V. Let’s Talk
Helen’s Story
I’m Helen. Well, it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents. One
evening I had to prepare myself for an examination 1 at school. I was working in the basement 2 at
my table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor
above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house besides me. What could I do? I was
terribly frightened because I knew that it must a burglar 3. We had the windows open to air the
room, so it must be burglar. What could I do? I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard,
so I decide to take the toy gun and go upstairs. Well, I took the toy gun, went out of my room, and
shouted as if there was another person, “ George, take the dog and go outside.” On my way
upstairs, I turned on lights. The burglar must have heard me, and he rushed out of the window the
way he came in.
Well, I was relieved 4, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I
wasn’t able to dial 5 the number.
