I am impressed by “Seinfeld” TV show which describes a man’s daily life. This man Jerry has an ex-girl friend Elaine who has been his friend now, an old friend Georoge and a neighbor Kramer.
I love all of them. Jerry who lives for hosting a talk show is funny and smart. In the beginning and end of each episod, he hosts his talk show and some of jokes are really hilarious. Each joke material comes out from his life. In the middle of each episod, it is his story that connects with those jokes. Jerry is too kind to be good at handling break-up stuff. His childhood friend always called him and babbled in the phone which annoyed Jerry. Jerry made up reasons for refusing to date with him. One day, Jerry felt overwhelmed to lie and it was last straw that Jerry told him the truth. I have same problem as Jerry. Sometimes, I dont know how to refuse others but recept unwillingly.
Elaine is a bright and considerate girl. She wanted to move in Jerry’s apartment building. Jerry said ok first, then he regretted. Because it would be inconvience that Elaine may visit(visit is too formal, I cant figure out another informal word) his apartment everyday. At last, Elaine gained an insight into( or read his mind?) Jerry and gave up moving to a bigger appartment.

Elaine is a bright and considerate girl who wanted to move into Jerry’s apartment building. Jerry said ok at first, then he regretted it. Because it would be inconvenient that Elaine may drop in everyday. At last, Elaine figured it out for herself and gave up on moving.
