I didn’t go to my english lesson. I was very tired. Study and work were a classic day but since one month I have been practiced some sports and this day I performed my running time…… It was exhausting. But it wasn’t the real reason.

This day, I was late about twenty minutes. The last lesson I was late too because there were some people who demonstated against governement. So I had trouble to be late again.

When I took a tram to come to university I remembered that my the last book of my favourite manga is arriving this day. I didn’t need more reasons for going to manga shop and read my book in a nice park.

In order to prepare for exam we have done an exam in December 2008. It seemed to be be easy but it was long. I didn’t have enough time to finish it. I have learned that I couldn’t read and understand all texts. I must  read quickly and revelate important informations. Some students thought this exercise was unusefull but it was an effective preparation for exam.
