Next, read the text to get more practice.
It all started when a man innocently rode his bike into a square in Belgium. He saw a strange red button with a sign: Push to add drama. He pushed it thinking not much would happen. Wow, was he wrong!
Suddenly, an ambulance drove into the square – sirens blaring. The paramedics ran into a building and took a man out on a stretcher. Unfortunately, they dropped him as they were putting him into the ambulance. Things got even worse when they forgot to lock the back door and the sick/hurt man fell out of the ambulance as they accelerated.
Although this is dramatic, it’s only the beginning. Next, a second cyclist rode across the square. He hit the ambulance door, which was left open by one of the paramedics. This caused a sensational conflict between the two men, but this, of course, was not the end of the action.
As they fought, a woman in red lingerie rode a motorcycle across the square. We don’t know why, she just did.
We didn’t really have time to contemplate this because next the police and mafia drove into the plaza.
Their cars screeched to a stop and they shot at each other in a massive shootout injuring at least one man – he bled quite a bit.Then it ended as quickly as it began. The police and the mafia jumped into their cars and drove away. And, as if the situation wasn’t absurd enough, a US football team came and took the (newly) injured man back into the building.
In the end, a huge sign was unrolled which said, “TNT, your daily dose of drama!”



This mysterious group has struck again. This time stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you ("Bloom" is when a flower opens)
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
("Shake hands" is to say hello by touching hands)
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
