  - Describe how you feel about your friend’s return
  - Give reasons that you and your friend should share a home

BECKY!

I just heard that you’re coming back to Manchester in the spring; is this really true?!

I’ve missed you sooooooo much, you wouldn’t believe! Although I’ve also heard that you are planning to get your own place in Stretford, and this makes me less excited. I have been living on my own for six months now, and I can’t wait to get back into a house share or something. Living alone is just not for me, and I always thought that the days we lived together were the best.

That’s why I’d like to propose that we start looking for a flat for the two of us. It would be cheaper than us both living apart, and we both have great jobs so we can afford a really big place with both of us there. Imagine a city centre apartment in a converted mill, three double bedrooms, massive living room!

You know you want to!

Your forever mate,
Dave
