The seventeen-year locusts have descended on our town and their noise actually drowns out my daughter’s music

1 answer:

<span>Just a few things- you don't technically need the 'actually', it indicates a sarcastic tone and that your daughter's music is loud or annoying. The 'actually' is somewhat colloquial. Also, generally the more common phrase is "descended upon" rather than descended on. Lastly, unless the locusts are characterized by being 'seventeen-years' (as in, that's the exact, specific adjective that describes them), as opposed to 'seventeen year old', that's a strange/grammatically incorrect phrase. But if they're normally known as 'the seventeen-year locusts', you're fine!</span>

I typically arrive at the school early, around 8:00. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable even though I usually meet with my friend Brandy while I’m waiting for class to start at 8:15. I have noticed there is a camera by the lunch table, but I’m not quite sure if it works.

That’s all I have time for that will give you a start I’m sorry

Write a letter to your mother who lives in abroad asking why you need them.

Answer:

Dear Mum:

I am writing you from my hostel in Berlín. I need you to do me a favor, because it is my bestfriend's birthday I would like you to send him my gifts. It's not just one present, but three important things that mean a lot to him. These things include: a glass of wine, a bottle of wine (then I'll send you another letter telling you which special wine is) and a homemade chocolate bar.

This is an special favor for me because as I told you, is John's birthday and he is a big fan of wine and the combination with chocolates. I just want you to buy these presents and send them next saturday. It is very important for me, this birthday I am far away and I want to be there at least with this little present.

Thank you so much mum!!
