Speaking Fill in the blank generally annoyingly unsurprisingly wrong terribly difficult kindly. Last night was long. Our piece-of-junk car broke down in the middle of a torrential rain-storm, about 5 miles short of where we were meant to be staying. Luckily a motorist who was passing by, about 20 minutes later, offered to give us a ride to our, to find, hotel. Upon arriving, the seemingly perpetually distracted receptionist gave us a key for our room, which, almost at this point, turned out to be the key. We headed back down the winding staircase and after 5 minutes of confusion received the correct key. By this point it was 2 am, which, as I am in bed by 10pm, meant I was utterly exhausted. www.english-maestro.mn 15
