Speaking exercise

I have a colleague, her name is MaLing. Yesterday, she told me she and her roommate had an argument. her roommate got up late yesterday and she didn’t notice her, and her roommate was angry.I think her roommate is weird. I think she got up late is not MaLing’s mistake. Maling told me her roommate is very young, so sometimes if they have argument, Maling will apologize first. I think it is the wrong way to keep the friendship. I think everyone is independent, if you don’t have mistake, I think you shouldn’t yield to others. If her roommate still angry about little things, I think Maling looks like boyfriend.

I think it is necessary for couples to live together before getting married, because two people live together maybe can find many different from each other. I think everyone has weakness, when I have a relationship with a boy, we don’t live together, maybe I can’t find his weakness. if His weakness I can’t stand, I think I need to find out earlier. I have a friend, I think she is perfect in my heart. She earns lots of money and beautiful. She got married and her husband borrowed money in the app, now they have many debts, more than 300,000 rmb. She is angry but she can’t say anything. She says they got married and they need to face the trouble together. When they had a relationship, she didn’t find out her husband’s weakness- like to borrow money. It is a pity for her.

Revised

I have a colleague whose name is MaLing. Yesterday, she told me that she had an argument with her roomate. her roommate got up late yesterday and she didn’t notice her, so her roommate was angry. I think her roommate is weird. I think it’s not Maling’s fault that she got up late. Maling told me that her roommate is very young, so sometimes if they have argument, Maling will apologize first. I think it is the wrong way to maintain the friendship. I think everyone is independent, if you are not at fault, I think you shouldn’t yield/compromise to others. If her roommate is always angry about little things, I think Maling seems like her boyfriend.

I think it is necessary for couples to live together before getting married, because you can find lots of differences when two people live together. I think everyone has some weaknesses/flaws, when I date, I don’t live together with my boyfriend, so I can’t find his weaknesses. I think I need to find out earlier if there are some things I can’t stand from him. I have a friend, I think she is perfect in my heart. She earns lots of money and is beautiful. She got married and her husband borrowed money on the app, now they have lots of debts, more than 300,000 rmb. She is angry but she can’t say anything. She says they got married and they need to face the difficulty together. When they had a relationship, she didn’t find out about his weakness- like to borrow money. What a pity.
