猶如幾個時辰
As a band instructor at an elementary school, I require my students to turn in practice sheets signed by their parents so I can be sure they are putting in enough time. I had to laugh, however, when one parent wrote on her child's sheet, “Practiced 17 minutes, but it seemed like hours.
Notes:
(1) band n.樂隊
(2) instructor n.指揮

(4) signed by their parents:由他們的父母簽名的。這是一個分詞短語作定語修飾sheets.
