4. I knew he was going to hit me because his eyes opened wide, he clenched his fists and
stepped aggressively towards me.
5. Great writers like Hemingway and Miller needed to stick to a routine in order to do a certain
amount of work every day. Their days were not all filled with wine, women and whisky.
6. I can’t live with my wife anymore. Not unless she stops having mood swings. One minute

around the room.
7. My boss has set a deadline for my report on sales in the US. It has to be finished by next
