Invites, excuses and prepositions - scrambled

Why I'm Late Today I rushed into the school office. "Sorry I'm late. I was having breakfast with the Norbotians," I said. "Who are the Norbotians?" Mrs. Gage asked. "The aliens-well, creatures-on Norbot," I explained. "They're really very nice," I added. Mrs. Gage shook her head. "You had breakfast with aliens?" she asked. "They invited us. They felt bad after I did a belly flop into their swimming pool," I said. "Why did they feel bad?" she asked. "Because it was filled with green slime,." I said. "They love to swim in green slime, but of course, they're Norbotians," I said. "I see. Well, why did you jump in if it was filled with green slime?" Mrs. Gage asked. "Oh, I didn't jump. I flew into it when Teresa pushed the red button-it said 'eject," I explained. Mrs. Gage snorted. "I suppose this eject button was inside your spaceship?" she asked. "That's right. The eject button is only for emergencies," I said. "Teresa freaked out, though, when the Norbotians came to say hello," I explained. "I thought you said they were nice," said Mrs. Gage. "They're very nice. It's not their fault they look... like they do," I replied. "And they came to say hello because ...?" she asked. "A spaceship doesn't land in their backyard every day," I said. "What were you doing in a spaceship?" Mrs. Gage asked. "How else would we get to Norbot?" I replied. "But where did you get this spaceship?" Mrs. Gage asked. "Teresa built it in her backyard," I said. "Where is the spaceship now?" Mrs. Gage asked. "It's out on the grass. I had to either land there or on the school roof." I said. "So where is Teresa?" Mrs. Gage asked. "She's going to school on Norbot today." I said. "We're doing a student exchange," I explained. Mrs. Gage looked at me and laughed. "That's the strangest excuse I've ever heard," she said. Then Mrs. Gage jumped up and spilled her coffee. "Your backpack is alive!" she screamed. "Oh, that's not my backpack," I said. I smiled and waved at Mrs. Gage. So did Norby. Mrs. Gage waved back. "Welcome to Earth!" she said.

How To Invite Students To Learning

Je t'invite à mon anniversaire

I am invited to a party.

I would like to write an email to my friend to invite her to a party

A. Hiking in Finland I've just come back from Finland. My friends from university invited me to join them on an eight-day hike. The walk is called the Bear Trail and it is in the Oulanka National Park in north-eastern Finland. It's a beautiful walk through forests and across rivers and lakes. We stayed at campsites and carried clothes, food and tents on our backs. I'm not the fittest person in the world but I was able to finish. I loved the incredibly clear air, the beautiful views and the sounds of nature. In my opinion, it is perfect for anyone who wants to start long distance walking as it is almost completely flat and well-signposted. Just try not to fill your backpack up with things which you won't need. B. Camino di Santiago It was the walk of a lifetime. Eight hundred kilometres from the south of France, over the Pyrenees mountains and across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. It all started so well. The path up to the Pyrenees was magical and it was good to meet other people doing the same walk. Everyone was enthusiastic about the walk ahead. But in Spain, the route often followed roads. It was noisy and monotonous, with unchanging views for hours and hours. More and more people joined the walk. They were generally friendly but it wasn't the experience I expected. I'd like to go back to the Pyrenees and hike there again but I'll stop there next time. C. The GR20, Corsica Corsica is a magnificent island with some wonderfully picturesque walks along the coast and inland. But for walkers, it is famous for the GR20, Europe's most difficult long distance walk. It goes from north to south and up and down from two hundred metres to over 2,200 metres above sea level. The frighteningly steep and rocky paths are beautiful but very demanding. Our guides will help you to complete the whole 180 km in fifteen days. The price includes transport, accommodation in tents and food. You should be in good health with experience of mountain walking and a good head for heights. No climbing experience is necessary.
