Answer 1

Last Monday Angie got up for work as usual and

went to the kitchen to have some breakfast. But when she opened the fridge, she found that her flat-mate Lucy had drunk all the milk – not a good

start to the day! So she had a quick

cup of black coffee, got dressed and

went out to the car. There she found that she had forgotten to put the cover on the car the night before and

there was thick frost all over the

windscreen. She scraped it all off

and got into the car. However, when

she turned the key, nothing happened! Someone had left the headlights on and the battery went flat. She was

furious as Lucy had used the car

last and it was her who had forgotten to switch off the lights.

Angie headed for the bus stop to

wait in the freezing cold.
