Speaking exercise

I go to CM island on October 5th and it’s a great fun but the traffic is very bad and it takes up many hours to return back home. I’ve been to there before and my parents buy a house there so we usually go to there.

I have a fencing competition and I think it go great and like I get the 16th of SH. But, in a match, unfortunately I miss a strike on player so I failed.

I also had a programming competition and my parents only told me the day before so I didn’t prepare a lot.

The first exam is easy but the second is sometimes the questions are difficult and it’s difficult for us to write.

The Ancient Greece was divided 3 period of time. The first period of time was ended by a form of government called democracy. The second period of time was ended by the death of Alexander the Great. The Ancient Greece influenced the way we think today and also impacts maths, arts, literature, culture and the form of government today.
