Yesterday at midnight, I was
at home when my friend George called to invite me to a really fancy party. After I hung up, I
dressed to the nines. He told me that the party was
close to my house, so I did not have to take a taxi. I just went to the party
on foot. The party was very good, and I arrived home
at midday today!

They were going home
on foot dressed in suits and ties. Even if they were
excited about the party, they were
forbidden to stay up late at night
on weekdays. Their teacher wanted to avoid
confusing them with their lesson and
wanted them to finish their homework first.

I know you don't feel
concerned about my new iPad but anyway, I'll explain how it works because it's
known for being very useful. Don't blow up this way! You should feel
blessed with the explanation I'm providing you. I don't want you to feel
annoyed with the user guide; it's only
limited to the basic functions. Thanks to this amazing device, you will be
connected to the world right away so please try to appreciate my advice.
