Cassie froze.“Oh no!” she breathed. “Not again!”She looked at the little green c__81__ on the cooker—12:17. The train would leave at 12:34 and her grandpa had been gone around four minutes. Could she –f she ran like a racehorse – get to the station before he got on the train? There was no time to lose. She grabbed her jacket, her keys and her purse.

Answer the questionsThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. “Run!” I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.About a block from my flat, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn’t realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat and unlocked the door. It had been my wallet falling to the street.I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me. A voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and a man jumped out. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.88.
