Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept late and Mom shouted at me to wake up. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, there was no cereal. I decided to have some toast instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. The juice bottle was empty, so I had a glass of cold water.

When I was getting on a bus, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, so I had to go back home to get it.

When I got home, I went straight to my room to catch up on my homework. Mom cooked fish for dinner. She knows I don’t like fish, but she thinks it is good for her son. How terrible! I hope tomorrow will be better.

They should learn to divide their time outside of class between sport sand clubs. What’s more, 4. watching TV and chatting with their roommates. But what surprised me most was that many of them did not seem happy because5.. They felt that they should be doing something else what ever they were doing. That’s why they were not happy.
