I needed to get some money so I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(take) a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} it was an experience I'll never forget.

    When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already {#blank#}3{#/blank#}queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. The moment the security guards {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lock) the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd rushed in. I couldn't believe my eyes: this wasn't shopping; it was a battlefield!

    After a while, clothes were flying {#blank#}5{#/blank#}all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Within minutes I had half a dozen people {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(push) clothes under my nose, each wanting {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) the first served. The whole day continued like that. People were spending money like water thinking {#blank#}8{#/blank#}they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.

    That night, after a quick dinner I went to bed{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (exhaust), fearing the sound of the alarm{#blank#}10{#/blank#} would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
