Part 5

Look at the picture and read the story. Write some words to complete
the sentences about the story. You can use 1, 2, 3 or 4 words.

The clown costume

Last Saturday evening, Sarah went to a birthday party. On the invitation,

her friend, Alice, told everyone to come in a costume. Sarah decided to dress
up as her favourite singer. She wore a beautiful spotted dress with a long
white scarf.

Sarah arrived at the party before anyone else and helped Alice to get the
snacks ready. Alice chose a pirate costume. She wore a striped black and
white T-shirt, and had a toy parrot on her shoulder!

Sarah knew most of the people at the party. A lot of them were members of
the volleyball club where she and Alice played. But there was one boy with
funny clothes who she didn’t know at all. He had long curly red hair and big
glasses, and his shoes and trousers were too big for him. He was alone, so
Sarah decided to say hello.

‘That’s a great costume! You really look like a clown,’ Sarah said. But the
boy didn’t say anything. He just turned around and walked away. Then,
Sarah heard Alice laughing behind her.

‘Sarah, that’s my brother William! He’s studying this evening and he came
downstairs for a glass of milk. He always looks like that!’

‘Oh no! I’ve made a horrible mistake!’ Sarah said. But Alice couldn’t stop
laughing. ‘Don’t worry, Sarah. I’ll explain it to him later,’ she said.
