Term 1 Week 1- October 7th, 2021 - Class 4 Dialogue Comprehension + Expository Writing


Read the following passage..

Cindy Wiggins works at a small supermarket in The Glebe, St George. Her boss, Mr Springer is away on business. One morning while Cindy was chatting on the telephone, a customer rushed into the supermarket.

CUSTOMER: Good morning, Ma’am. May I have a bottle of cough syrup? My little

girl has a very bad chest cold.

CINDY: (removes the telephone from her ear and shouts at the customer) Hold

on you see that I am busy?

CUSTOMER: Please, Ma’am, I am late for work and my wife needs that cough syrup for our little girl.

CINDY: (Stepping back from the customer) Wait, I hope that you and all of your

family don’t have covid!

CUSTOMER: No, we do not! We have all been tested and are negative.

CINDY: Tested or not, don’t come too close to me.

CUSTOMER: I am wearing a mask so you are fine. May, I have the cough syrup,

please?

CINDY: Well, I am afraid that she has to wait. When the Boss is here he works

me like an old mule. Right now, he is not here and nobody is going to

raise my blood pressure .

(Cindy goes back to her telephone conversation. Meanwhile the customer slowly removes

his hat, beard and moustache.)

CINDY: (Cindy is in shock. She drops the telephone and begins to mumble)

So-so-Sorry, Mr. Springer, I didn’t know it was you.

MR SPRINGER: So that is how you treat my customers? No wonder sales have been

falling. You are fired immediately.

My Most Prized Possession




Beautiful and shiny, soft and majestic- my most prized possession is my flute. I love my flute because I love the way it sounds. Additionally, my flute was a very special gift from my granny. Above all, my flute is my most prized possession because I hope some day to be a world-famous musician. 

My flute has a glistening silver color. It is slender with several keys which are used to play musical notes. It has become special to me because I absolutely love the high tones it is able to play. It can also play low soft tones.

A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country.

Daniel : So Hana, tell me, do you cook much? Hana : Yes, I always cook. I often cook with my roommate, and we always make Chinese of Japanese food. How about you? Daniel : Well, I don’t really cook that often. I’m really busy during the week. So, I always just get something at the shop and get that.
