　　Unit 10: By the time I got outside, the bus had already left.

　　Section A, 1 b

　　Boy: Hi, Tina. You look stressed out.

　　Tina: I am. I had a bad morning.

　　Boy: Really? What happened?

　　Tina: Well, first of all I overslept. By the time I got up, my brother had already gotten in the

　　shower.

　　Boy: Oh, what a pain!

　　Tina: So, after he got out of the shower, I took a quick shower and got dressed. But by the time I

　　went outside, the bus had already left.

　　Boy: Oh, no!

　　Tina: Oh, yes! So I ran all the way to school. But when I got to school, I realized I had left my

　　backpack at home.

　　Boy: No wonder you look stressed out.

　　2a,2b

　　Boy: So then what did you do, Tina?

　　Tina: Well, I ran home to get my backpack. But when I got home, I realized I had left my keys in

　　the backpack.

　　Boy: You're kidding!

　　Tina: So I ran back to school without my keys or my backpack. And by the time I got back to

　　school, the bell had rung.

　　Boy: Oh, no!

　　Tina: And by the time I walked into class, the teacher had started teaching already. She asked for

　　our homework, but of course I didn't have it.

　　Section B, 2a, 2b

　　Nick: Have you ever been an April fool, Dave?

　　Dave: Yes, I have. A friend once invited me to a costume party. When I got there, I found that he

　　had fooled me. It wasn't a costume party. I was the only person wearing a costume. I was really embarrassed. How about you, Nick?

　　Nick: Well, last April Fool's Day, when my alarm went off I got up, took a shower, got dressed,

　　and went to school. But when I got there, the school was empty. I was the only one there. After an hour, the other kids showed up, and I realized that my brother had fooled me.

　　Joe: He had?

　　Nick: Uh-huh. He had changed the clock to an hour earlier. What happened to you on April Fool's

　　Day, Joe?

　　Joe: Well, I was sick last April first. My friend called me and told me we had a math test the next

　　day. By the time I got to math class, I was exhausted because I had stayed up all night studying. Then I found out that my friend had fooled me. We didn't have a test at all!
