Yesterday, I went to the beach with my friends.I have been studying Russian since last year.A year ago, I visited Paris for the first time.While I was cooking dinner, my brother called me.Whew, I finally finished my homework that was due yesterday.I worked late at the office until 9 o'clock last night.Since I started working out, I have lost 10 pounds.I bought a new car last summer.At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, I was shopping at the mall.I haven't seen my old friend in years.
