Lesson

This is a funny video by Jonah Ray called "Freeloader's Guide to Easy Living." My friend Matt is in it too.

What does "Freeloader" mean?

Answer:
Someone who accepts a lot of stuff rom other people with out offering to pay or give something back.

Example:
My brother stayed at my house for a whole week, ate all my food, drank my beer and just left without saying goodbye.  What a freeloader!


The video is pretty silly, but it's entertaining.

there are freeloaders all around the world and we have to learn how to live with those peoples!
so that we know how to treat them.

It’s really unlucky to make friends with freeloaders.I think a person should appreciate others’helps.Only that kind of person can be respected by others.Glad to make friends with them.

To be a freeloader is not my style too. I have my own work and I try to help my family as much as possible.

I try to not communicate with people, who are freeloaders. But I know a lot of them. And sometimes they make me a bit shoked with the way they treat others!
