Example Sentences -例文

When you are getting ready to leave the house to go somewhere, you need to make sure you do a few things before you go. You cannot just run out the door.

Hopefully you have time to eat before you leave, and if it is the morning, you should have your breakfast. Of course you can leave the house without eating, maybe you are going to go to a restaurant, but it should be something to think about.

You should also make sure you are clean and dressed before you leave. You are going out into public, you must look presentable. 

If you are smelly, please have a shower and then get dressed into appropriate clothes for outside. You will also have to brush your teeth and brush your hair so that your breath is fresh and your hair is not a mess.

As you get close to leaving, you will need to make sure everything is off, such as you tv and computer, or the lights. You will also need to make sure all the windows are closed so now one can get inside when you are gone.

You should also check the weather before you leave, to make sure you have the right clothes. If it is going to rain you might want to bring a coat or an umbrella with you.

It is also important to check that you have everything you need before you leave. The most important thing will of course be your phone and also your earphones so you can listen to music and podcasts.

It is also going to be pretty important to make sure you have you keys, so you can lock the door and get back inside when you return home.

You will also probably need your wallet, or at least you might need it, so always bring it.

You should check what is inside your wallet, to make sure everything you need is there.  Really the main things are going to be money, your bank cards and your ID (identity cards).

I also like to wear a wrist watch so I can always tell the time and a lot of ladies like to use a handbag to carry their things instead of putting them in their pockets.

You might also wear glasses, so you can see properly. If you do, you will need to make sure you have these on. If it is going to be very sunny you might want to wear your sunglasses.

Once everything is sorted out you can finally put on your shoes and leave the house. However, you will probably want to say goodbye to everyone in the house and tell your cat you will not be away for a long time.

Now you can step outside and don’t forget to lock the door. Now you can go and do whatever it is you are going out to do.
