Honesty is the best policy!

Honesty is the best policy!

Everyday English
in Conversation

	Terri:	How are things going with you and your roommate?
	Jon:	Not very well.  We're supposed to share the groceries, but I end up feeding him three meals a day.  My grocery bill is huge, you know.  I really can't afford it any longer.
	Terri:	I know how you feel.  I used to have a roommate like that.  He never offered to reimburse me for anything.
	Jon:	I'm really fed up with his freeloading, but I just don't know how to tell him that he should come up with half the grocery bill, because sometimes he treats me to a meal in a restaurant.
	Terri:	Well, honesty is the best policy.  Maybe you just want to have a heart-to-heart, friend-to-friend talk with him.  If he refuses to mend his ways, then ask him to move out.  You can't let him wear out his welcome.                                                                       ://www.focusenglish.com/dialogues/friendship/honesty.htmle.
