Loose Chair! Today was the first day of my class in the New Year in Azad University. As always, I was in a hurry to achieve my class on time! I can’t understand why it is so! Today, I started to get ready sooner than before, but the result was the same; I just received on time! That means if I hadn’t hurried up, I could have been late. As I entered the university, I perceived that one of my sport shoes’ bands has been opened. I didn’t mind it and went straight to the professors’ room to get the key of the room of the class. There, I was informed that the room we used to hold the class had been changed by the authorities, and we should have gone into another room. So I told my students as well, and they followed me to the new room. I entered the room and the students came after me, one by one. I had just gone behind my desk that I heard a loud sound. Oh Gosh! What was I seeing?! A student had fallen on the floor! His back touching the ground and the legs up!!! Apparently the chair legs were loose and as he sat on it, collapsed! What should I have done at the moment?! I don’t know! I just noticed my shoe with the open bands and bent to tie them. The students near him helped the collapsed man to stand up and gave him another chair to sit. The only thing I could have done was to ask if he is OK! I have never seen such a chair for students but for teachers! P.S. Your corrections and comments are most welcome.

Loose Chair!

Today was the first day of my class in the New Year in Azad University. As always, I was in a hurry to make it to my class on time! I can’t understand why it is so! Today, I started to get ready sooner than usual, but the result was the same; I just made it on time! That means if I hadn’t hurried up, I would have been late. As I entered the university, I noticed that one of my shoelaces was untied. I didn’t bother with it and went straight to the professors' room to get the key to the classroom of the class. There, I was informed that the room we used to hold the class had been changed by the authorities, and we would have to use another room. So I told my students as well, and they followed me to the new room. I entered the room and the students followed, one by one. I had just gone behind my desk when I heard a loud sound. Oh Gosh! What was I seeing?! A student had fallen on the floor! He was on his back with his legs in the air!!! Apparently the legs of the chair were loose and when he sat on it, it collapsed!

What should I have done at that moment?! I don’t know! I just noticed my shoe with the shoestrings untied and bent down to tie them. The students near him helped the fallen man to stand up and gave him another chair to sit on. The only thing I could have done was to ask if he was OK! I have never seen such a chair for students, but for teachers!

NOTES:

• When you speak of punctuality, it's best to say "make it" somewhere. "I'll try to go, but if I don't make it by 4, start without me."

• The key that fits a specific lock is called "the key to..." Also figuratively: "The key to learning a language is consistency."

Loose Chair!

Today was the first day of my class in the New Year in Azad University. As always, I was in a hurry to attend my class on time! I can’t understand why it is so! Today, I started to get ready sooner than before, but the result was the same; I just reached on time! That means if I hadn’t hurried up, I could have been late. As I entered the university, I noted that one of my sport shoes’ laces has been opened. I didn’t mind it and went straight to the professors’ room to get the key of the room of the class. There, I was informed that the room we used to hold the class had been changed by the authorities, and we should have gone into another room. So I told my students as well, and they followed me to the new room. I entered the room and the students came after me, one by one. I had just gone behind my desk that I heard a loud sound. Oh Gosh!

P.S. Your corrections and comments are most welcome.

Those are things I noted while glancing casually, hope someone with better English will point out some more flaws if any. :)
