	Mister Micawber  +  70379 Thu, 27 Jan 05 02:48 PM They look pretty good, Guest. Only minimal changes: 1. I get tongue-tied, as teacher ask a question in class and I can't answer. 2. I feel a lot of anxiety because I have to get my work done this weekend. 3. When I attend a party, I just sit there and don't mingle with others. 4. He is a responsible person, so everyone is raving about him.
