<span>One morning, Amber (1) waked up early. The sun (2) was
shining and the birds (3) were singing . Amber (4) was very excited because it
was the day of the big tennis match. Amber (5) went downstairs and into the
kitchen,where her father(6) was having breakfast. ‘Morning, Amber. Today’s the
day!’ he (7) said. Amber smiled nervously. ‘Don’t worry!’he (8) continued. ‘You’ll
be fine.’ Amber (9) put some toast into the toaster and (10) opened the fridge.
Just as she (11) was getting the butter out, the phone (12) rang. Her father
(13) answered it. After a few minutes, he put the phone down.‘Bad news, I’m
afraid. The other player (14) was practising yesterday when she had an accident.
The match is off.’
Amber ate her toast slowly. She was surprised she didn’t feel disappointed.</span>
