207 I'll be gone for a while, so I'd better check everything.
208 I'd better double check the gas in the kitchen. Ah, the valve was open.
209 Now, I've turned off the gas for the water heater in the bathroom. The air conditioner is also off.
210 I've already set the answering machine.
211 I'll also pull out the plug for all the appliances.
212 I hear that's a good way to save electricity.
213 Did I remember to lock up everything? T he bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room.
214 Check. All the windows are closed and locked.
215 Okay. And now I'll turn on the home security system.
216 If a cat burglar tries to break in while I'm gone, the system will call a security guard.
217 I'll make a final check and then I'm ready to go.
