Practice with making complaints:
A: I'm not happy about my job.
B: How come?
A: You know, I have to work 60 hours a week. Sometimes I am not able to meet the deadline, so I have to work during the weekend, too. I have no time for myself, and my family. I'm really dissatisfied.
B: I can understand that. But you know, now the economy is down like this, you are lucky that you still have a job. So be happy and feel blessed about it !
A: I know. Still that's not what I expected.

ok now it's my turn to practise complaining a little bit (hehe in fact I've had enough of complaints and I myself complain a lot, but all in Vietnamese )
Mom: I'm extremely upset about you, daughter!
Me: What did you say, mom? What's wrong with you?
Mom: What have you done today? Tell me, dear. You just sit there in front of computer, logging on to network, chatting all day long...
Me: Well mom, I log on to the Internet just to study. English club is a really cool place, you know. Hmmm, chatting? I didn't chat a lot, I just asked some English questions, I swear, all for practising English. Don't you believe your lovely obedient daughter?
Mom: But your English grades are still not up to my expectations. How come don't you help me? Much remains to be done about housework. You can log on to The Internet, but one hour per day only. That's the limit. Remember, the telephone bill is coming....
Me: (whispering) Oh mom, don't you know I'm online from 2 to 3 hours a day???
As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
As our lives change, come whatever
We will still be FRIENDS FOREVER
