This happened two years ago. At the time I was working (4) in a bookshop. I was locking up (2) the shop one day when I saw this poster for a national business plan competition. It was a good time to see it! At the time, I was working (4) on an idea for a new product which I believed could make children more interested in books. I was going (3) home every night and developing (3) the product in my garden shed. I suppose you could say I was running (3) a company from my own office! Anyway, I remember that I stopped and looked at the poster. It was the end of the day. The sun was shining (1), people were going (1) home from work, the sky was blue. I felt like it was my destiny! I was so excited when I read it that I started running home. My head was so full of ideas that I wasn’t really looking (4) where I was going (4). I was just turning (2) into my street when suddenly I heard someone shout in a really loud voice. I stopped and turned round. This really big guy was running (4) after me waving his arms. He was out of breath when he reached me. I was pretty scared and my heart was thumping (4). He held up a bunch of keys – the keys to the shop. I had left them in the bookshop door.
