1. Sandra was in bed. She waited for the postman to arrive. While she lay there she was thinking about the application she had made for the scholarship. Suddenly she got up , put on her dressing gown and went to the bathroom. While she was having a shower she heard the postman. He knocked at the door and her mother opened it. When Sandra entered into the breakfast room, a letter was lying on the table.
2 I'm a member of a group who spend weekends looking after footpaths, building walls and planting trees. We are not paid what we do but we enjoy it very much. You don't need any previous experience but it helps if you are fond on gardening. The most attractive thing about it is that you meet the other people interested in nature and preserving the countryside.
3. We were late as usual. My husband had insisted on doing his packing himself, and when he discovered that he couldn't manage he'd asked me for help at the last moment. So we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there wasn't much traffic on the road and we were able to get there just in time.
