I'm going to tell you what happened last week. It was Friday evening and I was at school. The bell started ringing becauseIt was the last class of the day! My students left the classroom and they were making a lot of noise. I wasabsolutely exhausted. Icouldn't help yawning. That day I had a lot of work and my students were specially talkative because it was the end of the week. I closed the door and went to the car. As I was driving, it started to rain a lot so, when I got out of the car, I got completely soaked. Iwas looking for the keys of the house and, suddenly, I saw that the front door was opened. I started to panic and I dropped the keys. The house was completely dark and quiet. I said "Where is everybody!". I ran upstairs but found nobody. I phoned my husband but he didn't reply.I was so sad, he was forgetting my birthday! I started to cry. While I was crying, I opened the door of the living room, and, all of a sudden, I could see all my friends and my husband shouting "Surprise, happy Birthday!!"
