How is everybody at home? Mom, how are the flowers? Beautiful I am sure. And Ken,
how is his arm? I hope it is okay. Remember! Basketball is just a game. Dad, thanks
for the check. My classes are terrific this year! Especially journalism.
Send my love to grandma and grandpa,
Love, Judy

6. Read the following text and choose the best option for each question below.

a. Last week, there was one really, really bad day. It was Monday. Usually, there are
about 25 students in my class, but that day, there were only 5 people! It wasn't warm.
 In fact, it was really cold. It was raining a lot. It was dark and gray outside. There wasn't
any sunshine. I think the students weren't at school because they were sick. They were
at home. Maybe they were in bed.

Mr. Jibbit is our teacher. He is always at school. He is never at home on a Monday.

Last Monday was no different. He was not in bed. He was in the classroom, and he
was cold! Why was he so cold? That's a very good question. He was cold because the
heater in the school was broken. It was freezing. The school was like a refrigerator. Our
room was like a freezer! And poor Mr. Jibbit was like ice! The small class was cold,
cold, cold!

The next days were much warmer. The heater was fixed on Tuesday, so everything
was ok. There were 25 students, not only 5. But where was Mr. Jibbit? He wasn't there.
He was at home, sick in bed!
