Home away from home
On the way from the airport Peter explained to me that I wasn't going to stay at a hotel. He said (that) the company had rented a comfortable apartment for me. I asked him how much the rent was. He said (that) it was a lot cheaper than paying hotel bills, but I shouldn't worry about that. Why not? Because the company would pay my rent and utility bills, so I wouldn't be a real tenant. I wouldn't even have to see my landlord. If there was any problem I was to contact the building superintendent.
We came to a tall building. Peter paid our fare. «This will be your American home», he told me. Peter opened the door with a key and showed me into apartment 8c. He showed me where everything was. He said I could have something to eat and opened the refrigerator. It was full. I was not really hungry. But it was a hot day and I was thirsty. We made some sandwiches and opened a couple of bottles of beer.
I wasn't feeling very well. Peter told me I looked tired. I said I was feeling tired. He said (that) I'd have jet lag for a few days. He wished me good night and left. I was alone in my new American apartment.
