Extract 1 (Textbook pages 189 and 190)
Scene: A basement room ........................................................... where they had that bulldog.
Rewrite the extract as if Tom is the narrator.
I saw that we were getting soaked in the rain, and suggested standing in the doorway. Alfie was wearing his best suit, and there would be trouble if he went home in a wet suit. I told Alfie to get in the doorway, and then found to my surprise that the door was open. We looked in and saw that it was a weird looking place. Alfie did not want to go in, but there was no one to stop us, and I called out to Ginger and George to get in the house and out of the rain. Ginger was afraid that we would be caught for breaking into a house but George in his superior manner said that we had not broken in, as the door was unlocked. I said that no one would mind us taking shelter from a storm like the furious one outside. George now accused Ginger for picking the wrong night to go carol-singing. Ginger asked George for a torch, since it was dark. I remarked that it was an odd place and wondered if there was anybody in the house. George also blamed me of choosing three empty houses to sing and then realizing that mistake only after we had finished singing, 'While Shepherds Watched.' I replied that it was better than what he had done - picking the house that had the bulldog.

Extract 2 (Textbook pages 190)
George (contemptuously) ................................................................ keen on adventure.
Convert the extract into a short continuous write-up in about 120 words. You may begin as follows: 'George wasn't afraid of the bulldog . . .'
George said that he wasn't afraid of the bulldog. Tom was worried that Alfie would get into trouble at home if the dog had torn off a bit of his suit, and on being told by Ginger that they had collected only eight pence half penny, Tom reminded them disgustingly that money was a bit tight in those parts. George added that it was too soon after Guy Fawkes' day for carol singing.
Suddenly they were startled hearing a scream. Alfie wanted to go home. George told everyone that they got scared very easily and this quality getting frightened wouldn't help them to become members of the 'The Do and Dare Club' that Bert Williams and he were running, as no member of the club must ever show any sign of any fear. Tom told George that if that was the condition, the club would not have any members, as everyone was afraid of something at sometime. George answered him that their club was for bold young and adventurous and not for children.
