Teacher: Oh my god, what happened here? Look at this mess. Who broke this window? Everything was
fine just before the break.
Nancy: I don't know Miss Wilson. I was out in the school canteen with Jennifer. We were drinking
coffee and eating chocolate muffins.
Teacher: What about you, Donald? Where were you during the break and what were you doing?
Donald: Well, I was in the garden with some boys. We were playing hide and seek together.
Teacher: How about you, girls? Were you all in the classroom during the break time?
Dorothy: No, Miss Wilson. I was in the library during the break. I was looking for a biography book
about Thomas Edison, but I couldn't find it.
Amanda: I wasn't in the classroom, either. I was in our maths teacher, Mr. Allen's office. I was talking
to him about the maths project. I needed some help with the presentation.
Teacher: Oh, I see. Stephen, Larry and Katherine?
Stephen: I was crying on the bench under the tree in the garden because I fell down while I was playing
tag with my friends and hurt my knee.
Larry: I was running back home during the break, Miss Wilson. I forgot to take my science notebook
this morning and I went back home and took it.
Katherine: I was in the music room with a few friends. Our music teacher, Mr. Hall was playing the
piano and we were listening to him.
Teacher: Were you sitting in the classroom, Kevin?
Kevin: No, I wasn't. I was in the school lab during the break. I was helping my younger brother and his
classmates with doing an experiment.
Teacher: How about you, Samantha and Bradley? Where were you and what were you doing?
Samantha: I was drawing a picture of the pine tree and the birdhouse near the playground.
Bradley: I was preparing a poster about nature and endangered animals in the library with a group of
friends. We were trying to find some effective slogans.
Teacher: That's so nice, Bradley. I like the idea. I can help you with it if you want. How about you,
Frank? Were you out during the break?
Frank: No, I wasn't, Miss Wilson. Well, I know it's not right, but Ryan and I was playing baseball in the
classroom during the break and I broke the window. I'm so sorry, Miss Wilson.
Ryan: Yes, teacher. We are very sorry. We can have the window glass replaced if you wish.
Teacher: OK, Frank and Ryan. I think I'll need to talk to you and your parents for it.
