Last month a new flatmate moved into our apartment.
His name is Jonas and he plays the trumpet.
On the first evening he practiced for three hours.
We could not sleep, and the neighbors were angry.
So we had a talk in the kitchen.
Now he only plays in the afternoon.
Every Friday he cooks dinner for all of us.
He is a much better cook than a trumpet player.
