Then the man said there was no way to get the package out of the car.After hearing this, the woman told the man she actually wanted to get the package into the car, not out of it. They finally knew what the problem was.
A) One possible version:
Is it better to sit at the front of the classroom or at the back? Different students will have different opinions, but for my part, I prefer to sit at the front of the classroom.As an old Chinese saying goes: “Nopressure,no motivation.”Sitting at the front of the classroom puts some pressure on me. This helps me concentrate on what the teacher says and writes. On the other hand, if I sit at the back of the classroom, I may not listen to the teacher so carefully. What’s worse, sometimes I won’t be able to hear the teacher or see clearly what he / she writes on the blackboard. As a result, I might lose interest in my work. Overall, my opinion is that sitting at the front of the classroom is better for my studies.
