Once I suddenly found my longtime (use) umbrella “disappeared” I really got lost and regretted quite some time my own carelessness.
Several days later, out of my (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it.

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means (come) to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hang out outside.all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone.

A headmaster of an elementary school said that there was a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys(attach). He was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys he slowly learned were house keys.
He began talking to the children who had them. Then he learned the influence working couples and single parents were having their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own (safe).
The most common way latchkey children deal with this is by hiding. It might be in a bathroom, under a bed in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll watch it with the volume turned up high. Most parents don’t realize(it) effect on their children and most parents are slow to admit the fact they leave their children alone.
