  6. Narrative Tenses Exercises One evening Paul was watching the television and eating his supper when the door suddenly opened and a burglar came in. He was wearing a mask and carrying a sack. Before doing anything else he tied Paul to the chair. Then he went upstairs to look for money. Although he didn’t find any money, he found a lot of jewelry, which he put into his sack. In his rush to get downstairs, he didn’tsee that the dog was lying at the bottom of the stairs, so he fell over it, losing his glasses. While the burglar was looking for them, Paul tried* to free himself. Finally Paul managed to escape, and he phoned the police. As soon as the burglar hadfound his glasses, he ran out of the house. However, unfortunately for him, the police werewaiting for him at the end of the yard.

  7. This happened about five years ago. I was coming back home from Turkey where I’d been on holiday with some friends who had rented a bungalow in the mountains near Ankara. Anyway, we were on the plane and had just taken off when there was a loud bang from the right hand side of the plane, and I could see a lot of smoke coming* from one of the engines. Of course, everyone started looking around, but the plane kept flying normally. Andthen a few minutes later the pilot came on and said that one of the engines had failed and we wouldhave to return to the airport. I felt pretty nervous, but I tried to concentrate on my book. About ten minutes later, we landed without any problems. We had to wait for about an hour, and then we gotback on the plane. Actually it was a different plane, and we were all pretty relieved that it was.
