1. I have been caught in a thunderstorm a few times in my life but my most vivid memory of this kind is of one that occured in Switzerland a few years ago. My wife and I stayed in Interlaken at that time and one day we decided to take the car to a nearby village to see a waterfall. When I realized a thunderstorm was coming towards us we hurried to the waterfall. Suddenly I saw a huge cloud ahead of us. It travelled so fast ! My wife was sure it would reach us before we get to the waterfall. Hardly we covered a hundred metres when the storm broke over our heads and in a matter of seconds the rain poured down on us. There was nowhere to shelter in the valley. We never felt so wet in our lives but we laughed.

"It`s a very rare edition". David looked at the title. It was a novel by an unknown author. Of all the books he had gathered to bring to the bookshop this one looked the least interesting. 2. My wife and I went out for a meal last night. The food was excellent. To tell the truth, I don`t usually like Chinese food, but the duck was superb.
