Late-night laughter
Late-night laughter in a city street always made her nervous.Lucy was a 9-year-old girl living in a big city.Her parents were always working, (comma) so she had to stay at home alone all day.In the beginning, she liked being home alone, but when her parents had to work at night she didn't like the idea.
She begged her parents not to leave her alone at home at night because she was afraid of the dark,but her parents said that it was going to be OK and that there was nothing to be afraid of.The first days she was sleeping without any problems and nothing scared her because she had her windows closed.
However, she forgot to close the window and left it wide open one night, and as she was sleeping, she heard some creepy noises coming from outside.She was so afraid from that night, so she told her parents not to let her home alone again, (comma) but they answered that maybe it was happening in her dreams and that nothing was real.One night she heard those creepy noises again and decided to go and see what caused them.She saw from her window and it was a dog which was barking.That day she realised that she should never be afraid again.

STORY
John was the newest teacher of the 15th primary school of London. He had just graduated from university and he didn't know what to do with the children. He had never been with 6 year olds before and certainly never tryed to teach them before as well. The older ones may didn't do that much noise but they were much more difficult to control.
It was very difficult at first, but each day was getting even more tiring until he couln't do anything but to ask for help. He asked the headmaster to tell the children to stop making so much noise and start paying attention to the lesson. So he did. The headmaster went to the two classes and explained them that it was very hard for their teacher to make a lesson like that and that eeven if he did they wouldn't learn anything about it, which was has they were there for.
After the headmaster's speech the children stopped being so noisy and really started paying attention to the lesson. At least for some time. Two weeks had hardly past and it was like nothing happened to them. They started talking to each other again and stopped paying attention to the lesson once again. But one day he let a student try to say what he wanted to the others, but then he realised that it was so difficult that everybody stopped making noise until the end of the year.
Irritating people
I like to irritate people so very, very much. From my childhood I like to irritate people and some people have chased me but they didn't catch me.
I remember one time that I had irritated a young man and he was chasing me for 10 minutes, inside parks, on the roads... But I escaped him and he didn't catch me. The next day I met him accidentaly outside of a cefeteria and he chased me again... But this time he catch me and he tried to hit me but I dodge his punch and I esecaped from him but another young man few metres away from the guy catched me and I punched him. Then he called the police and I went to the police station.
I stayed there for some hours. A policeman was asking me why I did this and I was responding that I like to irritate people. The guy said to send me to jail but the policeman said him that he can't because I haven't done something that can send me to jail.
After one hour my mother came to pick up me and she said me that she will punish me if I do it again. But I will continue doing this thing because I like it.
