#仿例句📒

At 10:00, I was ready for bed. But Rodrick called the couch, and that meant I had to sleep with Grandpa again.

在这个句子中,想要记住的是一个用法:call the couch,Rodrick先抢占了沙发,所以我必须同爷爷一起睡觉。

【造句】Before we decided who to sleep on the bed or the couch, she has already called the bed. And she said that she can't sleep well in couch.

#Diary 👧

Watch out your behavior to be polite.

Yesterday, my aunt, whose daughter has got admission to college in Hefei, held a feast in hotel to celebrate her daughter's success. This is a tradition recently. When someone gets an admission to a college, his or her parents will hold a feast in hotel and inform their relatives, colleagues and friends to celebrate it together. Therefore, my father, elder sister and cousin, as well as my aunts and uncles and I all came to the place where the feast would be held. My aunt's daughter stayed in one room and did not say hello or call us after we arrived at 9:30 in the morning. It was unusual for her to be unconcerned by guests. We ignored her indifference firstly.

Two hours later, when I was in the hobby of the hotel, her father told her to lead her younger cousins to have meals. She suddenly screamed out something I did not hear clearly and stepped away quickly angrily. Her parents, cousins, aunts and uncles and me were there. None of us knew what happened to her. She was impolite that moment.

Her mother used to complained of her terrible temper to us. I always assured her that it was temporary due to her stress of study and would disappear once going to university. After seeing her actions yesterday, I was thinking about her politeness. 

When you have increased your knowledge, will you automatically behave more polite?
