Reading
Read the passage with your teacher.
선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
I need an unbiased viewpoint. A friend I've known for 2 years moved near by. Since he was a close pal of long standing, I invited him to stay with me. We became roommates and got along fine.We agreed that we would play the state lottery with the following understanding: Each of us would purchase at least one lottery ticket every week, and if any of those tickets were a winner we'd split the prize.Although I was unemployed for a period of time and not eligible for unemployment benefits, I still managed to buy a ticket every week. Often I asked my friend if he had bought his ticket and would say, "I forgot," or "The lines were too long."Well, I hit five numbers, won $5,000, and decided not to cut him in on the money since I felt he had not kept his part of the agreement. Our lease was up and we parted. He has all but shut me out of his life and I'm sure this is the reason.
