14 Tom: (to the old man) Don’t be afraid. I’ll go and see.
Perhaps it’s an accident. Stay here and you’ll be OK.
(to the guard) What’s wrong? Why did we stop?
Guard: There’s a large tree in front of the train. We’ll
have to move it, but we can’t do it quickly. So this is
the end of the journey for you. You’ll have to get off
the train and walk.
Tom: Walk where?
Guard: There’s a village near here. You can go there
and perhaps find a restaurant or a café. I have to stay
here with the train. I’m very sorry about your journey.
But you’ll get your money back.
Old man: Thank you very much. I know that my case
is heavy. There’s a computer in it, and there are a lot of
papers.
Tom: It’s all right.
Old man: What’s wrong, my young friend?

15 Possible answer:
Dear Mum and Dad,
I have some very good news. I have found a job in
a sports shop. I was going to an interview in a town
thirty kilometres away when the train stopped. At
first, I thought it was the worst day of my life, but
then I met a friendly old man with a bad leg. I helped
the old man with his case and he told me he owned
many sports shops. He said I was the best person for
the job. I am so happy!
Yours
Tom
