It was a quarter past Tine Mr. Beet hadn't come back His wife was a bit worried. The super was cold and she had waited for two and a half hours. She was sitting by the table in a dark room. She closed her (eye) and listened carefully. Her neighbour Mr. Turner's television was on. She liked the pop music,  she would not turn on hers.

    Her husband worked in an office. He worked hard so that he was paid a lot. The things in his home, such the television, the computer, the fridge and so on, were all left by his parents. He and his wife only had to pay their food and clothes. They tried to save money. If they ever felt sick, they just bought some medicine instead of (see) a doctor.

    Suddenly the woman (hear) someone coming upstairs. It was her husband who came back. She hurried to open the door. In the dark she could hear his deep breathing. As as he sat down, she turned on the light and found he looked very tired.

    " do you come back so late, dear?" asked the woman. "Didn't you take the bus?”

    "No, I didn't take it. I ran after it and I saved two dollars this evening."

    "That's great!" the woman said (happy). "Run after a taxi next time and you (save) even.
