Exercise 2

Story 1

It was a hot day, so I decided to prepare salad for lunch. Outside, the children were
playing in the garden. Suddenly I heard a loud noise, followed by a scream. I ran
outside to see what was happening.

Story 2

On my first day at work, I was a bit nervous. I got up early, had a shower, and drank
some coffee. I was too nervous to eat.

I thought I was looking very smart. I was wearing a suit and my best shoes. I walked to
the bus stop and waited for the bus. While I was waiting, I noticed that people were
looking at me in a strange way. I tried to ignore them, and when my bus arrived, I got
on and found a seat. 30 minutes later, I arrived at my office. Just as I got off the bus, I
looked down and realized that I was wearing shoes of different colors.
