Rebecca was having a relaxing day at home on Sunday.
She had been busy
___1___ her
revision recently due to a major school examination.
She had been burning the midnight oil almost every
night ___2___
the past two weeks. Now that the examination was
over, she could finally take ___3___
time off to rest. Today, Rebecca had planned to
sleep ___4___,
watch some television programs and maybe go shopping
later in the afternoon. She had not made ___5___
firm plans yet. She was still lazing around in the
house, just enjoying doing nothing.
Rebecca was just about ___6___
read her morning newspapers when the telephone rang.
With a sigh, she went to pick it ___7___,
thinking it might be her classmate calling her about
some Mathematics questions. Surprisingly, it was a
call from the hospital. It was her mother. She had
fallen
___8___ while
taking her morning walk. Rebecca almost dropped the
telephone in shock. When the reality of the news
finally sank in, she quickly recovered from the
shock.
In ___9___
jiffy, Rebecca rushed to the hospital. She had to
wait a while before a doctor came out to talk to
her. He said that her mother ___10___
broken her wrist when she tried to break her fall.
Her ankle was also sprained. Other than that, she
was fine. Rebecca was relieved to hear that her
mother's injuries were not serious. In the end, her
relaxing morning was rather stressful after all. |
