him he could move in.
Living with Mike was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in
common and quickly became close friends. We always had really good
discussions about everything that was important to us at th� time: politics, the
environment, literature and other less important things like cooking. We also
liked the same music and that's important when you're sharing a house. We fell
� out a couple of times about the housework. Mike thinks I'm untidy but I think
life's too short to worry about things like that.
When we graduated three yea�s ago, we went out separate ways and since
then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown and got a
job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. Mike thinks I'm crazy because
money is very important to him now, but he doesn't have time to spend with his
family and his friends. I don't see.him very often. When he comes down for the
weekend we have a laugh, but our lifestyles are so different that we don't have
very much to talk about.
I. Why did the writer put an advertisement in the newspaper?

2. What happened when the writer and Mike first met each other?

3. How was the relationship between the writer and Mik� when they shared a house?
