He conocido gente muy diferente.<br \/>\nAlan: \u00bfAh s\u00ed? Cu\u00e9ntame un poco.<br \/>\nOlivia: Bueno, yo reconozco que soy un poco pija y que todos mis amigos son pijos como yo. La gente que estoy conociendo es bastante diferente.<br \/>\nAlan: \u00bfUn momento? Yo soy tu amigo. \u00bfMe est\u00e1s llamando pijo?<br \/>\nOlivia: A ver Alan. Somos pijos. No hay nada malo en ello. Bueno t\u00fa eres pijo guiri. Y un poco friki tambi\u00e9n con tu adoraci\u00f3n por el manga y esas cosas.<br \/>\nAlan: Y t\u00fa eres una pija empollona \u00bfno?<br \/>\nOlivia: S\u00ed, la verdad es que s\u00ed. Me gusta estudiar y ser la mejor de la clase, no lo voy a negar.<br \/>\nAlan: Bueno, cu\u00e9ntame un poco sobre la gente que has conocido en la uni. \u00bfC\u00f3mo son?<br \/>\nOlivia: Hay de todo. Las chicas con las que comparto habitaci\u00f3n son muy diferentes. Carolina es una siniestra, solo tiene ropa negra y se echa polvos blancos en la cara para parecer m\u00e1s blanca.<br \/>\nAlan: \u00a1Ah s\u00ed!<br \/>\nOlivia: Ver\u00f3nica es una hippy. Muy buena persona pero siempre habla de la paz y del amor. Lleva ropa muy hippy y pone m\u00fasica reggae  a todo volumen todo el tiempo.<br \/>\nAlan: \u00bfM\u00fasica reggae? A ti no te gusta el reggae \u00bfno?<br \/>\nOlivia: No mucho, pero prefiero el reggae al heavy metal que pone Patricia, mi otra compa\u00f1era de habitaci\u00f3n.<br \/>\nAlan: \u00bfEs una heavy?<br \/>\nOlivia: \u00a1S\u00ed, y cuando yo pongo mi m\u00fasica favorita se r\u00ede de m\u00ed!<br \/>\nAlan: \u00bfQu\u00e9 pones? \u00bfA David Bisbal?<br \/>\nOlivia: \u00a1Claro! \u00a1Es mi cantante favorito! \u00a1Lo adoro!<br \/>\nAlan: Creo que la convivencia va a ser dif\u00edcil para ti, Olivia. Buena suerte.<br \/>\nOlivia: Gracias Alan. Creo que la voy a necesitar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on? How much did you understand of the listening?
