School councils and class reps, sentence 1

Running is like a mini election: you are a candidate, you give a short speech, and the best promises are ones you can really try to keep, like asking for more football time, not "free sweets every Friday".

Who acts: you, best promises · What happens: run, be, give, try, keep, ask · To what, where: candidate, short speech, ones, free sweets
