INTRODUCTION I had a terrible time last weekend. Everything went wrong.

DEVELOPMENT Fist of all, on Friday evening I went to meet my friends at the cinema. I waited and waited. Then I phoned them. They were all at another cinema on the opposite side of town! I was disappointed because I missed the film. On Saturday morning I went for a ride on my bike. The wheel fell off. After that, I took the dog for a walk. I lost the dog! I was very cross when I found him at the butcher’s. Later that day, I went to my friend Alice’s house. She was out. I was a bit confused. I phoned her and guess what? She was at my house!Sunday wasn’t any better. Before lunch, I spent a long time doing my homework. Then, after lunch, I couldn’t find it. Yes, it was the dog again! He likes eating papers. So I spent the rest of the day doing it all again. END What a terrible week end!
