    Basically yes. Being in suspense means you are excited/anxious about something and want to know the result. In your example B is in suspense because A has told him/her about the audition and now he/she wants to know how it went.

    May 10th 2014 Because of high-heeled shoes

    Girls like high heeled shoes just because they gives more confidence to oneself, so do I*.  On the <em>day of the interview</em> I wore a high heel shoes and went to the company.  Unfortunately, I can <em>could</em> not walk and stopped on the half way <em>there</em> because the pain is <em>was</em> killing me.  My feet were injured by <em>the</em> shoes. <em>The</em> Skin near <em>my</em> ankles and heels <em>was</em> raw and inflamed.  I bought some dressing<em>s</em> and stretched them over the wounds, and <em>have worn</em> canvas shoe<em>s</em> since then, loosely tied with bits of string.  But the wounds have not been healed up until now.....It has been hurting me for a week.  SO BAD*, <em>that</em> I can not go for a trip with my new friends.

     

    (equal to plimsolls?) - Yes, either "canvas shoes" or "plimsoles" make sense here.

     

    (can I use BUT in front of UNFORTUNATELY?) - Yes you can, but in this case I think it's better without it.

     

    ( scratched?grazed?) - either of these are correct here.

     

    You can say either "half way" or "on the way" but not "on the half way."

     

    Minor Points:

     

    *SO BAD: saying "so bad" is fine informally but in formal writing one should say "so badly."

     

    *so do I: Saying "Girls like high-heeled shoes and so do I" can imply that you are not a girl.

    Interesting question.

     

    American English is better in many ways because spellings make more sense ("color" makes more sense than "colour" for example), but part of what makes British English interesting is that so much of it doesn't make sense so I like British English more.

     

    This is the best summary of English I've ever seen:
