1. My childhood was a fairly happy one. My parents were a little strict, but they were fair and they were certainly loving towards me. It was clear right from the start that they wanted the best for me, and also that they had high hopes for me.

2. The room was almost completely dark. She felt for the light switch but nothing happened. There was no power. She held her breath as she crept across the room, stretching her hand out in front of her. Suddenly, something grabbed her wrist. She screamed. A hand covered her face and she knew no more.

3. Lady Matilda sat at her window and gazed down at the rolling green fields. From her room in the tower, she could see for miles around. There was not a living soul inside. How she longed to see a horseman galloping towards the castle to rescue her.

4. Spencer carefully picked up the bullet and placed it in a clear plastic bag. Handing it to Seargent Williams, he said, "Take that back to the forensics people. We'll soon find out what kind of weapon this guy was using."

5. "We need to be ready to attack", said Lord Greenface. "I have received information from my spies about a plan to invade out planet and steal our research." "Who is going to invade?" asked Kring, nervously clutching his laser gun. "And how did they find out about our research?"

6. Amy jumped out of the taxi and ran towards the restaurant. She hated being late. What if Tom had already left? She pushed open the door and saw that the restaurant was lit with hundreds of candles. There was only one other person there. He turned and saw her and his face lit up. "Amy", he smiled. "I knew you'd come."
