9월22일 입이 트이는 영어 Dozing Off

Talk about a time when you dozed off.


A while ago, I had a lot on my plate at work. I worked late the night before. I only got two hours of sleep. Then, I had to return to the office. After lunch, I was barely able to keep my eyes open. I kept nodding off. I had to take a quick cat nop in the breakroom. It was a rough day. When I was younger, I pulled all-nighters all the time. Now, it's a tall order. Another time, I got on a bus after an office dinner. I soon dozed off, When I woke up, I was at the end of the line. I had missed my stop. I took a taxi home, and I drowsed off again in the cab.
