I had a terrible morning yesterday,
Many things went wrong in that unfortunate morning. I grabbed my coffee before I left to catch the bus. When I got on the bus, I didn't have my bus pass. I paid the driver with cash and sat down.
After I put my bag down, I took a sip, the bus went over a bump in the road, and the coffee spilled on me. I ran to the restroom to clean up before I ran to class because I knew that I was already late.
To my surprise, when I got there, the room was empty. There was no class that day because my teacher was out of town.
Last holiday, my family and I had picnic. We went to Sanur beach. We left by car at four in the afternoon. My father drove his car carefully. We arrived at Sanur at six in the evening. Then we went to motel located near the beach. We spent the night there. It was small but beautiful. The price is also reasonable too.
