Good morning Michael,
1. Despite Bob meant to say “I was pretty bored”, he answered “I was boring”.
2. His history class was boring because the teacher was boring.
Have a nice day!
Great Job Ryo. I hope you have an exciting day!
Hi Michael
1.Tom was surprised with Bob’s answer because he said incorrectly” I was pretty boring” ,whereas he could say ” It was pretty boring ” or ” I was pretty bored”.
2. Micheal thinks his history class is boring because the teacher is boring.
I am interested in folk music. I think this kind of music is effected of the culture,customs, history and the real emotion of people that live in a specific region.
Thanks Nasrin. Yes….my history class in my first year of high school was so boring!
