A rescue action was carried out with difficulty when an old barn caught fire in a small
village near Norfolk. The problems started when one of the two fire engines ran out of petrol
on the way to the farm and the engine cut out 200 metres from the burning building.
Moreover, the foam had been given out to the firemen on the previous day and they didn t
have enough to fight the fire. The time was running out by the time the firemen worked out
what to do but in spite of all difficulties they put the fire out. However, after the action their

A lot of people turned out at the Olympic Stadium to watch the Football League match
where many famous football stars came out to play every season. So when the date of the
final match was given out by the Football Union, the spectators set out early in the morning
to get the tickets. However, because of the great interest in the match it soon turned out that
there were no tickets left.
On the day of the Final, all the supporters were very excited. But when their team lost the
match, street fights broke out. Consequently, the authorities put out a statement that all
participants of the riots would be severely punished. A few months before, a new security

After long and nervous negotiations with one of her most demanding clients, Ann decided she
needed to rest and take off for a few days somewhere. Her boss tried to put her off this idea
because there was a lot of work to do as usual but Ann didn t want to change her mind. She
set off for a three-day trip to a Pacific island the next day. Her flatmate saw her off at the
airport to wave goodbye and wish her a pleasant journey.
When the plane took off, she felt very relaxed and she was sure her holiday was going to
come off as planned. However, after a few hours, due to some failure of the electrical system,
one of the engines was cut off, and the lights went off in the passenger cabin. To make it
worse, after a few minutes the electric wires started to give off a smell of burning plastic and
everybody began to panic.
As a result, they had to land on the nearest island, hoping that the captain would be able to
carry the landing off successfully. While landing, one of the wings almost broke off and the
radio system went off completely so it seemed that they would be cut off on this small island
longer than she had expected. Having realised that, Ann s enthusiasm for spending her
holiday away from home completely wore off.
