on the bus to school.

Her face was swollen

and her eyes were filled with tears.

Did she notice that everybody was 

staring at her?

Did she see the two kids

laughing at ther behind her back?

Did she hope that somebody would

ask her about her sorrow or

did she want to be left alone?

I did not try to talk to her either.

Do not ask me why.

What do you think had happened to the woman before she got on the bus? Write a short story to answer this question in about 70 words. Use the Past Perfect when needed.

• Hello! Our class today is going to be very short because you have been working very hard these days!

• We are going to use the expressions and phrases we've learnt in this unit with a new function. Read the following phrases:

I'm not happy with the way he talks to me.

The problem is that it takes up so much time.

If I'm honest, I don't really like the violin.
