EP 43. SUBJUNTIVO IMPERFECTO

Describe a time you were very busy.

You should say: 

When it was.
Why you were so busy.
How you managed it.
And explain how you felt about being so busy.





“ One of the busiest times I experienced was about 3 months ago, when I had to finish a very important and difficult assignment in order to graduate in my major, business management. 

I had only 2 weeks to complete this paper, and if I didn't meet the deadline, I would automatically fail my finals, as well as being unable to graduate, so it was of great importance to me. I also had a part-time job at this time, which took up a lot of my time and didn’t actually leave much time to complete my paper. 

The assignment was also very challenging, certainly  no walk in the park  and I needed to do a lot of research as well as collect a lot of data before I could even start to brainstorm ideas on how I would complete it. This meant I had to burn the midnight oil, and pull a few all nighters to be certain of having it finished to meet the deadline.

Although I didn’t exactly enjoy being so busy and under so much pressure, I felt very proud and satisfied to have completed the assignment after working all the hours god sent me. I was on cloud nine when I received my grade and discovered I got a straight A for the paper, and could now look forward to graduating.


Thank you…”

有条“蚯蚓”真可笑（朱晋杰）
有条“蚯蚓”真可笑，
顺着鼻子上下跑。
哧溜一声——出来了，
哧溜一声——进去了。
不是蚯蚓是鼻涕，
掏出手绢快擤掉。
不要挂在鼻子上，
让人看见多不好。
