Dear Sammy
I’m writing to tell you about something that happened yesterday. I go up
at the usual time, about 10 am had a shower and made breakfast. I ate
a big bowl of cereal and some toast and watched TV for a while. Then I
went into the kitchen where I heard a funny noise. It come from behind
the cooker. I go my tool box and moved the cooker
out of the way. The noise got louder but I couldn’t see anything. I rang
my uncle to ask his advice. He said that he thought it could be a gas
leak. When I heard this I just panicked! I put the phone down, ran
outside, got in my car and drove to the local police station. I told them
about my gas leak but the constable lost his patience with me. He said
that I should have phoned the gas company. He wrote his report, then
rang the gas company for me.

Complete the ending:

Hours later, I returned to my house and noticed that everything was


fine, closed the stopcock and went to my sofa to wait for the visit of
the gas company.
