 6. Dealing with a Difficult Situation  (pre:60  rec :60)

A close cousin who lives in another country is coming to visit for a year. She tells you that she would like to stay at your place to explore your country’s culture and to spend some time with you. Your roommate does not agree, and says you will have to move out if she comes.

<Choose ONE>

EITHER  Talk to your cousin. Explain why she cannot move in for a year.

OR  Talk to your roommate. Explain why your cousin should be allowed to move in with you for a year.

Hi, David I know you don’t really want my cousin to stay but I hope I persuade to change your mind. Let me explain. First, we have a spare bedroom in our home and my cousin is willing to pay 1/3 about rent. This will save us about 300 dollars for a month. I know you don’t have much money right now. So I think it will help you financially if my cousin stays with us. Second, My cousin study to be a chef. She is really great at cooking. She told me that she will be really happy to cook for us if she can live here. I know how much you love good cooking. I think you would love to eat her food. Especially, her pasta dishes. I hope the two reasons that I've given have persuaded you to change your mind. Then now my cousin to come and stay at our home.
