Each year the government spends a large amount of money to build scores of roads to link the villages and to make driving easier and more convenient, but so many roads still under the cover of dust make Vientiane look dirty, not so beautiful. When vehicles pass by, the dust at the side of the road swirls up and gets spread around the area affecting anyone riding on two wheels or in a car with the top down or windows open as well as the residents living along the dusty road. Many of the roads have not yet had any sweeping done, so we are still facing with clouds of dust, especially when a large truck passes by. Khamphengmeuang road from the That Luang traffic light to that of Nonghai is a good example of such overwhelming dust. As if that weren't enough, the surface of the road has many severe undulations and countless potholes filled with water during the rain, resulting in more hazardous driving. Two-wheel riders constantly complain about the Khamphengmeuang road with countless of potholes, resulting in car driver’s veering left and right to avoid such holes and thus causing frequent accidents. The sector concerned recently have started some road cleaning activities, which can be seen on Souphanouvong, Setthathrat and Lane Xang roads. They should also do the same for other roads such as Khamphengmeuang because it will do much to make the city more clean and tidy. Pasaxon Van-Athit Weekly. December 7 Unit 3: The working week

In Australia, I worked at the DFAT. Some are called irregular verbs whose participles assume different forms. You can find a list of irregular past tense verbs on the back of this book. Past Simple: Regular and irregular verbs 1. Regular verbs: usually we add – ed to the verb. I/you/he/she/it/we/they worked, wanted, finished, listened, watched and played Other spelling rules: Verb Rule Example Ends in –e (lived) + d She lived in Australia. Ends in a consonant double the final He stopped work at 5.30 + vowel + consonant consonant (stop) Ends in consonant change y to ied I studied economics. + y (study) 2.
