Last Sunday was definitely not a good day for me. It all started when I got into my car and it refused to start. I immediately realised that I had left the lights on and the battery had gone flat. I telephoned my friend George and he came round and helped me start the car. I then drove into town to see a friend. I had arranged to meet him at six thirty, but by the time I got there, it was ten past seven and my friend was not there. I waited for him for an hour despite the freezing weather, but he didn’t come. When I returned to my car, I saw that someone had broken into it, probably looking for the radio. Luckily , I never leave the radio in the car ! There was nothing I could do but get into my car and drive home. Later I spoke with my friend and discovered that he had waited for only half an hour and left. He didn’t even apologise for not waiting for me longer.

Part 4:
We have seen photographs of the whole earth taken from great distances in outer space. This is the first time, the (131) very first time, in man's long history that such pictures have been possible. (132) For many years most people have believed that the earth was ball-shaped. A few thought it was round and (133) flat, like a coin. Now we know, beyond doubt, that those few were (134) wrong/mistaken. The photographs show a ball-shaped (135) earth/planet, bright and beautiful. In colour photographs of the earth, the sky is as (136) black as coal. The (137) sea looks much bluer than it usually does to us. All our grey (138) clouds are a perfect white in colour; because, of course, the (139) sun is for ever shining on them. We are (140) lucky to live on the beautiful earth
