Sarah and I looked out of the window as the train started moving slowly away from the platform. It was a cloudless summer day. “Not what you would expect after last night’s storm”, Sarah said, adding that she didn’t think I’d need my umbrella. “It’s a beautiful day ― perfect for the Notting Hill Carnival”, she exclaimed.
It was early when we reached our destination. We spent some time walking around the stalls and looking at the floats. Loads of people had gathered along the route before the parade started. People in all kinds of colourful outfits were dancing to the music while others were taking photographs. “Look at that costume”, I could hear Sarah shouting but I couldn’t see her anywhere. I was lost! Next thing I heard a clap of thunder and within minutes it was pouring rain. I quickly opened my umbrella and was delighted that I had it with me.
Next thing, I felt Sarah pulling my jacket. “I’m so delighted to see you”, she said. Soaking wet but happy that we found each other, we found a nice café and went in for a coffee. “Who would have thought,” Sarah said, “that a sudden downpour would be good luck!”. I agreed, grinning. “Yes, without it you wouldn’t have spotted my special umbrella, Sarah!” I added.
Pair Work – ex.5a p.91
Yes, it does as it tells us who the main characters were (Rachel and the narrator), where they were (on the train), what time of the year it was (summer), what the weather was like (a cloudless summer day), and why they were there (they were travelling to the Notting Hill Carnival).

Nightmare at the Festival
One evening while on holiday with my friend Eva, we decided to go to a local festival. As we left our hotel, the sky went dark and the wind grew stronger. “I’ve got a feeling that something terrible is about to happen,” I said to Eva. Safely sipping coffee back at our hotel, we felt quite calm. We were relieved to be safe but would we ever find out who that dark stranger who saved us was?

A Perfect Day For A Festival
‘It was a perfect, sunny day at the festival and it felt like nothing could go wrong.’ My friends and I waved goodbye to our parents as the train left the station. It was a perfect, sunny day, not what you would expect after last week’s rain. Tom and Fiona had their bright red waterproof jackets with them. “I don’t think you’ll be needing those!” I said. “It’s such a great summer day nothing can go wrong.”
The concert had just started when we arrived at the music festival. There were thousands of people there. “I can’t wait for my favourite band to play,” I said to my friends, but when I turned around, I couldn’t see them.
Next thing, dark clouds gathered and it started to rain heavily. Confused, I didn’t know what to do. It was just then that I saw Tom and Fiona’s red jackets and I ran towards them.
Disappointed, we managed to dash into a small restaurant, where we sat down for something to eat. “I’m really looking forward to going home and getting warm and dry,” I exclaimed. “And next time I come to a festival, I’ll bring a jacket just in case.”
B
A Disastrous Holiday
One evening while I was on holiday with my parents, we went for a long drive in the mountains above the city.
I was just enjoying the spectacular views of the countryside below, when suddenly we heard a deafening noise. “I have a feeling that something terrible is about to happen,” my Dad said anxiously.
Next thing there were rocks and stones rolling down the mountains. “Oh no,” my mother cried,” “it’s an earthquake.”
It was all over in a few seconds and luckily our car wasn’t hit by anything. The road was covered in rocks but we decided to return to our accommodation immediately. It took us some time to navigate around the rocks.
We finally arrived back at our hotel, exhausted and anxious. We were so relieved to be back. Mum looked at me and said, laughing: “I thought we were coming on holiday, not to disaster zone!”
C
An Unfortunate Event
You know when you get that feeling that something terrible is about to happen? Well, on my way to the carnival last week, I felt extremely nervous and worried for absolutely no reason at all. “Oh, you’ve nothing to worry about,” my friend Anne said.
It was getting dark when we reached the carnival. We wandered around the stalls, admiring the beautiful and colourful floats. There were hundreds of people around. “I’m thirsty,” I said, “let’s get some cola.” It was only then that I realised my purse had been stolen. All my money was gone. I wanted to cry because I was so upset. Then, I began to shake uncontrollably as I remembered how uneasy I had felt before going to the carnival that day! “Let’s go home,” Anne said.
When we got home, I checked my bag again. I still couldn’t find my purse. ‘If only we hadn’t gone to the carnival!’ Next time I have a strange feeling I will stay home.
