It looked like rain. The sky was gray. It was almost noon, but the sun was hidden by a gray blanket. It was cool. There were no birds flying anywhere. A couple of birds sat on the telephone wire. Bob was standing outside talking to Bill. They both had their hands in their pockets. They knew that it was probably going to rain shortly. A sudden breeze blew some leaves off a tree onto the sidewalk.
A young woman wearing a dark blue coat and jeans walked by. She was walking a small dog. It was pure white, and pretty. It sniffed at a tree trunk. The woman waited patiently. Finally, the dog lifted its leg.
Bob said that he liked the rain. It was a nice change from the usual hot Los Angeles weather. And the plants could always use the extra water. Bill said the only thing he didn’t like about rain was that all the motor oil on the streets would get washed into the ocean, and so would all the trash.
"But that never stops the surfers," Bob said. "They don’t seem to care what’s in the water, as long as there are waves to surf on."

@Chị chauongco thương, Em học cũng muốn chóng mặt luôn áh! Nhưng từ bây giờ mỗi ngày em up 1 bài, vì có tới 365 bài lận!
Chị đang bận việc nhà, thì cứ để đó mai mốt rảnh thì chị vào ôn lại, học cái vụ Anh văn này cứ như là bơi trong biển kiến thức chị nhỉ? Ngụp lặn muốn ná thở luôn!
(Có vài thành viên theo dõi và mong chờ các bài ESL, và gọi điện nói là họ làm bài trên giấy, vậy nộp bài thế nào? Hihi..., em đùa nói là gửi bưu điện cho cô giáo MeoMup. Khéo chừng họ lại làm thế thật chị à!)
I have learned vocabularies & listened a lot of times everyday in your class, so i believe that: if we try to study a course everyday & after 1 year we can talk to a foreigner with American voice, that mean we never talk by hands & body-languages, congratulation.
One day if we learn 3 or 4 words by heart that multiply with 365 days, so we have over 1,000 words in our mind. That is good for using.
1.Yes, it did. 2.No, it wasn’t. It’s gray. 3.Yes, it was. 4.No, it wasn’t. It’s hidden by a gray blanket. 5.No, it wasn’t. It’s cool. 6.No, there weren’t. 7.Yes, they did. 8.No, he wasn’t. He’s standing outside. 9.Yes, he was. 10.Yes, they were.

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you I’d give to you a day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I’d sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you I’d tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I’d make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always
