Blue Suede Shoes

When I was in junior high school, suede shoes became fashionable. They were a little expensive, but I really wanted some. My mother really liked Elvis Presley. I learned to sing his song, Blue Suede Shoes. Every day I sang the song many times. This made my mother happy, so she bought me the shoes.

I was so proud of my suede shoes. I wore them everywhere.

Do you like suede shoes? Do you like Elvis? What was fashionable when you were in junior high school?

Wearing Shoes Outside

I work at seven schools. I keep one pair of shoes at each school. These shoes are for wearing inside. Normally, we only wear these shoes inside.

Today I will wear them outside! Why? Because we will have an earthquake safety drill. After we hear an announcement, we will pretend there is an earthquake. We will hurry outside with our inside shoes on.

After the drill, we must clean our shoes, so we can wear them inside again.
