Making sentences 50 days left


Taiwan came a severe typhoon Morakot today, so all the workers and students in the island had a day off. And all I could do the whole day was watching DVDs, reading books or surfing the Net. I am going to finish making sentenses with phrases from my English grammar book on this post as the last one I did.

2. clean up: make neat and clean

3. come along (with): acompany

7. cross out: draw a line through
