The following conversation:
sounds quite unnatural (particularly "turned up his nose at me", "bring myself to forget it", "starts me fuming", etc). Does native speakers talk like that? I have never heard people talking like this. I need to cross-check.
Thanks
Clara: | What happened just now, Mark? You werne't very kind when you were talking with Ted. What do you have against him? |
| |
Mark: | I just don't like him at all. | ||
Clara: | Why? Is there something in particular? | ||
Mark: | Well, he has such a mean streak in him! I went to his office to ask him for some help, and he simply turned up his nose at me! I was so angry that I wanted to slap him! He wasn't like that before he got the job. Now he's such a snob! | ||
Clara: | You want my advice? Let it go. | ||
Mark: | Of course, logically I know you're right, but somehow I just can't bring myself to forget it. Even the mention of his name starts me fuming. |
