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!

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.
