Episode 81: Hello stranger!
Khalid: Hello, stranger!
Helen: Ooh, hi Khalid! How are you? It's been ages, hasn't it?
Khalid: I know! I haven't seen you since the barbecue.
Helen: Oh yeah, the barbecue. It was a smashing day wasn't it? But poor Alice was really ill the next day.
Khalid: Was she?
Helen: She had to go to the doctors. But she's as right as rain now. Anyway Khalid, what's happening with you?
Khalid: Well, I've just enrolled on a part-time course here at the university, and I'm still a student at the language school!
Helen: Wow! So you're studying hard?
Khalid: Of course! But it's not easily to study at home. My flatmates are really rowdy and I can never get any peace and quiet.
Helen: Hmm... I might be able to help you with that.
