my friend lost his cell phone

That day I had promised to accompany my friend to register her for school, I accompanied him and point the way to him, because he did not know the route. And I will finish my business, too.
Alarum rang in the morning, I woke up, showered quickly so as not to be late. Because I must keep my promise that day. After breakfast and a shower I went to the train station, because we agreed to meet at the train station, and travel by train. Upon arrival, I do not see my friends, I seem to come too early.
After several minutes I waited for my friend finally arrived, but we can not directly continue the journey because the train is yet to come. And we have to wait until the train came. Then we rushed to continue the journey to achieve the goal. There we settle our affairs, to register my friend, and I completed my own affairs as well. Until the whole affair is finished. We had lunch before going home, after lunch we went home.
Travel back as before, using the train headed to the train station where we first met. We are very relieved to have completed our business, we do not have the burden. On the train we joked to pass the time during the trip. Until we finally arrived at their destination.
After my friend and I went down the train suddenly we were surprised, my friend discovered that he had lost his cell phone. Apparently the phone that he had been stolen on the train, maybe the incident when we're joking. My friend was very sad at the time. But the incident has occurred, we can not play the time to reverse the situation, we can only accept with patience. And make it as a lesson, so as not to repeat the incident.

In the morning I wake up, feel the fresh air in the morning. I thought I was ready to greet the day. I was thirteen years old at that time, both my high school junior class. Schedule I school in the daytime, in the morning I'm happy to relax because I've finished all the tasks in the evening. I hurried shower, feeling sticky, if not bathe twice a day, maybe because I'm used to like it. That morning I was alone at home, my mother went to the market to buy cooking purposes, my younger brother playing with his friends outside. Confused what to do, alone at home sometimes seem boring, nobody could talk to.
After a shower and then followed by breakfast, filling the strength to face all challenges on this day, a glass of milk and two slices of bread that accompanied me in the morning, becoming the best breakfast menu I am in the morning. To fill the time I turned on the television after breakfast, watching television is very useful to relieve boredom. Relax by watching television while lying down.
Suddenly I heard the phone rang, I immediately answered the call. It comes from my grandfather's house, providing information that my grandfather died at the time, I was very surprised to hear that. Cheerful atmosphere is no longer I feel, emotions that I now feel. I hurried to find my mother and sister, after that the three of us went to my grandfather's house. When I got there my dad and my other relatives had gathered there.
At first I did not believe, I think just the wrong information, I really do not believe. My grandfather, whom I love is gone forever and left me. Very sad if I continue to think about it, but this is a fact, I could not refuse. I do not want this experience, but I can not do anything about it. Maybe this is the destiny of God, I can not deny this. It may be denied. I take a lesson from what has happened. I can do is handle all the brave and patient.

bad experiences 1

One day after school, when I rushed home with my friends. we go home together with my motorcycle. Along the way we rejoice. Sometimes humming, laughing together, until saturation is not how we feel during the trip. Since there is only joy, cheerful, and laughter.
When it was the month where Muslims must fast, in the Hijri year, called Ramadan. My friend and I are fasting, but we run it with pleasure. Though hungry, we still rejoice. With pleasure we do it.
On the way we stopped at a refueling point to refuel my bike, if not refill the fuel then the bike I would not be able to walk again. So I immediately went to fuel injection. The queue at the gas station seems a bit long. There are many vehicles that recharge fuel as well. In the queue I have five vehicles that have been lined up in front of me to refuel. This seems to be a long process of refueling my vehicle. Patiently waiting for my friend and I lined up mengantrian to fill the fuel for my motorcycle. While waiting for the queue again and again we are filled with jokes and laughter. My friend always acting stupid, so fun for me at the time. So I do not feel tired.
Until it was my turn to refuel my bike, and we can travel back, but suddenly when we were out of fuel without realizing that there are other motorcycle sped away from the rear, and then elbowed my bike, we tergelincirlah time. My friend was bouncing away to the side of the road, while I fell with my motorcycle. my foot stepped on a motorcycle.
motorcyclist who nudged my bike, running because he saw people on the street pnggir gathered to help me and my friend. I can not do anything about it. My body was limp after the tragedy, there are some wounds on my skin and my friend, my bike is broken in several parts of his body. To calm down we sat down to rest, after resting we continued our journey back. Then remove the wounds in each other's bodies. Fortunately, only minor injuries that we suffer, and we still survived in the tragedy, we continue to give thanks to God the mighty.

Adverbial clause

An adverbial clause is a clause that functions as an adverb. In other words, it contains a subject (explicit or implied) and a predicate, and it modifies a verb.
  • I saw Joe when I went to the store. (explicit subject I)
  • He sat quietly in order to appear polite. (implied subject he)
According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as adjuncts or disjuncts. In these functions they are like adverbial phrases, but due to their potentiality for greater explicitness, they are more often like prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk,1990):
  • We left after the speeches ended. (Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase, or prepositional phrase?)
  • We left after the end of the speeches.(Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase, or prepositional phrase?)
Contrast adverbial clauses with adverbial phrases, which do not contain a clause.
  • I like to fly kites for fun.
