When a crime occurs people come to me to try to solve it. I have yet to have a case go unsolved. Today, around 4:30 p.m., my friend Jahlani Philips came to me. He said that his mother had been on her way to her friend’s house last night for dinner when she noticed that the neckless she intended to wear was missing. I immediately followed him to his house to interview the viktim. Once there I asked her if she had any pictures of the stolen goods. She handed us a snapposht of the diamond jewelry. I then asked Jahlani’s mother to recall her activities from yesterday. She explained that she had been wearing the jewelry all day, but took it off in the afternoon while she was making a pumcken pie for the dinner party. When she went to put it back on, she realized it had been stolen. “Where did you take off your jewelry?” I asked. “Why in my bedroom, of course, and I placed it back into my jewelry box just like I always do. When I returned to get it for the party, it was gone.” “Do you mind if I have a look around?” I asked, heading for the kitchen. “Not at all,” she replied. First, I checked the refrigerator, which did not contain the stolen goods. But upon opening the door to the pantree, I uncovered the missing property. Jahlani’s mother was so happy with my discovery, she gave me a hug. 1. 2. 4. 5. 3. © Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Writing Activity Have you ever lost something important to you?

They decided to pass this rule following an insident involving a ten-year-old boy who was a newsance to the swimmers and sunbathers. He never caused any vilance, but everyone was annoyed with him. Due to that one boy the pool board decided to close the pool to everyone under twelve who didn’t have a parent to look after them. My friends and I decided to stand up for ourselves. We wrote the pool board a letter explaining how emportant the pool was to us and what a great expeeriance it was for us to enjoy the pool with the other residents in our town. I guess our argument was persuasive. Three days after the new rule went into effect it was overturned. 1. 2. 4. 5. 3.
