Key to Composition

A possible answer

They got away

Seeing the thieves' car join the traffic on Piccadilly, Mr. Taylor took a taxi and followed them. The taxi driver drove at full

speed when Mr. Taylor told him what had happened.

There wasn't too much traffic at this time of the morning so there was a mad chase through the streets of London. For a short

time, the thieves' car was on the wrong side of the road and hit

another car, but it did not stop. Two policemen in a police car

watched in amazement as the two vehicles went past, both breaking

the speed limit. Lights on and horn blaring, the police car chased

both the speeding cars. Mr. Taylor's taxi stopped when the traffic

lights turned red. The thieves ignored the traffic lights and got

away. Meanwhile, the police caught up with the taxi at the traffic

lights and the taxi driver was charged with speeding. They refused

to let the driver off, even though Mr. Taylor carefully explained

the situation.

However, the police informed another police car of the chase and ten minutes later the thieves' car was found abandoned in a

side street. The thieves had escaped on foot and disappeared among

the crowd. (200 words)

Key to Letter writing

A possible answer (body of letter only)

You won't believe what happened to me on Tuesday morning!

I was walking down a busy street near Piccadilly when I saw

a man smash the window of an antique shop and run off with an

expensive vase. Other passers-by saw him, too, and we all chased

the man down the street, shouting ‘Stop! Thief! Stop! Thief!’We managed to catch the man, but unfortunately the vase got broken.

I'll tell you the full story when we meet next week.

Key structures: the past continuous and the simple past

The continuous action (shown by the past continuous) is contrasted with a sudden and quickly completed action (shown by

the simple past). We use conjunctions like when, while and just as to contrast these two actions:

While I was watering the garden (continuous action), it began

to rain. (simple past)

I was having breakfast (continuous action), when the

telephone

rang. (simple past) 1KS7

The shops were just opening (continuous action) when a car broke the silence. (simple past)
