I’ve got a new neighbour. He moved in a few weeks ago. He’s got a job, because I see him leaving the house every morning and then coming home in the evening. He’s a builder, I think. He wears jeans and a T-shirt, so it can’t be a very good job. Sometimes he comes home late.
I’ve never spoken to him. When he sees me, he says hello, but I don’t answer back because nobody has introduced us. How can I speak to him?
His girlfriend is living with him. I know it’s not unusual these days, but I still don’t like it, boys and girls living together and not married. It’s such a small flat. I don’t know how two people can live there.
He had a party last week. Forty people! The noise! It went on until two in the morning. He said sorry the next day, but it was a bit late by then. I didn’t sleep all night.
Oh, there’s the door. I can see him now. He’s going out with his girlfriend. I wonder what they’re doing tonight. Having a good time. Going to the pub, probably.
