When I came back to the flat I was sharing with Mark, a college friend, it was already past midnight. I had spent the
weekend in my hometown with my parents and I was feeling quite relaxed. I quietly unlocked the door and went into
the flat. (1)___ I nearly fell over Mark’s sports bag, which he’d carelessly left in the middle of the hall. His shoes and
tennis stuff were lying all around the floor. I took off my coat and went to the kitchen to have some tea. It was the
same old story there. (2)___ Food leftovers were on the table and the bin was so full that some rubbish had fallen over
it onto the floor. Angry, I dashed to the living room, which I’d carefully tidied on Friday before leaving the place. The
awful smell of cigarette smoke hit my nose as soon as I opened the door. I’d asked him a thousand times not to smoke
in the flat. The living room wasn’t any better than the kitchen. (3)___ He hadn’t even emptied the ashtray, which was
full of cigarette ends and gave off a terrible smell.
‘I’ve had enough of that!’ I thought as I walked angrily into his bedroom.
A There was a pile of dirty dishes in the sink.

C And my good mood disappeared a second later.
