It was about 6pm when I heard a knock on the door. It _________BE_________ Jason, my teenage neighbour. He looked cold and upset. 

“What’s wrong, Jason?”

“I _________LOSE_________ my key and I can’t get into my house.”

Jason _________TAKE_________ off his coat and boots. His ________FOOT__________ were wet and I gave him a pair of socks to change into. A cup of hot tea and some biscuits soon made the boy feel warm.

“Where are your parents, Jason?”

“I _________NOT/KNOW_________. I can’t call them because of this,” he pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed it to me – the screen _________BREAK_________ and the phone was obviously dead.

Jason focused on the food again. He took his _________FOUR_________ biscuit and said: “I wish my mum could make biscuits like this.”

“Good job,” Dad _______SAY_____ and everyone became quiet again.

“How long do we have to wait? When will they bite?” I whispered.

“I _____NOT/KNOW______,” Dad whispered back and a moment later he was holding a little, silver fish.

“See?” he turned to me. “But this one is too small. We’d better let it go and wait for the next one.” And he let ______HE______ fish go.

The second fish was _____BIG_______ than the first one and soon Dad caught a few more.

“If it goes on like this, mum ______COOK_______ us a great dinner,” he said.

We kept fishing till noon but I didn’t catch anything ______I_____ and got really bored with it. To me, it _____BE______ a stupid waste of time but I certainly wasn’t going to tell Dad that. He wouldn’t have liked it.

When I came into the room, my computer was on. It worried me since I _____NOT/REMEMBER_____ switching it on.

I’ll be at _____YOU____ place in half an hour,” he said and the phone went dead.
