4  Possible answer

At 11 p.m., a tall man with 

black hair broke into a blue 

van in Liverpool and then 

drove away. 

Half an hour later, two 

bald men carried an old 

television out of a house 

and waited for the man 

with black hair. When he 

arrived, they put the TV in 

the van and drove towards 

Manchester.

The three men arrived at an 

art gallery in the centre of 

Manchester at 1 a.m. They 

used the television to break 

a window at the back of 

the gallery. The man with 

black hair waited outside. 

Meanwhile, the other two 

men climbed in through the 

window.

Half an hour later, the two 

men inside the gallery 

passed twelve paintings 

through the window to the 

man outside. While he was 

putting the paintings into 

the van, the other two came 

out of the gallery. After that, 

they all got into the van and 

drove away very fast.

The owner of the gallery 

arrived for work as usual at 

nine o’clock in the morning. 

She found that some of the 

best and most expensive 

paintings weren’t there and 

then she telephoned the 

police.

2  When it happened, some 

people were working and 

other people were fishing. 

  A black cloud fell on 

Plymouth and covered it 

with ash. No one died when 

the volcano  erupted then, 

but two years later a bigger 

eruption killed some people 

and injured others. The 

islanders have found life 

very hard since then and a 

lot of them left in 1997. Eight 

years after that, the first 

planes arrived at the new 

airport and people hope 

that life is going to be better 

again.
