The renewal of his passport required new certified photographs and a fee.

My Vocab Practice
1.- When my students and I have a field trip, the children must have a letter of approval without which they can not go.
2.-One of the things a mother of children with autism fears is the refusal of other children to relate to hers.
3.- Every year the contract undergoes a renewal in its economic clauses, especially in those referring to the payment of premiums for children.
Good work!
When I was a kid, if we had a field trip planned, we told our parents and went on the trip. No letter required. :-)
Definitely things change :(
Children in our childhood, were very different from today. Children from today tend to take the permits without actually being granted them.

Beware of sociopaths. They are legion, and they can be dangerous. :-(
Thank you! Yes they are, I dealt with one :(

Just be glad that you can use PAST TENSE (dealt) when discussing that. I've dealt with more than one, and sometimes still have to deal with one.
Hope your sociopath remains in the PAST!!!
Cheers.
Thank you for the reminder. It is a blessing that all that is in the past although the sociopath keeps trying to find a way to get to me again. I hope that you keep minimal contact in case you have to deal with one. Cheers =)

Thanks!
