It gives us the feeling the day will never end.Doctors said there is nothing else to do about her illness, than to accept it.To be angry because of the bad weather won’t help, as there is nothing we can do tochange it.If we can not change a fact that bothers us, we should accept it.If there is nothing to do for you today, you should take the children to the playground7 It’s cold in this houseThe heat is too low in this house, we should turn the heater system on.No wonder we catch the flew in such a freezing house.This house is not warm enough, we should open the curtains so the sun can comethrough the windows and warm it up.I would really appreciate to have a few more degrees in this house.In this house, I have the feeling i am a white bear at the North Pole8 I don’t want to be lateI have a meeting and i’d better be on time.My mother always used to tell us that to be on time is the main polite way to showrespect to people who wait for us.I have to go as i don’t want my friend to wait for me.I have to run as my appointment is in fourty minutes and i must drive through the citycenter.9 I am hungryI am starving, i should quickly find something to eat.Would be nice if i could feed my hungry mouth !Long time i haven’t eaten something, i am so hungry i could eat a horse.Isn’t a shame ?
