Richard: I thought I could try something different.
Curtis: And? Wasn’t it fun?
Richard: Not really. At first I was excited. I bought all the
practice. But on the third day it happened.
Curtis: What happened?
Richard: I was playing really well and I was about to
score a goal when this boy from the other team
hit me with his stick.
Curtis: These things happen. Don’t you remember last
year I broke my leg during football practice?
Richard: Well, I’ve got a broken arm after only two days
of playing. So, why not stay at home and
watch hockey only on TV? I think it’s safer.

Emma
My parents were away for a wedding that weekend and
I was at home with my sister. I remember that night
because the weather was really strange. There were strong
winds at first and the whole house shook. Then, the rain
started. It hadn’t stopped by the time we went to bed.
Mary, my sister, came to sleep with me because she was
afraid. She can’t stand lightning. In the morning, it was
still raining. When we went downstairs to make breakfast,
we saw there was water everywhere- and not just in our
house, in fact the streets, the neighbourhood, the whole
village was covered in water.
Alex
It was quite foolish, actually. I was riding my bike home
after a rehearsal with the band. I play the guitar, you
Jennifer
I was at a café with my sister, when at some point, I had
to go to the bathroom. The minute I walked in, the lights
went out. I wasn’t scared at first but then I heard a voice
whisper something. The lights came on again and I looked
around but I was all alone. Then I noticed a message on
one of the mirrors. It said ‘HELP ME’. I ran out as fast as I
could and told my sister what had happened, but when we
went back in there, the message was gone.
Neil
Well, what can I say... I remember the time he ran into a
house which was on fire and, all by himself, he managed
to rescue a five-year-old who was trapped inside. He was
the town hero the next day and, of course, I was proud
because he was my brother. But there are hundreds

of my bike. I didn’t see the tree at all. I was hurt, but not
badly. My bike, though, was completely destroyed.
