is too old and may not be able to perform his job.

at the bus terminal because of the lockdown. After about a week without being able to
change their clothes, they looked terrible and messy. When they finally reached the airport,
they were not allowed to enter because the security guard thought that they were beggars.

_____3. We have a new classmate. His name is Edison Dimagiba. He wears eyeglasses and
he carries a lot of books in his bag. I thought he was smart and cute. But when he was
asked to read “My stomach is aching” yesterday, he said, “May-sto-mats-is-aking.” My jaw
almost fell to the ground. I was fooled by those glasses.

tears in his eyes. Zeratul was announcing his retirement. Alfred could not believe that a
