had (2) that ability, maybe you would spend more time practicing soccer,
learn the instrument that you always wanted to play, study harder for
that big test, or try to save more money for the future.
2 What would you do if you had the ability to turn back the clock?
This was a question which Mr. Woodall, a high school teacher in
Philadelphia, asked his students. Mr. Woodall wanted to know what
was important to his students but was pleasantly surprised to see the
results. I think their answers will be very interesting to you, too.

Another common answer was about pets. "If I were able to turn
back the clock, I would spend more time with my dog," or "(7)I would be

students missed their pet very much and wanted to show more love.
These pets included dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and other animals.

harder, or eating less junk food. However, Mr. Woodall was quite
impressed with his students and their concern for others. He decided
to share all of the answers with his students, and the students enjoyed
hearing the different answers. Mr. Woodall decided to try this activity
with his students every year. By asking, he felt he would learn a lot
about his students.
