<활용>

Monday wore me out so much . What's more  I was about to die with hunger as soon as I got home. 

However my daughter saved me.  It so happened that she cooked ramyun.

She is not the sort of person who cook especially in the evening. She felt lazy after she comes back home from school.

But apparently she got so much praised by her art teacher and classmates. She 'd been doing her best with art homework.
