Communicative It was a cold, dark night2B
American English File 2 Teacher’s BookPhotocopiable © Oxford University Press 2008
It was a cold, dark evening in November. It was six o’clock and peoplewere going home from work. Vanessa was driving out of the town. Shewas in a hurry, but she wasn’t going home. She stopped to buy a bottleof water, and then got back into the car and continued driving.
Where do you think she was going?
She was driving to her friend’s house to have dinner. Her friend’s namewas Martin. He was a farmer and he lived in the country. Vanessa waslistening to the radio. She began to relax after a hard day at work. Shewas driving past some trees when suddenly she hit something in theroad. She stopped and got out of the car.
What do you think she saw?
There was a dog lying in the middle of the road. It was dead. Vanessamoved the dog to the side of the road and then continued her journey.Suddenly she saw in the mirror that there was a black car behind her.When she turned right the car turned right and when she turned leftthe car turned left, too. It was following her!
Why was the car following her?
Vanessa was sure that the driver of the car was following her becausethe dead dog was his, and he was angry. Now he was flashing his lights.
What do you think Vanessa did?
Vanessa drove faster but the car drove faster, too. Suddenly the seveno’clock news started on the radio. It said: “The police are looking for amurderer who escaped from prison last night. Be careful! He is verydangerous.”
How do you think Vanessa felt now? Why?
Vanessa felt very afraid. Now she was sure that the man in the car wasthe murderer! She drove faster. Martin’s farm was very near now, butthe black car was right behind her! At last she arrived at Martin’sfarm. She got out of the car and ran up to the door. She rang thedoorbell. “Martin! Help, help!” she shouted.
Where do you think Martin was?
Martin was in the kitchen making the dinner when the doorbell rang.He heard Vanessa shouting, so he ran to get his shotgun. He openedthe door. At that moment the black car stopped next to Vanessa’s car.A tall man got out.
Who do you think the man was?
“That man is the murderer who escaped from prison last night,”Vanessa shouted. “He’s going to kill us.” “No, no!” said the tall man.“I’m not the murderer. The murderer is in there, in the back of your car!”
When did the murderer get into Vanessa’s car?
“I was driving behind you,” the tall man said, “and I saw you stopwhen you hit the dog. There was a man behind a tree. I saw him get inyour car. I recognized him from the newspaper. He’s the murderer whoescaped from prison last night. That’s why I was following you.” Martinran to the car with his shotgun. He opened the back door. There was aman on the floor. “OK,” said Martin, “come out, with your hands up.”
It was a cold,dark night
