9월30일 입이 트이는 영어 Bug Problems

Talk about when you had bug problems.

My apartment is small, so sometimes it gets stuffy. I like to open the windows to ventilate the house. One time, some flies got in. There are screens on the windows, so I don't know how they did it. I tried to catch them, but they were too fast. I didn't have a fly swatter. I had to use whatever I could get my hands on. I finally caught them with some scrap paper. Last night, I was kept awake by mosquitoes. Their whining was driving me up the wall. When I woke up, I saw they had done a number on me. I was covered with mosquito bites. They itched badly I bought some plug-in mosquito repellent right away.
