Answers
Last night, there was a big storm, and we had several problems at home. First, the
strong wind blew the curtain, making a loud noise. Then, suddenly, the electricity went
out, so we had to light a candle to see in the dark.
Without power, the heating and the air conditioning didn’t work, and the house felt
really cold. We also realized that the dishwasher stopped in the middle of its cycle,
leaving the plates dirty in the sink.
In the kitchen, the tap was leaking, and since there was no light, I almost knocked over
the dustbin while trying to throw away some rubbish. My dad checked the plug and
the main switch, but the problem was bigger than we thought.
This morning, an electrician came and replaced a broken bulb and fixed the plug. Now,
everything is back to normal!
I was in the kitchen when I noticed there was water from the tap. I turned off the water,

Later, I went to check the sink to wash my hands and saw that the plug was stuck.
The curtain in the living room blew in the wind, and I had to close the window. I also
changed the bulb in the lamp, and finally, I could turn on the heating, to make myself
