Sinne

I really liked the film we saw last week .

We wiped the board .

Perhaps , we could meet at the institute around noon since I have a few things I need to attend to first .

We cannot forget that farce .

In retrospect , everything was already decided when we heard the siren .

We got few vegetables and fruits , and became fish eaters .
