Saving money to buy a new car within a year is an example of a long-term goal, because it is a goal that takes a long time to accomplish and requires several stages in the process. It takes planning and strategy, and the results are not immediate.
The scores on the paper the character is holding shows that he is smart, but he's about to walk off of the edge because he's wasn't watching where he was going, this implies that he is not making a smart choice by staring at his paper and walking without paying any attention to where he is going. So it's ironic because it shows that he's smart making a not so smart choice.
Hope this helps!!
This, on the other hand, is a big, interesting book. Native English<span>-speakers intuitively know what order to put words in, but this is hard to teach to those </span>learning<span> the language. The difference between the right and wrong order is so subtle that it's hard to explain beyond simply saying that it “just sounds right” I find it simple but we all have our own opinions..</span>
