EXAMPLE

     Three boys are sitting in the back of a college class, and they are bored.  The teacher began talking about the history of the world 15 minutes ago.  His voice was quiet and the way he talked about history was uninteresting, so the boys all fell asleep.  Two of the boys have their heads down on their desks.  One of them is sitting up, but his cap is over his eyes and I think his eyes are closed.  I don't know what the teacher is going to do, but if he sees them, I think he will be very upset.  Maybe he will shout at them and tell them to wake up.  I am sure the boys are not going to learn anything in class today, and I think they will fail the test!  I also sometimes have a boring class and want to fall asleep, but I try not to make it so obvious to the teacher!
