do is just keep (Keeping) quite and close their
eyes. And ( and with out period) is it right on their part
to doing (do) so ? Teenagers are very
confident on (at) what they do and
which(what) they want to do. They
think them to be ( we'll remove be) independent.

2) "So you want other(another) day off",
shouted the officer manager on (at) his clerk
I'm anxious to hear which (what) excuse you
have now. You have went(gone) for
yours (your) grandfather's funeral twice.
