is really irritating. She turns herself a lot and she often throw her arms and legs on me and there’s one time when she put her arms on my neck making me choke up, it’s terrible! And one time, I was kiched out of the bed fell on the floor.What ‘s worse? She snores so loudly that I can’t sleep, I’m really tired the next morning…

    Nowadays, friendship usually appears to be good, but a kinship is always the best bond. A friendship can be a great connection in life, but it takes time to adapt to it and cultivate a good relationship.

    Incident Which Changed My Life

    I used to have a friend of mine a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, she has moved to another state and we do not see each other often nowadays. Christine, – let me call her that way in the present narrative, – has always been a really nice person. She has always been responsive, sincere, smart and talented; she has also always been understanding, carrying and supportive. She used to be different from many other girls of same age. She used to have few friends, never being too much concerned about finding the new ones. Christine felt perfectly fine both when being in a company and when being alone. It was not because she was closed or unsociable; it was more because she had a really nice family and loved to spend time with her relatives.…
