F2F Class Notes (Vicki)

Write another story and try to use as many ADJ and ADV as possible.

It’s a nice day. We are having an autumn sports meeting. The current event is the long jump. My best friend signed up for the program, but she hurt her foot last week, so she had to drop out. She has won the championship every year for the past couple years. It’s a pity not to attend this time, but I’m sure she’ll win again in next year’s autumn sports meeting. And I’m still here to be proud of her.
