They wrote a blog about what they did the day before for a history website. The idea was to give a picture of life at the beginning of the 2lst century. 1 Pauline, From Birmingham Yesterday was our l0th wedding anniversary. The day was very typical, but the evening was special. I went to work by car as usual. The traffic was terrible, and I was very stressed. The day went fast. At 4.00 I went to pick up my children from the nursery. We went to Pizza Hut and they had a pizza. When my husband came home he had a fantastic surprise for me - a present! A trip to Paris on the Eurostar. I didn’t have a present for him... Terrible! But we had a good dinner and a bottle of apple juice. We went to bed happy. 2 Nick, from Glascow 4.25 a.m. I got up. 5.45 a.m. I went for a swim - 280 lengths. (At the weekend I sometimes do 400 lengths) 9.30 a.m. went to work. Nothing special. 4.30 p.m. went home, and I had a sandwich. 7.50 p.m. went to bed 3 Rachel, from Manchester School as usual. In the afternoon we had history. It was good. Then English - we had a film. At 3.20 we went home and I went on the computer on MSN. Then I did my homework and had dinner. After dinner it was the big match on TV – Manchester United at home to Copenhagen in the Champions League ...3-0 to United. Brilliant! I went to bed late. Read the blogs.

Writing Think about the blog post, write a paragraph in about 40 – 60 words mentioning the events of an important day in your life. I had to play a football game in just one month, found a coach, he said “if practice football every day, you will always succeed”, finally, the day came, I played the match, It was a peak emotional state during the whole game, at the end of game we won.
