A. Nor a shoulder to cry ON since i was an only child…
B. But the two of us hit it OFF right away
C. We spoke the SAME language
D. I feel she knows me inside OUT
E. We are not always ON the same wavelength.

• NOR A SHOULDER TO CRY = NI UN HOMBRO PARA LLORAR


• HIT IT OFF RIGHT AWAY= Llévalo de inmediato
• SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE= HABLA EL MISMO IDIOMA
• SHE KNOWS ME INSIDE OUT = ELLA ME CONOCE DE DENTRO FUERA
• WE ARE NOT ALWAYS ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH = NO ESTAMOS SIEMPRE
EN LA MISMA LONGITUD DE ONDA

I don´t think we need to like each other from the very beginning. We didn´t HIT IT OFF
immediately, but then we became very good Friends.

I think you and your Friends generally need to be ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH in most topics
because if you don´t, you might be fighting all the time.

You might feel that someone and you SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE, but that doesn´t mean
you are going to be Friends.

A good friend doesn´t have to be A SHOULDER TO CRY because not everybody has those
people skills

You sometimes think you KNOW SOMEONE INSIDE OUT, but the truth is that people can
surprise you rather unpleasatly.

Although simon is going to university this autumn to study JOURNALISM (journal) he


has been working as a waiter for six months top ay for a holiday. Ar first, he says, he was
absolutely USELESS (use) at the job. It took him far longer tha he´d expected to be able to do it
SUCCESSFULLY (success). This was partly because he was given no formal TRAINING (train) at
all. He says that the job would not have been his first CHOICE (choose) but it had been difficult
to find any kind of temporary EMPLOYMENT (employ) at all, so he´d had to take what he could
get. The salary is not good either, specially in view of the number of hours he Works. Waiters
can´t the MANAGERS (manage) of some restaurants. So he just has to hope for generous tips
instead. He would never consider working in a restaurant again, ainly beause of the rude and
UNPLEASANT (please) attitude of many chefs towards waiters. However, he admits there were
very few COMPLAINTS (complain) about the food.

HASTA EL MARTES
