LIVING IN A FLAT

Is it good to live in a flat?

Oh, no! I have great problems with my neighbors.

What problems?

The major problem is that it’s impossible to sleep well here. In the flat above, Mary’s husband speaks loud and shouts almost every night. In the flat bellow, John’s wife plays the piano and sings loud.

In the flat on the right, the child’s dog barks all night. In the flat on the left, Betty’s tape-recorder is always too loud.
