Lee el siguiente fragmento de Jina, quien habla de su día de ayer. Fíjate bien en el tiempo verbal que usa y los conectores. Intenta traducirlo:

First, I woke up at 7 o’clock after Billy and then I had a shower. While Billy was having breakfast I prepared some toasts and butter for me. After finishing, both went out to have some relax and go shopping to the store. Then we bought two sandwiches and two ice-creams before visiting some friends and going to the beach. When we were enjoying a sunny afternoon, the sky turned grey and started to rain a lot!
Finally we ran away and arrived home really wet! We had to take our umbrellas before going out!
