My brother and I saw this really cool

game being played in the network
gaming shop. We would really like to
get a copy but it costs a lot of money.
My classmate told me that that there is a
website where I can copy it for free.
That way, I can enjoy the game without
having to shell out any money!

I have an English book report due tomorrow,

and I have not even read halfway through the
book. I found a web page that gives a review on
the same book. All I have to do is to copy and
paste the contents of the page onto my word
processor. That would be a lot easier than
finishing the book and writing this entire book
report in one night. My teacher would not know.

espite several warnings, ogs still leaves his

afterwards. Annoyed with his noncompliance, I
decided to move all his documents to another
