I just decided to review the words I [updated] before. I just decided to review the words I [updated] before.

“Updated” seems odd. In what way did you update them?

ALSO POSSIBLE: I just decided to review the words I updated beforemy previously updated vocabulary list. ALSO POSSIBLE: I just decided to review my previously updated vocabulary list.

NOTE: The original is possible, but this is smoother. If possible, avoid repeating the word "I" twice in the same sentence.

I just decided to review the words I updaposted before. I just decided to review the words I posted before.

Not sure what you mean by 'updated', but if you're talking about the list of words you posted yesterday, then you would probably say 'posted' or 'shared' or something along those lines.

What a lazy girl, and what a reasonable excuse! What a lazy girl, and what a reasonable excuse!

What excuse do you mean?

MY GUESS: What a lazy girl, and what a unreasonable excuse! MY GUESS: What a lazy girl and unreasonable excuse!

COMMENT: My guess is that you are offering an "unreasonable" excuse. (The logic is strange if the excuse is "reasonable.")

WhatI'm such a lazy girl, and what aI didn't have any reasonable excuse! I'm such a lazy girl, I didn't have any reasonable excuse!

I don't know which excuse you're referring to, but judging by the fact that you're calling a girl 'lazy', I'll assume that she didn't have a reasonable excuse. Who is the lazy girl? If the lazy girl is you, then "I'm such a lazy girl" would fit better (we don't usually use third-person in English to refer to ourselves), or if you're happy with sounding like you've come from the 1800s, "What a lazy girl am I!" could also work. I've assumed that the lazy girl is you, but if the lazy girl is someone else, then it'd probably be best to tell us who that person is. It'd also be nice if you could tell us why you need an excuse: has it been a long time since you posted the words? Do you have a test coming up that you need to know those words for?

Our library is closed today, so I went to a classroom to revisew for my test. Our library is closed today, so I went to a classroom to revise for my test.

Closed could imply permanence like it’s shut forever, “is closed” is temporary which is what I think you want. Revise is the more British way of saying it 🇬🇧

Our library (was) closed today, so I went to a classroom to review for my test. Our library (was) closed today, so I went to a classroom to review for my test.

If you mean the library was open today but then at some point it closed and won’t open again for some time (until next term, for example), then your original wording is fine. But if you mean the library didn’t open at all today, then add “was”: “our library was closed today.”

Our library was closed today, so I went to a classroom to review for my test. Our library was closed today, so I went to a classroom to review for my test.

It's no wasn’t a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour. It wasn’t a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour.

Still in past tense.

It' was not a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour. It was not a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour.

It' was not a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour. It was not a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour.

It's no wasn't a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour. It wasn't a big task, and I finished all of it in an hour.

It's best to keep tenses regular: if you've already finished it, then it "was" a big task.

In the U.S., we call it a cafeteria.

AMERICAN ENGLISH: Since forty minutes remain before the cafeteria opens, I'm thinking about going out for a walk.

Never a plural :) In the UK we say “wagwan boss” as a greeting, or if someone is being a bit naughty or cheeky you can call them a “cheeky chappie”

"Drongo" (meaning 'idiot') is a personal favourite of mine, though most people outside of Australia probably wouldn't have a clue what it means! Slang varies a lot depending on where you go - was there any place you want to learn the slang of? Online slang is probably the most useful nowadays, but I think you've got a good grasp on it judging by the way you've written this sentence!

Thanks! Thanks!
