           I was driving along a mountain road that winter when I ran out of fuel.I was at the edge of a forest and I was smoking a cigarette in the fresh air.Although the sun was shining,it was quite cold, so I got back into the car and I turned on the radio. The weather forecast was warning against a possible threat of avalanches in the area. I looked up through my windshield over the tops of the trees. And then I saw it. A huge mass of snow was falling down on me!

           b) Amanada was having lunch in a hamburger bar when she suddenly felt someone was watching her. She looked up and saw a man who  was sitting at a table in the corner of the room. She quickly  finished her meal and left. She got on a number seven bus and sat down in a back seat upstairs. When she looked back through the window she saw the man again. He was running after the bus with her handbag in his hand.
