[00:00.00]Qianlian is keen to go to university
[00:03.32]but she definitely
[00:04.27]doesn't want to study medicine
[00:06.26]She used to simle all the time
[00:07.83]but now she looks washed out and unhappy
[00:10.51]She's also lost a lot of weight
[00:12.27]and I'm really worried about her
[00:14.15]I don't know what to advise her
[00:16.37]so I've asked a few friends what they think.
[00:19.44]The flatmate from hell
[00:21.54]Monica's parents are very protective,
[00:23.62]and had always refused to allow her
[00:25.59]to attend university in a city 100 km away
[00:29.78]However, when her aunt and uncle bought a flat
[00:32.50]there for her cousin,Julia,
[00:34.38]they agreed to let her go,
[00:35.92]if she lived with Julia
[00:37.96]Monica knew Julia was a bit spoilt,
[00:40.31]but they had always got on fine,
[00:42.44]and Monica was happy to share with her
[00:45.27]However, she has seen another side of Julia
[00:47.55]since they started living together
[00:49.58]Her cousin never invites Monica
[00:51.14]to join in when she has friends round,
[00:53.36]and is selfish in all sorts of small ways.
[00:56.34]She switches the TV over
[00:57.35]when Monica is watching something,
[00:59.35]plays music late at night when she knows
[01:01.49]Monica has early lectures the next day,
[01:04.12]and uses Monica's clothes, make-up and food
[01:06.46]without asking
[01:08.15]She acts as if Monica owes her something,
[01:10.71]even though Monica's father is paying rent
