Jamie:
So, Tracy, how’s your new flat?
Tracy:
Great! I have
more room than in my old flat and it’s such a good
location. I
hardly ever take the
bus
any more
- only to get to work.
Jamie:
Oh, you’re so lucky. I’m so far away from
everything. I’m fed up of taking the underground!
Tracy:
Sure, but at least you live on a quiet street
with a nice view. My new neighborhood is very
busy and a bit noisy.
Jamie:
Don’t worry;
after a while you won’t even notice it.
Tracy:
I suppose so. That happened after I first
moved into my old flat. My neighbour’s dog used to bark all night long. The
first few nights I didn’t sleep a wink, then a friend who came to stay a few
weeks later had the same problem
and I realised
I didn’t even hear the dog any more!
Jamie:
Have you met any of your neighbours yet?
Tracy:
A few. There is this strange lady in the flat
below mine who opens her door and stares at me every time I walk past!
Jamie:
That’s weird.
Maybe you should introduce yourself. You know, you so both feel more
comfortable. Have you met anyone
else?
Tracy:
Well, there is this friendly couple across the
hall from me that helped me to move some of my things in. Oh, and the landlady
is very kind and helpful. She told me where to stop and about other places
nearby. She seems to know all about the area.
Jamie:
That’s nice
. Good neighbours can really help make a place feel like home.
Tracy:
I
couldn’t agree more! How about coming over for coffee tomorrow?
Jamie:
I’d love to; I can’t wait to see your new
flat!
