1. A: How are you getting along with your new roommate?

B: Well, she's very different from the one I had last semester.

A: Really?

B: Yeah, my old roommate used to play her radio really late and get about 20 phone calls a night. I could never get my work done. Luckily, my new roommate is very quiet and hardly talks on the phone. I really like her.

2. A: Do you have the same roommate this semester?

B: No, I have a new one. unfortunately. I don't like him too much.

A: Oh?

B: Yeah, David, my roommate from last semester, was really neat and clean. My new one leaves his clothes all over the place. The place is always a mess.

3. A: Has your new roommate moved in yet?

B: Yes. Last week.

A: Is he okay?

B: Oh. yeah! I am so glad my old roommate left. He was always in a bad mood about things. My new one is so friendly and always happy. We get along really well.

4. A: What's your new roommate like?

B: Oh. we've already started having arguments.

A: How come?

B: She likes to have her friends come by all the time. The place is always full of her noisy friends.

A: Oh. That's too bad. You used to get along so well with the old one.

B: I know. She was really considerate.

5. A: How are you and your roommate getting along?

B: Pretty well. She usually comes home late. but she's always careful not to make any noise in case I'm sleeping. She's very thoughtful. I like that.

A: That's nice.

B: Yeah. She's a real change from my old roommate. She only ever cared about herself.

6. A: Has your roommate arrived yet?

B: Yes, he has. He's really fun.

A: Oh, good!

B: Yeah. He has a great sense of humor, so we're always joking and telling stories.

A: That's great. Your old roommate never told jokes.

B: Yes, he was so serious about everything.
