Can I stay at your place
Ellen: Karen Hi, this is Ellen.
Karen: Oh, hi, Ellen. How are you doing
Ellen: Well, pretty bad. You won"t believe what happened. The landlord is going to raise my rent another three hundred dollars a month! I can"t afford that!
Karen: Oh, no, that"s terrible! What are you going to do
Ellen: I"ve to move to a new apartment. But it"s going to take me a long time to find another place. Where am I going to go All the apartments in this city are so expensive these days.
Karen: That"s for sure. Boy, soon this city is going to be only for rich people. It"s a bad situation. I really feel sorry for you. Ellen. I wish I would help you.
Ellen: Well, as a matter of fact, Karen, I am going to ask you for a favor.
Karen: What is it
Ellen: Well...uh...do you think ...maybe I could stay at your place for a while Just until I find another apartment ...and straighten things out
Karen: Well, uh, Ellen, you know I"d love to say yes, but I "m going to be very honest with you. I don"t think it will work out if you stay here. I"m going to be really busy with school and work in the next few Weeks and I"m going to need my privacy(清静). I"m sorry, Ellen, but I"m going to have to say no.
Ellen: Well, Karen, I"m going to be very honest with you, too , I don"t think you"re a very good friend. You don" t care about anybody but yourself! I"m your best friend and you"re not even going to help me. I guess our friendship doesn"t matter to you.
Karen: Oh, Ellen, of course our friendship matters to me ! But I think it will be bad for our friendship if you stay at my place. If we"re together all time, we won"t get along.
Ellen: It"s bad enough I"m going to lose my apartment. I guess I"m going to lose my best friend, too. With friends like you, I don"t need enemies. I"m going to hang up the phone!
Karen: Please don"t hang up. Ellen, listen to me.
Ellen: I"m not going to listen to you if you"re not going to act like a friend . Are you going to help me or not
