Scene 1:

Kate is alone in her horrible house and the roof shatters and she is surprised to see a boy (Charles).

Charles: Don’t worry, don’t be scared. I just don’t know what hapened my flying, machine looks well, but look at this (he shows her his special projector).

Kate: Wow it’s beautiful!

Charles: I like to fly. I used to fly in a hot air ballon, but it wasn’t enought for me and I decided to make my own flying machine.

Charles: It wasn’t easy, I fell down and crashed many times.

Kate: hahaha (and she looks at him fall in love).

Charles look at her and blushes.

Charles: You know, this flying machine was designed for two people. You can go with me and fly far away. Go with me come on.

Kate is scared.

Kate: No, I can’t left my house.

Charles takes the flying machine and prepares it for flying. Kate looks at Charles’s family picture and finds his goggles, and she decides to take it and go with Charles.

Never voluntarily go to the emergency room! ESL Podcast

Saturday, 9:35 p.m.

I arrive in the emergency room. I had been at a party earlier in the evening when I accidentally cut my finger. My finger wasn’t severed, but it did have a very deep cut and I thought I might need stitches. I check in at the admissions desk and I’m told to take a seat and wait.

Saturday, 10:40 p.m.

I’m still waiting to see a doctor. The waiting room is filled to capacity and I expect it to be a long night.

Saturday, 11:15 p.m.

Several ambulances pull up to the door and EMTs wheel in several people on stretchers. I hear that there had been a pileup on Freeway 215 and these were the victims. I can see a doctor performing triage and the most critical cases are taken into exam rooms and maybe directly into surgery.

Sunday, 1:25 p.m.

I decide to give up and go home. If I hadn’t bled to death by that time, I could probably wait until Monday to see my regular physician.

My evening in the emergency room wasn’t a total loss, though. I learned a valuable lesson: Never voluntarily go to the emergency room!
