When I finished peeling, dicing and stirring, it was 6:45 pm. I 4)[ ] the table quickly and went upstairs to get dressed. Meanwhile the smell of cooking filled the house. I was downstairs again by 7:30 pm.

I 5)[ ] the chicken out of the oven and arranged all the food nicely on the table. When I finished everything, I 6)[ ] just enough time to go and get some flowers. I rushed out of the house and quickly walked towards the shops. I 7)[ ] some beautiful roses and was back outside my front door ten minutes later. Suddenly, I realised I 8)[ ] my keys! I 9)[ ] round the house checking windows and doors. No luck!

Finally my friends arrived. At 8:00 pm, everything was ready and everybody was there. The only problem was that we 10)[ ] outside the dining room window, flowers in hand, watching the perfect birthday meal go cold.
