STEP 1:
LISTEN TO THE AUDIO
Nothing was going right yesterday. I was trying to do my homework and study for a test. It was so stressful. My math homework was really difficult so I struggled to finish it. My parents tried to help me, but they also had trouble with it. When I was done, I needed to write a paragraph for English class. But my mom's laptop was acting up. I had to write it by hand. I will type it in the computer lab at school. Then I was going to study for my science test. But I could not find my textbook. I wasted an hour looking for it. I searched the whole house. Then, I remembered that I left it on my front porch. I was sitting with some friends yesterday after school. I left it on the chair outside. When I finally found it, it was getting very late. I studied until I could not stay awake any longer. My mother told me to go to bed. I really didn't get enough sleep. I must go school early this morning, so I can finish my English homework in the computer lab. I was hoping to have a good day, but it may be another stressful school day.
