At breakfast, her dad noticed he put on a few pounds [přibrala pár kilo]. "I need to exercise more," he said. Jenny's mom smiled and put on a kettle [postavila konvici na plotnu] for tea. Jenny laughed and finished her toast.

During breakfast, Jenny's mom put on skin cream [se namazala pleťovým krémem]. "Protecting your skin is important,” she said. Jenny smiled and took off for school [odešla do školy].

The play was taken off the schedule [stažena z programu]. Jenny was disappointed. She decided not to put on a sad face [nebude se tvářit smutně].

Jenny went home. At home, she took off her wet jacket [si sundala mokrou bundu] and shoes. Her mom asked. “Why aren’t you putting on your play [nehrajete svou hru]?”
