Speaking exercise

Original –

Before I came here I can still see the dirty dishes in the place I can wash them. It’s been four days. And this afternoon she went home to spend weekends with her family. She leave me with her dirty dishes and her garbage. That really makes me angry, the dishes for four days and the garbage for a whole week. She only charge the place where she sleep. And the republic place she never wash them. After I live with her I always help her do her laundry, like wash her dirty dishes and threw the garbage, it’s like almost one year. And I told here these things before, she didn’t change she still do the same thing, so I don’t know why my anger is big than before. I can’t stand her today. And I don’t know how to deal with that. If I call the ayi she will disagree with this and she can’t spare the money.

She left me with her dirty dishes and her garbage. That really made me angry, leaving dishes for four days and garbage for a whole week. She only takes care of her room. And she almost never takes care of the public space. I always help her wash her dirty dishes and throw out the garbage, it’s been almost one year. Even though I discussed this with her before, she hasn’t changed. She still does the same things, so I don’t know why my anger is big than before. I can’t stand her today. And I don’t know how to deal with that. And I don’t know how to deal with that. If I call the ayi she will disagree with this and she can’t spare the money.
