The Flatmates

From the BBC LEARNING ENGLISH comes this serie THE FLATMATES. As I told you in class, it is very funny to learn new vocabulary and new expressions. Apart from the episode you can do the quiz to check your understanding.

Meet the Flatmates. These are the characters:

  • Tim: Tim's ambitious and very competitive. He'd like to start up his own business and is always on the lookout for people and ideas that can help him make his dream a reality. Until recently, he was working as an assistant manager in a department store, selling jewellery. 
  • Helen: Helen was born in China but has lived in Britain since she was 12. She is at university studying politics and economics. Helen is worried about her exams. She wants to get a good degree but doesn't study as much as she should. Khalid: Khalid was born in Bahrain, but he is studying English at a language school near the flat. He is also a part-time business student at the University. He loves sport, especially football, and is interested in music and fashion too. here
  • Alice: Alice is a nurse from London. She loves her job and gets a lot of satisfaction helping people get better. She wants to get married and have kids but she never seems to meet the right man.
