Before we went, I had to decide what to (8)wear. I asked my mom if we could go shopping for new (9)clothesat my (10)favorite store, American Eagle. I(11)really like (12)their stuff! (13)It’sclose to my house, (14)too. (15)There was a jacket that I liked, but my mom wanted to be sure I’d use it. She said I’d (16)probablylose it (17)because I lose (18)everything!
