1. Marco and his friends planned a camping trip to the mountains. On the way, someone ran into Marco’s car. No one was hurt, but Marco had to call his parents to come get him and his friends. They had to return home, and Marco’s car had to be towed to a garage. How does everyone feel?
2 Jan wants to give a birthday party for a special friend. Another friend said she would help Jan plan the party and also help her pay for the party. But every time Jan calls her, the friend is busy. How does Jan feel?
3. Patricia and Fernando are getting married in six days. Fernando is planning to take Patricia to Miami and Key West for their honeymoon. It’s a surprise. Patricia’s sister will be the maid of honor. She will be arriving from Brazil in two days. How does everyone feel?
4. Mr. Wong, his wife, and two teenage children recently moved to the U.S. from China. Mr. Wong is working in his brother’s Chinese restaurant. He speaks a little English. Mrs. Wong and the children do not speak English at all. The family is living with Mr. Wong’s brother until he can afford to rent a place for his family. The children have started school but don’t understand their teachers or the school system, and they do not yet know their way around the school. They do not have any friends in America. How does everyone feel?
| Tim and Lenny can’t stand each other. They loathe each other, hate the sight of each other. Lenny seems to envy Tim his stripes and Tim is envious of Lenny’s spots. We all have great respect for Leo, respect mingled with fear. Sammy frightens everyone. Even Tim and Lenny keep out of his way, and Leo admits to being slightly afraid of him. The chickens are terrified of him and the rabbits are petrified; they nearly have a heart attack if you just go up behind them and hiss. Clarence always seems to have a chip on his shoulder - as if he has a grudge against the whole animal kingdom. The others ignore him. Everyone looks up to George. Zoe and Pat are very close. They seem to enjoy each other’s company and get on very well together. I suppose they have a lot in common, same taste in clothes etc. Penny, who has a love-hate relationship with Pat, is getting jealous, though. Percy makes everyone feel a bit uneasy; none of us can really relax in his company. We all remember past pricks and so are wary of him. Nobody trusts Charlie; they say you never know what he’s thinking. Dear Henry is amused by everything and everybody. Everyone keeps their distance from Ronny. Everyone admires hardworking Sarah. She impressed us all last autumn particularly. Oswald is very badly treated. Everyone looks down on him; even wise old Orville regards him with contempt. The poor chap, he’s developed quite an inferiority complex, just because he can’t fly. There’s general sympathy for Harry. I’m not sure whether we pity him for his ugliness or feel sorry for him having to carry all that weight around. We’re all very fond of Donna, but she seems quite indifferent to us. (I get the feeling that she’s only in love with herself, just sitting around all day singing protest songs about Love and Peace and things.) It’s difficult to get through to her. Gordon is fascinated by the butterflies, absolutely captivated. They seem to find him pretty intriguing, too. To a man, we’re all bored stiff by, fed up withandsick to death of Polly, who goes on all day about nothing in particular. We detest and despise Valerie for giving us all a bad name. Everybody despairs of Lou and his friends, throwing themselves off cliffs like that. We resent Bruin’s and Bunny’s popularity with children; their dressing up in people’s clothes is definitely frowned on. Secretly, I think we all still miss Dudley |
