A sleepover

My parents *weren’t* very strict, I mean I played outside a lot, and I stayed at my friends’ houses all the time. It *was* great! But the first time I stayed at Tracy’s house, I *was* really anxious. She had a big dog, and it barked at me all the time.

A day at work

I remember my first day at this job, yeah. I started about a year ago, and it *was* my first office job. I *was* nervous because my boss *was* really strict, but my coworkers *were* really friendly. I guess it *wasn’t* so bad.

A day at school

OK, I never liked school, but high school *was* the worst. I actually changed schools a few times, so on my first day at high school, I *was* frightened. I didn’t know anyone, and the kids *were* really big and mean.

A special date

Of course, I remember. I *was* 15 or 16, and she *was* my crush. We went to the movies together. I really liked her, but I *was* really shy, and I didn’t say a lot. I didn’t see her again, I guess I *wasn’t* her type.

The children *weren’t* nice on her first day at school.

He *was* 15 or 16 on his first date.

The coworkers *were* really friendly.

The dog *was* really scary.
