Went down the store to buy some ice cream. Came back to my apartment with some vainilla already melting on my right hand and sweeping sweat from my forehead with my left. Opened my door. Eyes fixed on the mess on my right hand. I listened two voices which I decided to ignore. Pass by the hall and got to the kitchen's door. Voices got louder. What's this? I opened the door and I see there are two old men talking. Their faces show we share a common question: Who are you?. We stare at each other for a while. They see I have an ice cream on my hand which, to them, means I'm not harmful... They're waiting for my answer; I'm waiting for theirs. 30 seconds went by easily. What's going on?

Prolog This texts answers to a prompt within Barron's Essential word for the IELTS Student's book, which I'm carefully learning from. I invite you to share comments. Physical Education: Required or optional? Physical Education is a subject that has been overlooked as it has happened with other school programs such as music and arts.
