A possible answer
A true eccentric
Mr. Chew is a man who has lived in our small town for years. He is a large man (some would say \clothes—black trousers, a white shirt and a red waistcoat, and is always po-lite to everyone he
meets.
He owns an antiques shop near the river, and he lives \gets his things, but there are always lots of different interesting antiques in the shop window every week.
Mr. Chew is interested in politics, too. Every week he puts up strange notices in his shop window to passers-by. Usually the notices are trying to make people save a local building or stop a plan to build a road through the town. Every time there is a national election, he automatically stands for parliament and gives speeches almost every day in the town park saying what he would do if he were Prime Minis-ter. (He usually says he would make sure that antiques dealers did not have to
pay Income Tax and that no cars should be allowed into our little town at all. ) Every year he gets a few votes, but not enough to worry the serious candidates.
For most people Mr. Chew is a harmless eccentric, and everyone likes talking to him. After all, he is someone who adds colour to the dull routine of their daily lives. (248words)

The last day
The journey has gone well so far. We are now on the way to Russia and hope that we shall arrive with no more problems. But we are watching the sea and sky. The convoy successfully fought off an air attack early this morning. No ships were lost and we managed to shoot , down three
enemy aircraft before they broke off the attack.
At 10 a. m. this morning we were attacked by a U-boat. This was the first time we had been attacked and for most men on board this was the first time they had been in action at sea. We were fortunate, but the ship ahead of us, the Dauntless, was torpedoed and sunk. After the ship sank, there were hundreds of men in the sea.

Lesson 33 A day to remember
Key to Composition
A possible answer
Mistaken identity
We have all experienced days when everything seems to go wrong. Things certainly went wrong for Ray, a friend of mine, one day last month. It all started, as these things do, with a simple case of \cels when he got back to
the multi-storey car park to look for his car. He knew he was on the correct level, but he couldn't see his car any-where.
Then, suddenly, while he was looking, he saw one exactly like it. It was a red Nissan. It was exactly the same as his own car, and naturally he mistook it for his own. Still holding the parcels, he felt in his jacket pockets and found his key. He tried to open the driver's door, but the key just wouldn't turn. He couldn't understand it. In the end, he forced the lock — and naturally broke the key.
At that point he dropped the parcels as well. This infuriated him. The only way he could get into his car was to break a window, so he deliberately smashed the window of the car. As he was putting his hand in, the owner came back and saw him. The owner rushed to-wards Ray, held him
against the car, and called a policeman on his mobile phone.
When Ray was arrested, he tried to explain, but the police did not believe him — until they found Ray's car on a level below! (246words)

Key to Composition
A possible answer
An antique shop
\across the road, it draws you to-wards it. It has one large window display designed to attract all
sorts of customers. There is expensive glass, porcelain and jewellery to at-tract people with a lot
of money; there is second-hand furniture, modem silver and other things (hardly antique!) to attract those with not so much.
When you enter the shop, a little bell rings and the owner, a little grey-haired old lady called Mrs, Century, comes out from a room at the back and greets you like a lost relative! She greets everyone the same and always with a smile.
The shop sells all kinds of antiques. There are shelves full of old books along the back of the shop. There are two large tables in the middle of the shop covered with pieces of glass and porcelain. Then, around the walls on the floor are large pots, brass statues and things. There are lots of painting on the walls, too. At the weekend, the shop usually has five or six customers in it at one time. You might find a professional antique collector, a holiday couple and a young mother (with child in pram) looking for a cheap antique for her husband's birthday.
We all like looking for unusual things and hope to find a bargain one day. You might find one in Mrs. Century's \
Lesson 35 Justice was done
Key to Composition
A possible answer
A burglary that went wrong
There is a large jewellery store in the town that I have often wanted to rob. A few weeks ago I started planning the theft and kept a close watch on the shop. I noticed when people went in and out, when they started and finished work, and so on. And I noticed the chimneys, too.
One night I climbed onto the roof of the store and looked for a way in. One of the chimneys seemed wide enough for me to get in, ss I started climbing down. Very soon, however, I got stuck and had to climb out again. I didn't give up. I looked around, found another chimney that looked quite wide at the top and climbed down that one. Again I got stuck.
This time, however, I was really stuck. I could climb neither up nor down. At first I struggled to try to free myself, but I couldn't get out. Then I started to get scared and started sweating. I tried to calm myself by quietly counting and thinking of pleasant things. But nothing worked and finally I started shouting for help. Nothing happened, everything was dark and silent, and I got more and more frightened.
I think I went to sleep because I suddenly realized that light was shining down the chimney. I shouted and shouted. Eventually I heard tapping and was finally freed by Fire fighters who had smashed a hole in the chimney. (240words)
