1094860 Tom did everything within his power to save the children that were trapped in the burning building. CK 1 1092801 Tom thinks there's a good possibility that Mary will agree to babysit the children on Friday night. CK 1 1092710 Tom told Mary that he didn't think it was a good idea for her to go jogging in the park by herself. CK 1 953642 I think it's unlikely that aliens similar to what we see in the movies have ever visited our planet. CK 1 909546 If you spend too much time in the sun without putting on sunscreen, you are likely to get a sunburn. CK 1 953523 I looked in my closet for something to wear, but couldn't find anything appropriate for the occasion. CK 1 1894521 I'll be playing tennis with Tom this afternoon, but it's not something I'm really looking forward to. CK 1 886920 She advised him to take a long holiday, so he immediately quit work and took a trip around the world. CK 1 1094861 Tom did everything within his power to keep Mary from being elected president of the student council. CK 1 1946942 Tom wondered why many people in America think that baseball is more interesting to watch than soccer. CK 1 1096279 A young boy, who couldn't have been more than five years old, asked Tom how to get to the post office. CK 1 2494746 Tom is always sleeping in class. It almost seems like he goes to school just to catch up on his sleep. CK 1 1922107 Tom spent fifteen minutes trying to pry open the drawer with a crowbar, but he couldn't get it opened. CK 1 2464831 If you'd listen a little more carefully to what the teacher says, you'd probably be able to understand. CK 1 2047765 There were three hundred cardboard boxes filled with old clothes ready to be sent to the disaster area. CK 1 476180 To make up for his unpleasant experiences in the hospital, Tom drank a little more than he should have. CK 1 2494761 Tom is always sleeping in class. It almost seems as if he goes to school just to catch up on his sleep. CK 1 2334926 Tom prefers to take a shower in the morning while Mary prefers to take a bath just before going to bed. CK 1 2952955 If Tom had been able to speak French better, he would've been able to tell everybody how he really felt. CK 1 1196939 If Tom would learn to be a little more positive about things, people would probably like him a bit more. CK 1 1165800 If you'd told me about it earlier, I could've been free. However, tomorrow I have plans to go back home. CK 1 1096138 Mary asked Tom what he thought of her dress, but he knew better than to tell her what he really thought. CK 1 1853570 On school nights, Tom goes to bed at nine o'clock, but on Fridays and Saturdays, he stays up much later. CK 1 1095987 Tom and Mary don't have much time to talk together. Their children are always demanding their attention. CK 1 909549 Last year, I spent so much time by myself that I almost forgot how to communicate effectively with others. CK 1 1029748 Tom asked Mary a few questions that she couldn't answer, but she was able to answer most of his questions. CK 1 1040503 Tom wondered if Mary would think that eight in the morning was too early for him to open a bottle of wine. CK 1 1168219 We were unsure what kind of person Tom would be and whether he would like to live in the same house as us. CK 1 1096163 It took Tom every ounce of courage he had to admit to Mary that he had once been part of a terrorist group. CK 1 953438 I don't think it's necessary for me to sound like a native speaker, I just want to be able to speak fluently. CK 1 2412522 I know it's kind of late, but would you mind if I came over now? I have something I need to discuss with you. CK 1 1094735 Tom didn't know how to translate the word "computer" because the people he was talking to had never seen one. CK 1 1163495 Even though Tom told Mary about his problem, he didn't want to listen to any advice she had on how to solve it. CK 1 1024329 Tom pressed his ear against the wall to see if he could hear what his parents were discussing in the next room. CK 1 953512 I know that it is highly unlikely that you'd ever want to go out with me, but I still need to ask at least once. CK 1 1075523 I came here to see if there was something I could do to help, but there doesn't seem to be anything for me to do. CK 1 1988453 Tom doesn't like to use the term "a person of color" because he thinks it implies that white people have no color. CK 1 1211994 Tom likes Mary, but Mary likes John. To make matters even more interesting, John likes Alice, but Alice likes Tom. CK 1 1264702 Tom's constant arguing irritates some of his classmates. However, most of the class has just learned to ignore him. CK 1 953275 Getting your message across is much more important than trying to say it exactly like a native speaker would say it. CK 1 1092619 Tom tried to sell his old VCR instead of throwing it away, but no one would buy it, so he ended up throwing it away. CK 1 1318570 Tom didn't know the meaning of "anglophobia," so he did a quick web search to see if he could find out what it meant. CK 1 1871869 Tom said he wasn't interested in Mary, but he seemed to always be looking towards the side of the room where she was. CK 1 953468 I had never eaten any kind of Thai food, so I was pretty excited about going to a Thai restaurant with my grandmother. CK 1 2063293 After talking to Tom for a few minutes, it became obvious that his French wasn't very good, so Mary switched to English. CK 1 1027518 I think it's highly unlikely that Tom was not aware that he wouldn't be allowed to enter the museum without his parents. CK 1 1024662 Tom isn't your average guy. He doesn't like things most guys like and he doesn't like to do things most men enjoy doing. CK 1 953079 A lot of people who have up until now been spending money having a good time now need to be more careful with their money. CK 1 1067139 I started a new blog. I'll do my best not to be one of those people who blogs a lot right at the start and then quits blogging. CK 1 2425985 Tom hadn't washed clothes in a long time, so he searched through his dirty clothes to see if there was something clean enough to wear. CK 1
