Today, Angel took public transport home from

took half an hour. Her mother taught her to look out ___7___

Lastly, she would have to walk ___8___

worried that she might miss a stop or get onto the
wrong bus. Nevertheless, she knew she had to try ___9___.
Besides, she had her mobile phone with her. If she

That day, Angel successfully made her own way
home. Her mother was waiting for her anxiously at
