				| 
 |  
				| Dear teachers, I have two questions today. Please let me know if there are mistakes.
 
 1. She is *parading* around her very expensive shirt.
 Am I using it right?
 
 2. What kind of *leave* is not *personal leave* but *working for the school's honor* when joining a competition for your school?
 
 
 Thanks a lot!

				| 1 - great job! perfect!

				| I think you'd need to say, "She is parading around in her very expensive shirt." (Presuming she's wearing it while she walks around.) |  |

				| 2.  Maybe it would be official school business leave. _________________

				| Or maybe it isn't really any kind of leave. It could just be an excused absence. |  |
