Brooch Passion I love jewelry with animals. I already have a fox pendant and a lizard pendant. Last year, brooches became my passion. Recently, I bought a new brooch with a chameleon sitting on a branch. It is big enough. I use it as an accent item with a basic dress.

I remember one unusual and interesting case I dealt with when I worked as a technical adviser. One day, I received a call from a customer who stated that his laptop went into sleep mode on its own if it was placed on the living room table. For these kind of issues, we had instructions describing the troubleshooting steps which should be followed if your computer goes to sleep or wakes up unexpectedly. Of course, I went through all steps in this article, but it didn’t help and issue remained. Of note, the computer behaved properly on other tables in the apartment. So, I decided to take on this case and agreed to call the customer in a few days with the official explanation from the engineers. Next day, I received an answer that if a magnet was placed under the computer, this behavior would be expected. So, I went to the customer with this information, and he confirmed that indeed there was a lamp with a magnetic base installed on his table in the living room. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm from Belarus. In my country, we usually eat fried eggs, omelettes, porridge, sandwiches, and coffee for breakfast .

Let’s say it starts raining while you’re walking. Those who put up their umbrellas immediately are foreigners and are not British. I think it’s quite a good way to tell them apart. You can always find someone who does not care even rain is pouring down. Few parents worry that their children might catch a cold. The British never mind getting wet for some reason. I remember when a friend from Japan stopped by London for just a few days. He/She was shocked when he/she walked around Hyde Park on a very rainy day and saw a white young man was getting soaked without his umbrella while eating a banana. That man was no doubt not British. The eating while walking and not putting up an umbrella is culturally. It’s normal to be shocked when witnessing the two at once. Of course, there are people who use umbrellas, but not using them is all right too though.

A classmate of mine bought some tiny little fish to school for a science project. She brought three, and there was one female and two males. She put them in a container with some sea grass and small stones. It was very pretty. Then, during recess, she saw a little tiny fish swimming around. She was surprised. She kept a close eye on the fish and noticed that the female was giving birth. After a half an hour, there were nine fish. That afternoon, she had to buy extra food for the fish. I bet that there are about twenty fishes now.

Could someone check these sentences and make them sound more natural? Please feel free to edit or make any changes you deem necessary We have to reorganize how we do things during John's paternity leave. We have to distribute all computer and physical tasks between us. Thank you in advance

Dear David, I'm not feeling well enough to come into work today. I would like to use one of the 12 sick days that I have left for this year. I would appreciate if you would approve my sick leave until I feel better. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for understanding,
