Chapter five:  After a busy day 2

Fortunately, the way to the house is not so far.
Still holding onto their hands, they run across the sand and reach the door before the sky opens all its doors.

Caroline laughs and shakes her hair.
The raindrops look like bright shining pearls or small diamonds on her red hair.
Her voice sounds happily and soft.

Inside the house, they close the windows and Bodi go to the kitchen. He comes back with mugs of tea.

Only a small lamp lights off the dark room.

Chapter Three:  The next day

"What for a smell?", thinks Caroline and opens her eyes. "It smells tasty!".
She jumps with a set from her bed and rushes to the bathroom.
After having a shower, she puts on white pants and a lovely white long blouse, puts a little rouge on her cheeks and rushes downstairs to the kitchen.
She stops in front of the open kitchen door. With wide opening eyes, she looks at the picture what she sees.

+ 2. The practice sets at the ends of the chapters

+ 3. The three practice tests on CD (and in the back of the book)
But none of it is perfect, oddly. The description of the test comes with almost no strategy or advice. For example, there is nothing about skippin

What have you been learning from the university of life? Oh, sorry to confuse you with my question. If you haven’t encountered this expression yet, allow me to explain it in simple ways.

If people say this phrase, they are referring to their ‘life experiences’. In other words, it’s about a person who became wise or successful in a chosen field without taking a
