of bed (2) and got dressed quickly. I wanted to wash my hair, (3) but I didn’t have enough time to do that (4)
because have breakfast too. Big decision! Shall I wash my hair (5) or have breakfast? Breakfast won. I needed
some toast and coffee, (6) but unfortunately, the toaster burnt the bread, (7) and I just drank the coffee.
I ran out of the house to catch the bus. It was raining hard (8) but I didn’t have my umbrella with me, (9) so I got
wet. I had to wait at the bus stop for 20 minutes (10) and no bus arrived. Then I saw a taxi coming down the road,
(11) so I put up my arm to catch the driver’s attention. Unfortunately, he didn’t see me and drove past. I now had
the choice of walking to work in the rain, waiting for another taxi (12) and going home. I went home (13) and rang
my office. “I’m really sorry; I can’t come in today (14) because I’ve got a terrible cold.” And I stayed in bed all day.’
