Page 38 - Exercise 1B

The kids are doing their work experience this week.

How was your first day?

It was great. I really enjoyed it.

So did I.

It was very busy at the restaurant. I’m really tired.

So am I.

Oh, I’m not.

Well, you don’t have to stand up in an office all day. You do in a hotel.

That’s true.

Oh, here’s Andy. He looks pleased.

Hi, Andy. How was your day at the sports centre? Did you actually do any work?

Yes, but I’ll tell you all about it later. First, I’ve got some great news.

What’s that?

You know the tennis competition that I was in a few weeks ago?

Yes. You came third.

Well, the names of all the people who took part in the competition were put into a raffle. And I’ve won.

Wow! What’s the prize?

That’s the best part. It’s four tickets for Wimbledon. That’s one each.

Wow! Great! I love watching tennis.

Oh, I’m really excited I’ve always wanted to go to Wimbledon.

So have I.

When are the tickets for?

They’re for Wednesday afternoon.

What? This Wednesday?

Yes.

Haven’t you forgotten something? We’re all doing work experience this week.

Yes. I can’t go.

Neither can I.

But this is a chance of a lifetime!

Oh, I feel really disappointed now.

So do I.
