Unit 167 Part A English
1 If I don't eat breakfast, I always get hungry at mid-morning. 2 At that point, I find myself totally unable to concentrate. 3 If I don't eat tomorrow morning, the same thing's going to happen. 4 Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes. 5 One shouldn't criticize a person without understanding their situation. 6 If he tries to get away with that again, he'll probably succeed. 7 There's absolutely no way of foreseeing. 8 But then again, one might forgive such stubborn behavior ... 9 in light of such difficult circumstances. 10 When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
