🕵️ 2. Check

Read the text. Was your guess correct? Or do you need to change it?

3. Practice: The Empty Spot

Part 1: Read the Beginning

"Sok walked out of his English class at 5 PM. He was tired but happy. He walked to the big mango tree where he always parks his motorbike. He looked at the spot. It was empty. His motorbike was gone!"

What do you predict happened?

Part 2: The Ending

"Sok felt cold. He took out his phone to call the police. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was his brother, Dara. 'Hey Sok!' Dara said. 'Sorry! I took your motorbike to buy rice. I will be back in 5 minutes!'"

Check your prediction:
It wasn't stolen (A). It wasn't lost (C).
Correct Answer: B (His brother borrowed it).
