column in the daily newspaper. Ali the flats were

too expensive so in the eRd I decided to share a 4_

with another student. We had to leave a 5_to cover

6 _ bills. Unfortunately, there were no laundry

7 _and no 8_to the Internet in the fiat that we

rented. Also, the fiat was in poor 9_ and needed

redecorating. We put a lot of work to improve it. We covered

the bathroom walls with 10_and bought a second-

hand washing machinę. Luckily, the 11_worked, so

even though the summer was very hot, it was quite cool inside.

Now we're looking forward to having the 12_fixed so

that no strangers could get into the house.

My life has become a lot easier sińce I found my roommate.
