A little before three, we were already in the lecture room when our teacher Miss Green came in. She said she couldn't give us the lecture because she had to go to an important meeting. However, she had recorded her lecture for us. So she put a recorder on the desk, turned it on, and left.
We listened to the lecture for a while. Some of us even took notes. But there would be a film at four. We were all eager to go. What should we do? We started to whisper." Why can't we do the same as Miss Green?" someone suggested." Good idea!" many of us cried out immediately. Happily we walked out of the room, leaving our recorders there.
