Miranda’s Perfect Day

READ, THEN HIGHLIGHT THE VERBS IN THE PAST SIMPLE TENSE.

Miranda was waiting for her exam results and she was scared! She heard the letter
box rattle and she ran downstairs. She opened the envelope and took the letter
out. She saw her Mum standing behind her and so she read her results out loud. 5
As, 2 Bs and 3 Cs. ‘Yes!’ she shouted. She turned round and kissed her mother and
her mother started crying. She cried with joy. Later that day, Peter, a boy she
really liked, phoned her. He asked her about her exam grades and he was really
pleased for her. ‘Would you like to come to the cinema with me later?’ he asked.
‘Then maybe we could have a pizza?’ Miranda was very happy about this. She put
her best jeans on and went to meet Peter. They watched a great film together and
then they ate pizza at the best pizzeria in town. They got on really well and Peter
asked to see her again. When she got home, her mum had a surprise for her. She
gave Miranda a little box and when Miranda opened it, out popped the sweetest
little ginger kitten you could ever imagine. Miranda had always wanted a kitten. ‘You
deserve it, love’, her mother said. First, Miranda kissed her mum and then she
kissed the kitten.
