ANGIELSKI - PHRASAL VERBS

Hi Sam, what’s up? You look pissed off. Oh, it’s Jake, he came across as such a nice guy, and madę out that he really liked me, but just now he told me to shut up and told me that he could do without my constant nagging. I doirt know if 1 can put up with his crazy mood swings any longer.

Weil, try to calm down, where werc you when this happened? Was he showing off to his mates?

No, actually we were alone. I think his mood swings might stem from a psychological problem. Sometimes he talks back to people in authority, Police and so on, and then he seems to look down on other people, sometimes even me. He even cuts in on other peoples conversations - thinklng that his opinion is oh-so important.

Then the next minutę he’s lovely again, leaping at evcry opportunity to see me, constantly paying me compliments,

I just have no idea what to make of his strange behaviour.

To sum up Sam, you have gotten your-self mixed up with a psycho freak!

No, no, no, it’s not that bad. It’s just that his wacky mood swings are putting me off. I guess he’s not living up to my expectations of him.

Oh Sam, you take after your Mum. Don’t feel so hard done by. You expect too much, you’11 always be disappointed, put it down to experience, he’s only a man after all!
