The phone woke Kim up. She answered the call almost immediately, after the _______THREE_______ beep, because she was expected her mother to call. But it wasn’t her. The voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar but Kim _________NOT/CAN_________ remember who it belonged to.
“Hello,” the lady said.
“Can I speak to Mrs. Len?”
“I’m sorry but she’s not at home. She’s out. She _________WALK_________ in the park.”
It was very cold out-of-doors and everything _________COVER_________ in snow but Kim’s mother walked in all weathers. She believed that it _________HELP_________ her keep fit and gave her extra energy. She actually looked younger than other _________WOMAN_________ of her age and that was probably because of her walking.
“Can I take a message?” Kim asked politely.
“No. I ________CALL__________ her later. When is she going to be back?”
“She normally _________COME_________ home at five.”
“Fine,” came the answer and the phone went dead.
Kim felt a bit hurt. “It’s not polite to break off a conversation like that,” she thought to herself. If I _________BE_________ older, I would explain to that lady how to talk to people politely.”
