The children like going to the park.

I left home early that day.

She’s going to Honduras next month.

Our house is right around the corner.

What time do you normally come home?

He leaves the house around 7:30 in the morning.

She left the house without taking the baby’s clothes.

Yes, we’re paying on the house.

The family went to the beach over spring break.

Where is your home located?

The kids are safe at my house.

Millions of people are being forced to leave their homes.

In my home it’s just me, my partner and my children.

How far is your house from their dad’s house?

I usually go home right after work.

Why did you go?

After lunch we went to the doctor’s office.

My daughter wants to come home.

On our way home we stopped at the store.

My home is your home.

First, I would like to ask you “how have you been?” or “what have you been doing recently?”. I tried texting you before and it sucks that I was just left on seen.. I only wanted to have a conversation with you. I am out of my mind and I want to try doing whatever it takes to get over you.

Getting over you is hard. It’s actually extremely hard whenever I see you having fun with other people. It really fucking sucks, you know. Yet, I’m glad that you might be doing well without me. Perhaps, one day, we will get to confront each other and have a full conversation. Ultimately, I would like us to be friends. I’m not sure whether you want that. The silence between us is killing me. When I see you with your other friends, having a nice talk, it hurts.

Last week, it really felt like we were ending our relationship on good terms. Today, however, felt like the opposite when you didn’t want to even talk to me or look at me. Maybe in your view, I was awful and I apologize a million times for that. I beg for you to just talk to me. Please do not treat me as a stranger or even worse than that..
I’m not sure how you feel right now and maybe you are treating me this way just to get over me.

I would also like to talk about whether I should return the stuff you’ve given me.. Since they are just taking space in my room and it is quite hard to look at all of it. Oh well.. I also wonder if you have already chosen someone to be with and moved on with some other girl… though, that is not a great thing to wonder about and I would prefer it that you don’t tell me. I will give you all the respect and space that you need as long as I am your friend and that you don’t move onto a person I dislike or a person who is my friend. I hope that you agree with that too.

Visiting Regent Park in London was an unforgettable experience for several reasons, being first of all, I got there by chance, like plenty of the places I met during my travel.

A: Do you have a car?
B: Yes, I do.
A: What kind of car do you have?
B: I have a Honda
A: Is it new?
B: It was new in 2013.
A: So, it's pretty old now.
B: Yes, it is. But it still looks good.
A: Do you take good care of it?
B: Oh, yes. I wash it once a week.
A: Do you change the oil?
B: My mechanic changes the oil twice a year.

I spend a lot of time in school so I can’t help liking some aspects and disliking other aspects of it.
First of all, I love recess, like every student I guess, but it is especially true after two hours of torture listening to the history teacher. I the lunch break but we only have a 30 minutes break so I would like to have more time for lunch.
The classes are not all complete torture, it really depends on the teacher ! This year, I like biology and English but I reall dislike mathematics and history. I would really like to have less maths lessons during the week.
I also dislike some of the rules in place at my school I would like to be treated like an adult and I would love to be allowed to use my phone at school.
Finally, I hate that my school is kind of boring too. There are only two clubs and I would like my school to organise more events. For instance, I would love a prom night or a day when we can dress up !

This year, I would like to become class president for the first time.
I am responsible, trustworthy and friendly and that’s why I believe that I would be a good class representative. But I’m not perfect, I have flaws too ! For exemple, I am a bit fearful and I am not always self-confident.
This year, I want to be elected class president because I want to have the opportunity to defend my classmates and I want to improve life at school.
At school, I like most of the rules we have but I really dislike the food that is served at the cafeteria. As a class president, I would like to bring some changes. For exemple, I would like students to be allowed to bring sandwiches for their lunch break.
I would also like to organise some events at school, we don’t have a prom and I would like that to change.
There is one rule that I would like to change : we are not allowed to play football in the courtyard so sometime we get a bit bored during recess.
I know that my classmate Todd wants to become class president this year but to be honest, he is selfish and dishonest so I don’t think that he would be a good class president.
