F2F Class Notes 5th January (Celeste)***

Listen to the recording of the story below. Next Class: Upgrade the vocabulary. 

Review

There are many massage spas/salons in Thailand.

Let’s out to have dinner together but I insist we go Dutch.

The pop stars attended an after-party after the concert/show/movie.

The worker broke his company policy so he got canned.

Joey invited Chandler to attend another actor’s party together, which was held at his apartment. The actor would move to another place and suggested Joey rent the apartment. Joey said he would think it over.

At that time Joey acted in a famous TV as an important part and had got enough money to afford the apartment, furthermore, he never lived alone. So he decided to have a try, that made Chandler sad. Joey designed the apartment by himself and redecorated deluxe. Later he moved and invited his friends to visit his new house, but Chandler didn’t go there because he couldn’t accept the truth that Joey had moved out. He had been already used to live together with Joey and watch same TV shows. Joey thought he could adapt to the new house but to the contrary he felt the room was bare and empty.

Chandler and Joey missed each other but both of them were shy to admit it. Some days later Chandler found a new roommate, Eddie. One day morning, Joey came back to Chandler’s apartment and found Chandler got along well with his new roommate, they made breakfast together and chatted happily. Joey was jealous and argued about it with Chandler like a couple. How funny!
