old-fashioned comfortable dark light lively modern private

I prefer old-fashioned houses because they have more character than new ones.
1 There isn’t enough room for all our furniture because the house is so         small                      .
2 It’s very pleasant in our garden when the sun’s shining because it’s     sunny                          .
3 The kitchen windows are huge so the room is very       dark                        .
4 We live on a       quiet                        street with very little traffic or noise.
5 There’s a             small                Italian restaurant down the road. It’s always full of people.
6There’s a       lively              café next door that often has jazz bands in the evening.
7 Paul’s bedroom is very         shady            because there’s only one tiny window.
8 It’s nice to sit in our     shady                garden when the sun’s shining as it never feels too hot.
9 Although I like old things, the kitchen is very         modern            .

SCRIPT

Bob
If you elect me student body president, I will provide you with the best parties you have ever seen. The
school has already focused on education. We've already been focused on sports, but I will provide with
parties that no one has seen before. Parties in important for student life because if we don't have good
parties, how can we enjoy our education and our studies. Elect me student president, and I promise to
fulfill your needs students.

MJ
Dear fellow students, this is MJ. If you guys vote me as the representative of this university, I will
definitely promise you more vacation. We have too much classes on one week, and we have a shorter
vacation during the summer. For example, right now we have sixty days of vacation in the summer, but
I will promise you to increase to eighty. Please vote me for the representative of this school. Thank you.

Ben
Dear students, if you elect me as student body president, I will make sure that we have a cheaper way
to come to school, because right now, coming to school, transportation by bus is way too expensive
and dealing with the economic problem's right now, I think we can definitely do with a cheaper mode
of transportation, so ... and also for services, it's not good at all, and I think that we should push for
better services and a cheaper deal.

Susan
Well, I hear from a lot of people that there are not enough good teachers at this school, and workers at
the office are not helpful at all, so if you choose me for student body president, I will meet with the
president to relay the problems so that you can start to hire better staff, because I think education is
the most important thing in this world. That's why you guys are at school, right? So, vote me now?

Julio
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, today I wanted to talk to you about the conditions in your cafeteria. It is
outrageous, that we have to pay twice as much for a place to salad, then for a place of fried chicken.

Universities should promote health, and our university is not doing so. There is a lot of people who are
visiting our campus and, in the world, today more people die of obesity than from cigarette or alcohol
related diseases. If I get elected into president, I would vow to change the conditions in our cafeteria
and make health food available for everyone at reasonable prices.

Mary
My fellow students, we have a problem. There are no books in our library. The library is a very
interesting place, which I'm sure you'll all use very regularly when you want to go to sleep, when it's
very cold and you wanted a heated place, but this university is an academic institution, and every now
and again, I like to be able find a book in there. I walk into the library, and I look left and there are
empty shelves. I walk into the library and I look right and there are more empty shelves. I'd like to be
president of this campus next year, and I will get some books for this library.
