1. Yes, I have been annoyed by flies.

When? I have been annoyed by flies when I am outside and they are flying around me.
Where? I have been annoyed by flies in my house, when they are flying around me and landing on me.
Why? I have been annoyed by flies because they are annoying and they can carry diseases.

2. I have been hit on the head by something before. It happened when I was walking under a tree and
a branch fell and hit me on the head. I felt really surprised and scared when it happened.

3. Yes, I have dropped my phone before. It usually happens when I am in a hurry and not paying
attention to where I am putting my phone down. Sometimes my phone will just have a small scratch
or dent, but other times the screen will shatter.

4. Yes, I have had an electric shock. When I was a child, I was playing with a electrical outlet and I
touched the exposed wires. Where I was standing, there was a rug on the floor and I was not
standing in water. Why I got an electric shock is because electricity was flowing through the wires and
into my body.

5. Yes, I have read news that made me angry. One example is when I read about the Flint water
crisis in Michigan. I was angry because the government knew about the lead in the water for over a
year and did nothing to help the people.

6. Yes, I have had something stolen before. My bike was stolen from outside my house. I'm not sure
when it happened, but it was gone when I went to go ride it one day. I think it was just a case of
someone seeing an opportunity and taking it.

7. I have seen people using their phones while crossing the street. I think it is dangerous because
they are not paying attention to their surroundings.

8. Yes, I have worn the wrong clothes before. It was at my friend's wedding and I wore a white dress
even though I was told not to. I thought it would be okay because it was a casual wedding, but it
wasn't. I felt out of place and very embarrassed.

9. Yes, I have come home late before. What happened? I got held up at work. When? Last week.
Where? At my job. Why? I had to stay late to finish up some paperwork.

10. Yes, I have been caught in a storm before. It happened when I was hiking in the mountains and a
severe thunderstorm rolled in unexpectedly. I was caught off guard and didn't have time to find shelter
before the storm hit. I ended up getting soaked and had to hike back to my car in the rain. It wasn't
fun, but I learned my lesson and now I always make sure to check the weather forecast before going
on a hike.

11. Yes, I have been bitten by a dog. It happened when I was five years old and my family's dog got
too excited and jumped on me. I wasn't hurt too badly, just a little scratch on my arm.

12. I have had a few car problems. My car has broken down a couple of times and I have had to get it
towed. I have also had a few flat tires.
