Now, what's our train number?
Dad:
T27 to Lhasa.
It's leaving from Platform 2.
Mum:
The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with
us, Betty.
Betty:
So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.
Mum:
Will you remember everything I've told you?
Be especially careful with the door.
Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.
Betty:
Yes, Mum.
I can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.
Mum:
Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
And I've left lots of
your favourite biscuits.
Betty:
Don't worry.
I can cook simple meals.
Dad:
There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.
Betty:
I'll be fine.
My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.
Mum:
I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!
