Homework 2

Dear Amy and readers,

I am sorry that I still did not reply you. I was busy in this weekend and I have a work tommorrow. In Japan we call it Sazae-san syndrome, which means, every sunday everyone get nervous thinking of monday morning!
Do you have this kind of word?
So i will just go for homework. I will reply you as soon as possible, when i have time!!! Thank you for the kind comment again!

Homework:

Over here we’ve just had *1* *the* nice relaxing day off work to celebrate India’s 60th Independence Day. In Delhi it is celebrated every year by *2* *an* event at *3**the* Red Fort which is *4**the* huge old fort in *5**the* north of the city. *6**The* new president *7* (*a* woman – hurrah!) did *8**na* speech although I haven’t yet heard what she said because we don’t have *9**a* TV. There is also usually *10**the* commemoration at *11**the* monument called ‘India Gate’ near *12**the* eternal flame which burns all day and all night to remember *13**the* soldiers who have died while fighting for *14**na* India. All *15**the* shops and markets all over *16**the* city are closed, which is very rare. There is also *17**a* big tradition of *18**the* kite-flying on independence day – people fly *19**na* kites while standing on their (flat!) roofs and try to knock each other’s kites out of *20**the* sky! It’s all very good-natured though.

When I write something, I always get confused with 'a/an' and 'the'. I tend to use 'the' more often than 'a/an', because I always feel the thing/word is already specified. Thanks for your care, Amy!

Good night everyone. Talk to you tommorrow.

Yumi
