I just woke up 0724
Yesterday I had an appointment with my student LiFang and wanted to give her an English lesson at 9:30 o'clock. This morning I got up early to wait for her, but she didn't arrive on time. After half an hour passed, she still didn't appear. I was a little impatient, then I called her, but LiFang's telephone is out of reach.
Another hour passed and I grew restive. I called her again. And LiFang, awaking from his sleep, said, "I forgot it." My goodness!

I just woke up 0724
Yesterday I had an appointment with her and wanted to gave her an English lesson at 9:30 o'clock . ("o'clock" sounds strange with minutes. "It's(The appointment is) at 4 o'clock." "It's half past three." "The time is thirty minutes passed three." "It's three thirty/3:30") So this morning I got up early to wait for her. She didn't come on time. Half hour past, she still hasn't come. (The tense here is a bit difficult. If you want to write as if it is the thoughts you are having then in the past "A half hour passes, she still hasn't come." Otherwise it would be "A half hour passed, she still hadn't come." So "has" is sort of present ongoing I think.) I was a little impatient. Then I called her, but the phone is not connected. (", but the phone call did not connect." or "but no one answered." "is not connected" suggests that the number itself is not setup. I.e., that the operator says "There is no phone at that number." Calls going through, is similar but could be like a long distance call or some kind of potential inability to connect even if the phone is itself connected to the line. "I called but the call didn't go through.") An hour passed again, I can't bear it. (This suggests that a second hour has passed? Maybe instead "Another hour passes, again, I can't bear it." "An hour passes, again I can't bear it." i.e., that you can't bear it and must call her again.)I called her again. She rubbed her eyes and said to me,"I just woke up". O goodness, gracious.O my!Want to progress faster?
