As I was walking through Warsaw looking for things to photograph, I came across a stack of old books and papers that someone had thrown out. Among them I found a notebook filled with exercises written for an English class. The class took place from October 1983 to June 1984. The phrases that are included in this project are fragments from the notebook.

She asks me not to go.

We asked him what countries he had visited.
