New Concept English II - 54 (1/29/09)

Lesson 54 Sticky fingers

After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I

went to the shops. It was still early when I returned home.

The children were at school, my hu*****and was at work and the

house was quiet. So I decided to make some meat pies. In a

short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands

were soon covered with sticky pastry. An exactly that moment,

the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I

picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was

dismayed when I recognized the voice of Hellen Bates. It

took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At

last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry

on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. I had

no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang

loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman

and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!

I am pretty frustrated with my sound card and computer. The recording voice is so broken. I appreciate your listening and it is my motivation :).

Thanks.
