Gary Johnson went to work last Monday, as usual. He walked into the office, but nobody was there. He looked in the offices. He looked in the cafeteria. He looked in the employee bathrooms.

    Hi Amy, you sound great! One word to practice is "usual". Also, don't forget to pronounce the "s" in "offices".

    Very well done. Could hear it all clearly. A little more firm pronunciation of "He" would help but your work was just fine.
