Geraldine is telling the story.
Geraldine thinks Mary has taken her coat.
Two days ago, I saw Mary wearing mine coat. I knew it was mine, because it had a coffee stain on the left sleeve. I explained to her that it was mine, but she said it was her, refused to give it back and stormed off. I followed her as she took the liberty of going shopping in my coat. First of all, she purchased cigarettes and put it in the pocket of my coat. Ugh! How dare she! I hate the smell of cigarettes!
Next, she popped into a "Greasy Spoon" cafe. (Due to the greasy atmosphere and rancid cooking smells, all working men's cafes have that nickname, because all their food is fried in oil or lard.) I peered in through the window and noticed she was sitting down on one of the greasy chairs. Oh, no! Not only is my coat going to stink of fried food, but it is also going to have greasy stains on it!
As I watched, she started to undo my coat and then took it off. I waited until she had removed it and hung it up with some grubby workmen's coats on coat hooks in the corner. I decided it would be a good idea to wait until she wasn't looking, then I could rush in and grab the coat. I glanced away for a few minutes to blow my nose and when I looked back, the coat had gone. Racing into the cafe, I looked frantically about it and noticed an old tramp limping out of another door with my coat gracing it rounded shoulders. I desperately shouted, "Stop! Thief!" Mary looked up in surprise. "Quick Mary," I yelled, "That tramp has walked off with my coat!"
"No, he hasn't," she replied. "He looked so cold, poor thing, I told him, he could have it".
"What! You gave my coat away!"
"Of course not! Although our coats are similar, that was a green coat; your one is brown, so that one was definitely not yours! Can't you get special glasses or tablets for your colour-blindness?"
Prepare a paragraph (10-12 COMPLEX sentences) about your best / worst birthday party, explaining why you remember it as the best or worst event.
My best birthday party was 3,5 years ago (my 20). It was my first holiday after I went to England (about 6 months I haven’t seen my family and friends). The day I was coming back home was actually my birthday so didn’t plan anything. I thought I’ll meet my friends and then try to arrange a party. When I come back home I didn’t suspect anything, first say hello to my family, eat dinner etc. Than my best friend phoned me and asked me to come in to her house. When I came there she asked me to close my eyes and follow her. When I come in to her room I saw all my friends, lots of birthday ornaments (balloons, switchbacks etc), sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Also my family came in after me. It’s turned out that they planned everything together. We had a really good party till morning J It was the best thing anyone do for me at all.
