The A to Z English Podcast | Would you rather have a roommate who constantly cleans but never speaks, or a roommate who constantly speaks but never cleans?
In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack is joined by guest hosts May and Salimeh. Together, they answer the following Would you rather question:Would you rather have a roommate who constantly cleans but never speaks, or a roommate who constantly speaks but never cleans?Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the A to Z English podcast. My name is Jack and today I am here with two of my good friends Saalimah from Iran and may from Malaysia.00:00:24JackYeah. And we are going to do a would you rather question and today's question is would you rather have a roommate who constantly cleans but never speaks or a roommate who constantly speaks but never cleans?00:00:44JackAnd I'm going to start with Salimeh first. So Salimeh, what would you?00:00:49aJackIn a roommate?00:00:50MayYeah. Jack, maybe you can. Maybe you can before we start maybe.00:00:53MayYou could define the prove it is it.00:00:56JackOhh yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, OK right. Cause may before we started recording today May mentioned that in Malaysia a roommate is a person who you share a room with and a housemate is someone who lives in your house together. But you have different rooms. And in English we just use the same word for both.00:01:17JackSo if you live in an apartment and you and you share that apartment with another person, but you have two bedrooms and so one person stays in one bedroom and another in the other bedroom, you would still refer to that person as my roommate.00:01:32JackAs your roommate. So yeah. OK, so, Selena, what do you think? Yeah.00:01:33MayOK, OK, got it checked.00:01:37SalimehThank you. Well, this is easy for me actually, because I would rather to be with the roommate. It will cleanse constantly. No speaking, you know, because I don't care about the cleanliness and I don't mind if you know she doesn't talk at all. So I have still have a clean room.00:01:57SalimehClean hands and also I have enough. You know there is no noise. All all silent I can work.00:02:04SalimehOr study or whatever and you know, and no interrupting or no one is gonna disturb me. So this is my answer.00:02:14JackSo for you it's OK, like if you're not friend like close with your roommate. You would rather they just be like a good roommate, but you don't.00:02:22JackHave to be friends.00:02:24SalimehYeah, yeah. For for me, it's OK.00:02:26SalimehBecause I can have my own friends.00:02:29SalimehThis is totally fine for me.00:02:31JackYeah. Yeah, OK. OK. Alright, that's pretty good. That's a good argument. You make a good point.00:02:36SalimehYeah, living in dormitory. So we I have.00:02:39SalimehA lot of.00:02:40SalimehYou know, like a lot, a lot of. But I had a few roommates and I I didn't, you know, and they not all of them were my friends. We we were just roommates and we were.00:02:52SalimehLet's share within room. You know the House, so this is OK for me as long as you know they are clean and care about the cleaning cleanliness.00:03:00JackRight. And respectful. That's like pretty important too. You don't want to have a bad like dynamic or anything, but in this case it's just a person who's very quiet but is always cleaning. OK, so you're going for the clean, the clean house. Alright. May what about you? What? What would you rather have constantly speaks, never cleans.00:03:20JackConstantly cleans but never speaks.00:03:22MayI have this same view as Selima. I prefer to have a roommate.00:03:30MayWho is clean and when she when she is clean, obviously she will also clean her room.00:03:40MayThe house. Maybe the her her bedroom. The the living room.00:03:47MayKitchen so everything is clean. I mean, I can find friends from another side. I can go out and hang and hang out with people at the shop. Or maybe I can call my friend to talk.00:03:59MayTo however, if she.00:04:04MayIt's not a clean person. I will definitely have a hard time because probably she will leave her things everywhere and then she will not throw her rubbish in her room. Maybe she wouldn't wash her clothes constantly and that will.00:04:22MayCreate a bad smell from her room and it of course it.00:04:26JackRight.00:04:27JackAnd she's always talking all the.00:04:28MayWould spread.00:04:29JackI'm right.00:04:30MayYeah, I mean, if she.00:04:33MayTalks something nice.00:04:35MayIt will be fine, but then if you're talking too much, I mean we need to have our own space as well. So for that reason, yeah, I prefer to have a person clean, but less talking. Yeah, clean, but less talking.00:04:42JackYou guys.00:04:54JackOK, now I'm gonna.00:04:56JackAgree with you guys because I think like.00:05:01JackThis is the description of the perfect roommate. It's very hard to find a roommate who never talks but just cleans all the time. Like how amazingly good would that be? That would be so awesome, right? Just a person that's kind of hanging out there, cleaning the dishes, doing the dishes.00:05:20JackCleaning the table, vacuuming the floor, but then you don't really even have to, like, talk to them that much. You can just do your own thing, watch Netflix, read a book, whatever, and have your friends, you know, go see your friends and hang out or whatever. I think it's actually the definition of the perfect women.00:05:36MayYeah. Cool. That's nice.00:05:40SalimehIn this situation, we can be the targeted person. We can, you know, speak, because we are like a talkative and we love, you know, speak, talk a lot and that can that person can be listener, you know, because she's she's quiet and we talk and she listens. So this is.00:05:57SalimehThe perfect match.00:05:58JackYeah, that's true. Right? Like your roommates?00:06:01JackJust doing the.00:06:01JackDishes and you're just telling, telling your roommate all about your day and all the problems you have. And I got in a fight with my boss or whatever, and they're just cleaning away and listening to you. Yeah. I mean, it's the perfect. It's the perfect roommate, if you designed.00:06:16JackA roommate in a laboratory.00:06:18SalimehRight.00:06:19JackThat would be the perfect roommate. Yeah, it would be just like that. Alright, listeners out there. Let us know what you think. Do you agree with the three of us that the quiet roommate who is always cleaning is the best roommate? Or would you prefer someone who is more talkative?00:06:21SalimehRight there.00:06:39JackThat you can chat with, but let's the cleaning kind of slide a little bit and is not so.00:06:45Jack80 around the apartment, check out our website agencyenglishpodcast.com.

A to Z Dear Jack 26 | "Seeking Quietude"
Dear Jack,I've got a bit of a noise issue in my place, and I'm not sure how to handle it. My roommate loves to sing all over the house – in the shower, while doing dishes, you name it. The tricky part is, they're not the best singer, and it's starting to drive me a little crazy. How can I ask them to keep the singing down without making things awkward between us?Thanks,Seeking QuietudePodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-26-seeking-quietude/Social Media:WeChat account ID: atozenglishpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
