    Then one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn't have to go to the market5because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I6my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made7them.

    Ten months later, we decided11flowers. My mother and I couldn't make enough candles during the week, so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound12every candle, and we 13sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.

 Betty and Carl wanted to go on a holiday. They chose a place called Maldives(马尔代夫). And they decided to 1 there for two weeks in spring, because they heard that the weather there was 2 at that time. They worked very hard for several3 . At last, they made enough money for their 4 trip. But their trip was more like a nightmare(噩梦)!
