I rushed along in panic.I was late again, and today was the one day that I really couldn't be late.I had to be at school at 9 o' clock for the Ancient Greek exam, the reason I had been studying the whole night before. I reached the bus station and started waiting, in terror that I will be disqualified.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the bus still wasn't there.I decided to ask a random man I saw going into his car.After I asked him if he could take me to my school and he stammered, ''S-sure, but why would you want to go to school today in such a hurry?'' I answered quickly, ''It doesn't matter, just take me there.'' For a split second he glared at me in anger, but then he just started the car. I was thinking that I had been a bit rude to him. I looked out from the window, hoping to finally reach my destination and just take the exam.Suddenly, a car popped out from nowhere and hit the car that I was in, in extremely high speed.The two cars were destroyed, but the people that were in the cars were all fine.I got out of the car quickly and saw that the other driver was drunk, but I didn't have time to do something and from there I could easily go to school on foot.I started running to my school while I was yelling ''Thank you for the ride!'' I finally reached my school, but the gates were closed
I started thinking that I was too late, but when I looked at my watch, I saw that it was 8:57! I was trying to understand what had happened when my mobile started ringing.It was my friend,I picked it up and he said,''Hey,good morning,would you like to come to my place to study together for the Ancient Greek exam we have tomorrow?'' I was amazed and I stammered, ''W-what d-d-day is it today?''. He started laughing and answered,''Sunday of course!'' ''Okay I am on my way''I said and started walking towards my friend's house laughing at myself.

A review
The Tesla Model S is a full-sized, plug in electric, environmentally friendly car. It does not need petrol. It just needs electricity. You can charge it by plugging it in. It.has a lot of colours and a silver and gold dynamic design.
First of all, Tesla Model S has a lot of positive features. Furthermore, its silver design is attractive. It also has a 60kw, huge battery which is under tha car. Moreover, this car has a big, touch sensitive screen. With this screen the driver can watch TV, listen to music and surf the net.
However, it does have a few drawbacks. A first disadvantage is that is a big sized car, so you can hardly park it. It would be better if it had leather seats on the front of the car. Another disadvantage is that the Tesla Model S is slow for a supercar because it has not got an engine, but it has a battery.
In my opinion, the Tesla Model S is a slow, family friendly, environmentally friendly and safe supercar. This car is also in a low price. If you want a not so expensive supercar, you should definitely consider The Tesla Model S.

Parkour and Freerunning
THE WORLD'S BEST PARKOUR AND FREERUNNING 2014-15
Parkour is a method of physical training that develops one’s ability to overcome obstacles (both physical and mental). It involves movement that will help if one is in a reach or escape emergency situation.
David Belle credits the development of Parkour from time spent with his father.
Parkour and Freerunning – These are not the same thing. They are quite different from each other in their purpose and goals. Practitioners of Parkour are called Traceurs, Freerunning practitioners are called Freerunners.
Parkour
Parkour is a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training
Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible. This is done using only the human body and the surroundings for propulsion, with a focus on maintaining as much momentum as possible while still remaining safe. Parkour can include obstacle courses, running, climbing, swinging, mantling, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and the like, depending on what movement is deemed most suitable for the given situation.
Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others. Although it can be practiced in any location, it is usually practiced in urban spaces. Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potentialities for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.
Developed in France, primarily by Raymond Belle, David Belle, and Sébastien Foucan during the late 1980s, Parkour became popular in the late 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, and advertisements featuring these practitioners and others.
