From Martin
To Noah
Subject Need your help ✩
Hi Noah,

You know that I’m looking for a room. I’ve just found this ad about a spare room to rent. I think I meet
the requirements and I’d like to apply but I need to hear your opinion first.

The ad has been placed by Lisa (21, a student). The flat has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and
a bathroom. Lisa occupies one of the bedrooms and wants to rent the other one. Here is what she requires
of a candidate for a flatmate:

a full-time course student.

I can’t cook and I often eat out, so I guess I can tick it off.

Fine with me. (She says she is shy, but to me she seems quite assertive.)

5 You should keep quiet at night. No binge-watching TV or making noise.

This actually sounds perfect to me.

Noah, please read her ad in full and tell me your thoughts.

Lisa says she’s easy-going. Well, is she???

Please advise me if I should apply.

Many thanks,

Martin
