纯正英语一分钟-personal problems

One of my friends always seems¹ to have personal² problems³. Sometimes it’s a relationship⁴, sometimes it’s family, and sometimes it’s her. I’m not sure why she has so many personal problems and I think many of her problems aren’t really problems at all. She’s a bit⁵ of an attention⁶ seeker⁷. I think she invents⁸ problems just so she can talk to people. She likes people to feel sorry for her. I think it’s amazing⁹ how many people talk about their personal problems on TV or on the radio. Who cares¹⁰? There are much more important¹¹ things happening in the world today than someone¹² breaking up with their friend. If you think about all the terrible¹³ things happening in the world, our personal problems really aren’t problems at all.
