A DAY TO FORGET Unfortunately, I had a lie-in a day with an important meeting. When I was driving, I had a car crash. Apparently, the crash was caused by an animal that suddenly had appeared from the right side of the road. Eventually, it hit my car. It goes without saying I didn’t make it.

A HOLIDAY ROMANCE Last summer, Sally and Mary went on holiday to the Dominical Republic. The first night they went straight to the nightclub. When they were dancing, two incredibly handsome Italian boys bought them a drink. The following days, they had a good time enjoying the scenery and one another’s company. They spent one amazing week among mojitos, music and happiness. They fell in love deeply but, unfortunately, holidays ended, and eventually all of them returned home. It was only a brief affair.
She can clearly remember it was a good day. She was walking across the park with her dog when suddenly it started raining. The dog ran away. She tried to find it in vain. But, fortunately, at that moment, a boy arrived near her with her dog. Eventually, itt was love at first sight.

An unexpected sunny December Sunday, totally cloudless. Our favourite play was on at the Jofre theatre. So, we finally decided to walk to the theatre. On our way there, lots of completely back clouds appeared unexpectedly. The tickets had sold out and, with no umbrella, we finally got absolutely soaking wet that evening.
Unfortunately, yesterday I had my worst day. Incredibly, my alarm clock didn’t work, so I was late. On top of that, I missed the bus. My boss was very annoyed with me and so I was sacked. Eventually, I decided to go back home and, suddenly, I noticed that I had lost my wallet.
It was an incredibly sunny day for January. We decided to go to the cinema walking because there was a funny comedy that we were looking forward to seeing . Unfortunately, the tickets had been sold out when we arrived. Finally, it began to pour down with rain. We had to wait for long….
