Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.
Mrs Mei is a very strict English teacher. She wants all her pupils to use correct grammar.
She corrects their mistakes even while they are talking in the canteen or walking along the
corridor. She will then give many examples of correct sentences. Therefore, whenever the
pupils see Mrs Mei coming, they try to speak English without making any grammatical errors.
One day, a new pupil named Henry fell asleep while Mrs Mei was teaching. She walked
towards Henry. She stood in front of Henry and said angrily, “Henry! Why are you not writing the
examples in your exercise book?” Henry sat up straight at once. He quickly thought of an
excuse and replied, “I not have a pencil, teacher.”
Mrs Mei said, “I not have a pencil? Did you say that?” The pupils sitting around Henry
smiled. Mrs Mei said to Henry, “Now, listen carefully. I do not have a pencil. They do not have a
pencil. He does not have a pencil. She does not have a pencil. We do not have a pencil.”
Henry looked at his classmates sitting next to him. Then, he turned around to look at the
girl sitting behind him. He scratched his head and said, “Oh dear! What happened to all their
pencils?”
