my unlucky day

When I studied in University in Korea I took the bus to gok to school. Usually I spent it 1 hour just taking the bus.
One day, I waited for the bus to go to school. But the bus didn't come for 30 minutes so I took the other bus. But it was the start of my unlucky day. This bus drove a different way to my school. I was nervous so I fot off the bus and looked for the subway station. When I took the subway I noticed I had lost my traffic card. I had little money so I couldn't buy an unlimited card. Instead, I bought a one time card. Korea doesn't have a one day card. I arriverd at the station that was near my school but I didn't know where I was because I never took the subway to go to school. I called my friends but they didn't answer because I was late to class so they listened to the class. I walked and walked. I dedn't want to waste time any more. I decided to take a taxi. Finally, I could arrive at the school. I ran and ran to my class. I was already very tired, both in terms of my body and my emotion because I had lost my card, was late school, and had taken the different bus so it was a very confusing way. But I ran and ran to class for my attention. When I arrived in front of my class door I felt strange. Very quietly. I opened the door the class room was dark. What happended to the class? I called my friends and asked about the class. My class finished about 10 minutes ago. I couldn't attend the class although I ran and ran.
That day I didn't have more class so after lunch, I went to my house and never went out during the rest of the day.

story about time

Good morning. Please read everything below first

Do people in New York and your hometown think differently about time? Did you ever have to wait a long time for something here? Are you usually early or late to school? Why? Are trains on time in your country?

Choose one experience about time you have had in this country. Write about it. Make paragraphs.

Use Microsoft Word. Double space. When you finish the first paragraph, make a print and give it to Kevin. He will immediately correct the grammar and return it for you to rewrite and continue. When you finish the second paragraph, make a print of that and give it to Kevin for correction. In this way, you can work little by little, fixing errors.

When you finish, give your composition a title and please make two prints, one for you and one for Kevin. Then put the composition on this blog. Click BLOG THIS at the top of this page. Then write the user name: klathrop
and the password: kevinkevin

Paste your composition and write the title above and click PUBLISH POST (not SAVE AS DRAFT).
