READ
Read the text below and answer the questions.
On my first day in college, something terrible happened. My first class started at nine
o'clock. I woke up very late and I had no time for breakfast, so I bought some orange
juice from the campus cafeteria. I ran into the room and everyone was at a computer.
They all looked at me and I went to sit behind a computer, but I still had my orange
juice. The teacher said, “You can't drink that in here.” But as I walked across the
room I tripped, and the orange juice went all over a classmate and her computer.
Luckily, the computer was OK, and the classmate, Clara, saw the funny side of it. In
fact, we're good friends now. Still, it wasn't a good start.
