 Example
Last Wednesday, I came late to my school because I played playstation until 2.00 am
in the night. Because I woke up late.

I woke up about 6.30 am and the class would begin at 7.00 am. I ran to bathroom to
take a bath. I usually had breakfast after taking a bath, but on that day I did not do
that.

I always went to school by my motorcycle. But on that day, I forgot where I put the
key. So, I went to the school by public transportation. It took me a longer time. I
arrived at school at 7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my teacher had stood in front
of the class to teach. I entered my class and of course my teacher was angry at me
because I came late.

It was my bad experience and I hoped I would not do that again.
