Saying to his friends: I’ll see you all soon!

A
Marcus Manning ran quickly down the street.
A very angry girl was chasing him.
She was shouting his name and screaming like a
piglet that has been taken away from its mother.
The girl was very red in her face.
“Give me my paper back!” she shouted.
Marcus just kept on running.
Suddenly he stopped, took a small piece of paper
out of his pocket and read the note.
The girl caught up with him.
She was very angry.
Running had made her out of breath and she could
not say a word.
Her eyes were black.
“Who wrote this?” Marcus asked her.
“I did, but I did not mean it!” the girl said.
Marcus began to smile.
The girl looked at him and started to smile too.
“Would you like to go out with me, Marcus
Manning?” she asked.
Marcus put his arm around her shoulders and gave
her a kiss on the cheek.
“I should love to!” he answered.
( I setningen "Running had made her.." er “had”
preteritum mens “made” er perfektum og skal altså
ikke strykes under.)

3 WHAT WILL SHE DO?
A
”Will he be coming to the party”, she thinks to
herself.
”And what shall I do if he does?”
”Perhaps he won’t even notice me if he comes.
He will probably just sit and talk to the other boys
or even worse, perhaps he will dance with someone
else!”
Suddenly she hears a voice: ”Will you dance with
me?” and when she looks up she is staring right into
Peter's blue eyes.
Tracy smiles and answers: “Yes, I should very
much like to dance with you.”

He looked at the list and said: May I have some
flour please, and some salt.
Yes, said Tommy, she is going to make a pie so she
needs some milk and some butter as well.
Mrs Tubbs walked to a fridge and came back with
milk and butter.
Tommy, it says orange juice.
Well, here is some money.
Tommy handed over the money to Mrs Tubbs.
Yes, she said, you even get some change back.

5 A LOT OF OR A FEW?
A
There is so much to do in those places.
- lots of stalls with lotteries and competitions
everywhere, many nice restaurants where you can
have something to eat and not to mention, all the
merry-go-rounds!
I've been on the roller coaster so many times I can't
count them.
A lot of my friends think it's too scary but I just
love the speed and the excitement.
I feel a little nervous sometimes when I go on the
Flying carpet. You know, the one that throws you into thin air? It feel like that anyway.
My dream is to go to Disney World in Florida. “But you need a lot of money to do that,” my mother says. Very few people I know have been there.
Still, I want to go there so much. I hope my dream will come true one day!

But Steven, no one has been outside here during the
lesson.
Hrm, Mr Moore said, has anyone seen Steven's
shoes?
Sir, he said, I saw somebody with a pair of shoes in
her hand when I went to the toilet.
Well, can anybody here tell me who it was?
I'm so sorry, someone has made a silly joke.
Somebody hid your shoes Steve.
Nobody must ever do such a thing again!

9 BEAUTIFUL OR BEAUTIFULLY?
A
Just as she passed the local flower shop, she suddenly caught sight of a little
boy sitting on the pavement. He was crying
bitterly.
“Oh dear, what has happened to you?” she asked
kindly.
“I've lost all Mr Brown's money,” he answered very
seriously.
The boy was now crying loudly, and tears were
running down his face.
Mrs Fox thought quickly for a second and then she
said:
“Have you looked carefully through your pockets?”
“I've looked nearly everywhere for it.”
“Well, then,” Mrs Fox said calmly, “let's walk slowly
back to where you came from.”
They walked a few metres back and suddenly Mrs
Fox stopped.
“Is this it?” she asked gently.
The boy looked curiously at her hand. Then he smiled. “Yes, it is! It’s Mr Brown’s money. Thank you ever so much!”

11 SO, SUCH, EVERY AND EACH
A
The evening was so beautiful; warm and still sunny.
I remember thinking I was so lucky to have such a
good friend as Marcus.
For a second I was completely out, and when I
woke up I had such a terrible pain in my left leg.
It was so awful, I couldn't move at all.
I just lay on the ground, so hurt and so alone.
It was my sister who had been sent out to look for
me since I was so late that evening.
She looked at me and realized I was so badly
injured that I needed an ambulance.
I remember her being so calm and rational when
she talked to the hospital.
Well, such is life, people often say.
Still I was so lucky.
Such accidents can end up a lot worse than this one
did.

12 MUST OR HAVE TO?
A
When you want to travel abroad, you must think
about a few things.
First you will have to get a passport.
You must take a picture of yourself for that
purpose.
Then you will have to go to the police station to fill
in some forms.
You must pay a fee and then you will receive your
passport.
Another important thing when you want to go
abroad is to check whether you must have any
injections or not.
For certain countries you will have to have them,
otherwise you might catch some terrible disease.
Well, there are some other important things to think
about such as whether you must have a visa to get
into the country.
If you want to travel to the United States you have
to have a visa for example.
Then you must buy yourself a ticket and you will
have to contact a travel agency for that.
First you must know where you want to go and how
you want to get there of course.
Finally, when all this is done you will have to pack
your things and then you are ready to go away.

13 DRIVEN BY A MONKEY!
A
My kitchen door was flung open by Larry, my
neighbour.
I have been followed by a car!
And it was driven by a monkey!
A car can't be driven by a monkey.
A terrible noise was heard.
People were seen everywhere in the street.
Gosh, Larry, the car really is being driven by a
monkey!
A shop window had been smashed by the little car.

DOING ?
A
Have you been sleeping too long again?
This has been happening for some time.
I'm sorry Mrs Winter, but I must tell you why it has
been happening so often.
Some older boys have been teasing him for ages.
Well, you have really been doing very well, Terry,
