A  Motorist Jeremy Page had to pay a
fine of £330 at Durham Magistrate's Court yesterday for speeding. Police
stopped him on the motorway when he was travelling at 120 miles an hour. The
speed limit on motorways is 70 miles an hour. 'I know I was driving fast,' he
explained to the court. 'This was because I was late for work.) The judge said
that this was no excuse.
B  Yesterday afternoon a 35-year-old
housewife narrowly escaped death when a tree blew over and fell onto her house,
completely destroying it. 'I was working in the garden at the time,' she
explained. 'It was quite windy. I heard a strange noise coming from our tree.
The bottom of the tree was slowly moving. Suddenly the wind blew a little
stronger and I watched it crash onto the roof.' The
while
their house is rebuilt.
C  Yesterday afternoon thieves stole
£500 from a post office in Preston, Lancashire. Police do not have a good
description of the two men because they were wearing masks, but they know that
they escaped in a red Ford Cortina. This information came from an I I -year-old
boy, Charlie Carrack, who was coming home from school at the time.

Dear
Sir or Madam
I saw
your advertisement for English classes in this month's English 7bday magazine
and I am interested in coming to your school this summer. I have studied English for three
years but I have never been to England and I feel that this is now necessary,
especially to improve my pronunciation. Please could you send me more
information about your courses, and an application form? I would also like some
information about accommodation.
I look
forward to hearing from you.
Yours
faithfully

Paragraph I gives the advantages of travelling by train.
Paragraph
2 gives the disadvantages of travelling by train.
Paragraph
3 is the conclusion. 3 Travelling by train has many advantages. First of all,
there are no stressful traffic jams, and trains are fast and comfortable. Also,
you can use the time in different ways. You can just sit and read, for example,
or watch the world go by. You can work, or you can have a meal or a snack in
the buffet car.
However) travelling by train also has some disadvantages. Firstly, it is
expensive and the trains are sometimes crowded and delayed. Secondly, you have
to travel at certain times and trains cannot take you from door to door. You
need a bus or a taxi, for example, to take you to the railway station.
Despite the disadvantages, I prefer travelling by train to travelling by
car because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination.

I Last Monday morning, Sarah Brown was in her bedroom
getting ready to go to work, when suddenly she saw a mouse in her handbag. She
was very scared of mice, so she screamed.
2
Then she had a
good idea. She left the room quietly and ran downstairs to look for her cat,
Tiger. He would catch the mouse.
3
At first, she
couldn't find him anywhere, but finally she found him sleeping under the
kitchen table. She picked him up quickly and ran upstairs back to her bedroom.
4
In the bedroom,
Sarah put Tiger down on the floor. Then she waited outside the door.
Unfortunately, Tiger was scared of mice too, so he ran out of the room and
jumped into Sarah's arms.

in the fridge.

very tired.
