Surprise Party

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. He even looked in the basement. Gary didn't know what to do. He walked back to his office. The lights in his office were turned off. He turned on the lights and everybody he worked with yelled: "Surprise!" It was Gary's birthday.

    Almost perfect. Very close to 5 stars, but few words need to be addressed. I listed a few of them in the audio message.

    Very Good!  : )

    You might want to practice 'offices' to put the 's' sound on the end.
