Revision, Module 4, Exercise E. Speaker 1.0:00
When I was young, I would often hear my mother singing at night.0:07
One evening, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go and sit with her.0:12
I crept towards the kitchen, where I could hear her singing as usual.0:17
As I entered the room, the singing stopped.0:23
The room was completely empty.0:26
Shocked, I ran to my parents' bedroom, where I found my mother fast asleep.0:29
She later told me that she never sang late at night.0:35
The alarm on my mobile phone woke me up at 7 AM as always.0:45
I turned it off, left my phone on the bedside table, and jumped into the shower.0:49
However, when I returned to my room, the phone had vanished.0:55
I picked up the home phone and dialled my mobile number.0:59
Faintly, I heard its familiar ringtone and followed the sound into the kitchen.1:02
To my surprise, it was in the cupboard!1:07
I live alone, so how it got there is a mystery.1:10
On my 15th birthday, my parents bought me a telescope.1:17
That evening, I spent hours looking at the starry sky.1:21
As I examined what I thought was a planet, it began to move sideways.1:26
I thought this was unusual, so I followed the orb with my telescope.1:31
Suddenly, the mysterious light paused, then shot upwards at great speed and vanished into the darkness.1:36
I knew it definitely wasn't a planet.1:44
It was a cloudy afternoon in the middle of autumn.1:50
I was gazing out the window when I suddenly noticed a ball of fire falling out of the sky.1:54
It sped down to the ground and crashed into my neighbour's shed, leaving a massive hole in the roof.2:01
My neighbour rushed into her garden and hosed down the flames.2:08
Afterwards, we found a rock in her shed, which was later confirmed to be a meteorite.2:14
I often go hiking with a friend of mine.2:23
One foggy day, we were walking through the forest when my friend suddenly stopped.2:26
He pointed to a tall, dark figure that seemed to be walking like an ape.2:31
As we moved closer, it noticed us.2:36
And quickly run off into the mist.2:39
Perhaps it was a strange creature, or perhaps it was just another person who we scared off.2:42
