THE WRONG CLOTHES My friend’s wedding reception was definitely a memorable event for me. Expecting a lavish party, I bought a fabulous evening dress with a pair of shoes to 9_________________. I was terribly determined to make a good impression and I felt it was important to be dressed properly for such an wojoccasion. On the big day, I turned up at the hotel where the reception was 10_________________ held. I knew I looked gorgeous. However, the moment I stepped into the reception room, I couldn’t believe my eyes. 11_________________ was wearing any formal clothes. The guests were dressed in Hawaiian shirts and skirts or shorts with garlands of flowers around their necks. I looked at the invitation again and realized that I hadn’t read it properly. 12_________________ the bottom of the invitation, in small print, the hosts clearly stated what type of clothes we were expected to be wearing on that occasion.
TWINS It was great fun having an identical twin sister at school. We used to dress in the same way, which 13_________________ our teachers feel cross because they would mix us up and we rarely bothered to correct them. On the other 14_________________, we were never that harmonious at home. As very independent girls, we used to argue at least once a day and we even had fights with 15_________________ other. We exhibited the worst behavior on our birthday and at Christmas. Most people either bought us identical presents or one to share between us and it used to infuriate us. Once we even told our aunt that we would 16_________________ have received no present than the same one. It took us a long time to understand that we shouldn’t have behaved like that. We all laugh at it now but then we were dead serious about that problem.
