we were going to the park, we saw Michael on the way. He joined us and we
chatted for an hour there.
Axel: Sounds nice. So are you ready for Mrs. Sabina’s class?
Laura: Not at all. What about you? I bet you finished yours last night.
Axel: Well, I didn’t study all night. I was watching TV at eight o’clock. Then I
started writing my new blog post.
Laura: Cool! What about the homework then?
Axel: Well, My plan was to watch some TV then do the homework. After the
phone call at eight, I changed my mind and logged in to my blog.
Laura: Who called you?
Axel: Mark. I was just watching Jeopardy on TV when he called me. He
called me to say that homework was postponed to next week.
Laura: Really? Great! In the park, I was really worried about my homework. I
can finish it now. So while we were chatting in the park, you were posting on
