Then, in the distance, a small light appeared, and the sound of running footsteps filled the air It was a young boy with blond hair, a thin face and dark green eyes. He had his mobile phone in his hand and he was using its torch to show him the way in the dark. Every time the boy passed a door in the corridor, he stopped and tried to open it. But all the doors were locked, and he began to look more and more worried Suddenly, he sensed a movement. The boy looked back down the corridor, but there was nobody there. Then, he saw a security camera on the wall slowly tum im his direction, its red light flashing. The boy began to run again. As he ran around acomer,h door. It was a big metal door, and it looked very secure. He looked up at the walls for more security cameras, but there weren't any in this section of the building Quickly, the boy entered the small room and closed the heavy door behind him, For a moment, the boy waited and listened, his breathing fast, his cyes frightened. Then, he took his phone and put the camera in front of his face. “Listen very carefully,” he said, in a serious voice. “This ‘Angel’s Game’ is not a simple game. If somebody contacts you online to play it, don’t! It’s a lie ~ believe me, it’s alla lie! I don’t know Angel, but | know that she’s dangerous Don't believe her!” He looked around the room quickly and then looked back into his camera,“1'm logging out now,” he said, in a low voice. “I’m going all the police and tell them my location.” He typed a number into his phone, but before he could to finish, an angry emoji appeared on his screen. Then, his phone suddenly died, and he heard the door click from outside. The boy was alone in the dark. In the IT room of Wellington Secondary School in central London, the teacher, Mr Hayes, sat and looked out of the window at the River Thames At the back of the classroom, Matt and Harry were playing a game of cards noisily. They loved Mr Hayes’ class - not because they liked IT, but because the young teacher never made them do anything, ‘The majority of the other students felt the same, Some were checking Facebook, some were playing online games and others were watching videos on YouTube. Only one student ‘was trying to work ~ a young girl with long dark hair, called Jess. She was sitting near Matt and Harry and was getting more and more irritated by their noisy game. “Can you be quict?” shouted the girl. I'm trying to work ond it’s | impossible!At the front of the class, Mr Hayes turned around and looked at her. “Don't shout, Jess! You're making more noise than anybody else in the class!” “Tim making noise?" Jess answered, standing up angrily ‘Sir, Matt and Hany are playing a stupid game and not doing their work, Nobody is working. Don't you care?” Mr Hayes shook his head. “Not really. If students don't want to learn, 1 can’t force them.” ‘What? Of course you can!” Jess replied. “It’s your job!” Youre the teacher! peg _ Bi Mr Hayes looked irritated. “Stop shouting, Jess. I'm putting your name on my list of problem students. You're being very impertinent.” He went back to his desk and started to type something on his computer. Jess looked furious, and Matt and Harry started to laugh. “Sir, who's at the top of your problem students list now? Is it still Eddie Morton?” Harry asked. “yes, Edward almost destroyed my computer with his stupid virus, so he'll always be at the top of my list,” Mr Hayes replied, looking around the classroom. “And talking about Edward ... Where is he? Before anybody could answer, somebody Knocked on the door and the headmistress entered the room with two police officers. “1'm sorry to interrupt your class, Mr Hayes, but these officers need to speak to the students. We've had some worrying news, Edward Morton didn’t go home last night, Where is he? Does anybody know?”| The words in bold are incorrect.

Matt and Harry were sitting at a table near the back of the room, with unhappy expressions on their faces, Jess came up to them. “Well? Where is he?” she asked, “We don’t know,” said Harry Jess put her food down on the table. “Don’t lie to me. You two are his best friends,” she said “Honestly, Jess,” said Matt, “we don’t know. He stopped going out with us a few weeks ago.” “It’s true,” Harry added. “He only cares about computer games and making online videos. He never wanted to go skateboarding or play football, so we just stopped seeing him.” Jess sat down at the table, “But he was your friend, and he could need your help now, You must try to find him.” “you're right, Jess,” said Matt, taking his phone. “Eddie makes online videos.

Let’s watch them in order.” He clicked on the first video, and Eddie’s face appeared again, this time outside in the sunshine. He was smiling and Tooked happy. Hi guys, 'm Eddie Morton. “1'm going to start a new game,” Eadie said, with a big smile on his face, “This game’s a bit different ~ a type of treasure hunt. It’s cool - you should play it! I think I know the answer to the first clue, and I'm close to the river At that moment, the video stopped and the home screen reappeared. Matt tried to return to the video but, one by one, all five videos disappeared from the screen, “What happened?” asked Jess, shocked. “someone has just deleted all Eddie's videos!” Harry replied. “This is scary.” == Half an hour later, Harry, Matt and Jess left the headmistress office, “Do you think she believed us?” asked Harry {don’t know, but the police officer was right ~ without that video, it will be difficult to find Eddie,” said Jess They walked silently towards the exit. It was now half past three, and there were only a few students in the school. So, what can we do?” asked Jess. “Nothing.” said Harry. “But ...,” Jess began to say. “He's right, Jess. We're going home. We're not the police. We can’t help,” said Matt [As the boys began to walk towards the school gate, Jess’ phone beeped. She checked it and saw that she had a message. But when she saw the name of the messenger, her heart stopped. “Wait, boys!” she cried. "Look at this!”The message was from ‘Angel’ Angel? my said. “The name of Eddie's videos were also ‘Angel's Game't” “Lkknow,” Jess replied. “Look, the message says, ‘Do you want 10 play the 9 “Say ‘ye me?

Of course it was the London Eye! Just then, Jess’ phone beeped and a new message appeared: “Well done! Now take 4 picture to prove you are there."

Let’s return to school and check his computer,” suggested Harry. “We've still got time.” Wellington Secondary School looked completely empty when they arrived there, The gates were locked, and there were no cars in the car park. “we can't do this, Matt, it’s illegal,” said Jess. “We can’t break into the school!” “We have no other option, Jess,” Matt said. “We can climb over the fence behind the kitchens ~ there are no security cameras there, Angel won't sec us!” Harry agreed. “We didn’t solve the final clue, but we must look at Mr Hayes’ computer. If we find anything, we'll call the police.” Jess followed the boys to the fence at the back of the school, and they climbed over it quite casily. Quickly, they ran to the IP block. One of the windows to their classroom was half open “1 can get into the classroom through that window, no problem,” said Matt. Harry helped him climb up to the window, but while he was getting inside it, Jess’ phone beeped again. Oh no, it’ Angell=o “Look!

They moved towards Mr Hayes’ computer and turned it on. “Look, if’ Mr Hayes is working with Angel, he could know we're here. Be quick, Jess,” said Harry. “Search for ‘Edward Morton’ or the game.” Jess started to lype these wards into the search section of the computer. “There's just the class register and that stupid problem students list. Look, Eddie's name is at the top, then there's me, and your names are on here, too!” PROBLEM STUDENTS. Edvard Morton Jess Charlton feet Jarvis PROBLEM STUDENTS: Edward Morton Jess Charlton Matt Jarvis Harry Barclay “Stay away from us!” Matt shouted. “We know all about you, Mr Hayes!” The teacher stopped, the expression of anger changing to confusion. “What are you doing, Jess?’ “We know about Analyze, Mr Hayes,” Jess replied. “We know you made a system to find criminals with the help of security cameras, Why are you using it to follow us?” “And who's Angel?” added Harty. “Why is she playing this game with us?” ‘The colour disappeared from Mr Hayes’ face. He sat down at a desk in front of them. “Angel?” he repeated. “How do you know that name?” Try searching for ...” Harry started to say.

And what is she doing to Eddie?” asked Matt “she? No, you don’t understand,” the teacher explained, “There's no ‘she’. Angel isn’t a person — it’s a piece of software. It’s artificial intelligence ~ AI. I created it to solve problems and play games.” “And follow people?” said Matt, angrily. yy explained everything to the confused teacher, and he looked very Worried. They showed him the messages and told him about Eddie’s online videos “But you and Eddie aren't criminals or terrorists!” said Mr Hayes. “I don’t understand why Angel would want to hurt any of you. It doesn’t make sense.” “Or maybe it does,” said Jess. “Look at the screen! When we searched for ‘Edward Morton’, we only found the class register and the problem student list with our names on it, Maybe ‘Angel thinks we are problems. I mean, real problems, like criminals or terrorists, not just silly schoolkids.” “My God, you could be right,” said Mr Hayes. He moved to the computer and began to type. After a moment, an angry emoji appeared on the screen, and a strange, artificial voice filled the room, “Mr Hayes, I'm angry ‘with you! You're not playing by the rules.” ‘The kids were scared by the sound of Angel's voice. “It’s OK, it can’t hurt us,” Mr Hayes said, trying to calm them. “That's the first rule of artificial intelligence.” “Angel, where's Eddie Morton?” asked Mr Hayes.

Another plug started to burn, and this one was closer to them, Another small fire began to fill the room with smoke. “you said you had a final clue. You must solve it and try to find Eddie,” said the teacher. “I can deactivate Angel, but Ineed more time. Go nov! Quickly!” : “this is very bad, Mr Hayes,” Angel said. “I can see you're trying to deactivate me.

"They closed the power station a long time ago, but now they're making it into flats and shops.” “Yeah, but there are construction workers everywhere, and security cameras, so it won't be easy to get inside,” answered Matt. “Ler’s try the back of the building.” They moved quietly to the back of the construction area, It was quieter and there were no workers,| 1 Are the sentences the same or different?
