It was a lovely day when Joe, Sam an Sarah began their long walk into the big forest. They had prepared a picnic with some delicious sandwiches. They had done this many times before and they thought it was great.
After a while, they realised they were lost. Sarah suggested having their picnic and then finding their way home. They ate their food under an huge tree, told each other funny jokes and they set off.
They walked and walked until they were exhausted. They came to a lake. Joe started to feel depressed and Sam started to panic." We're never going to get home!"said Joe. Sarah told them not to be silly.
She took her mobile phone out of her bag and dialled. "Hello? Is that the forest patrol? We're lost in the forest and we're by the lake. That's great, thank you."She put the telephone back in her bag and looked at the boys with a bright smile. "The main road is two minutes that way. You boys can be such big babies sometimes!"

early

prompt

punctual

late

tardy

overdue

Some people in my family like to be on time. They try to be prompt. If they have an appointment at 9:00 A.M., they try to arrive at 9:00 or earlier. They know that people who are not prompt sometimes have problems.

My brother is always late. He never goes to work early. When he was in school, he was always tardy. His book were often overdue at the library. My parents and his teachers tried to teach him to be on time, but they didn't succeed. He will never be a punctual person.

(Aug 09th 2011 14:03) Yesterday, I went to see /watch a movie with two of my friends. It `s a French movie called ‘Copacabana’.To tell the truth (Actually ? ), I don`t know this word`s meaning.To tell the truth, I don’t know what this word means. I just know that it was a warm and fun movie about a mom and her daughter. Mom keeps wanting to live as a star (?), but on the other hand, her daughter just wants to live a normal life. Mom always wants to live as a heroine but on the other hand, her daughter wants to live as a commoner. After the movie ended, we took a taxi and went to eat “hamheung naengmyun” (함흥냉면) for lunch. H-O-W-E-V-E-R- , we couldn’t have it, because the restaurant that we wanted to go to is closed on Mondays. When I come back home, I will keep on writing this entry.
