Telling a story
Task 2
Once, I did not have money to go to university, and so someone paid my tuition that term. This happened when I was eighteen. My grandmother had just died, and this had caused my family great expense, so we had no extra money at all. I did everything I could to raise the money, but it seemed hopeless.
Answers:
Then the morning that the tuition was due, someone gave my mother an envelope with the money. It wasn't their money, and they wouldn't say who it was from. It seems that some stranger had heard about my money problem and decided to help. This meant so much to me, as without it I would not have been able to go to university.
