Prepositions of movement.


One monday i had bad strak in the school.
First when i went at the bus stop, i walked across the street nearly i falled. And i walked down the stairs, i noticed my jeans were dirty. When i arrived at the school, and i went out of the classroom i broked the zipper of my sportjacket. Later during the break i walked from oxxo to school and i when walked past the rectory, i heard the voice of the teacher but he only told me off because; i wasn't in her class.
After i walked through the square Xicohtencatl, and i needed to i went up a fountain to call my best friend because she didn't see me, but a tourist police asked me to get down. I was very embarrasing.
When i came back to the school, i walked over the stone paviment and i stumbled. I wanted to visit the church wich nearby, when i walked into, the door was closed, because there was an event. An hour later, i could walk out the church. obviously my teacher punished me because i wasn't return to the class.
That was a bad day.
