I. Tess had the habit of writing a diary. On the day when she heard the news that her little brother Andrew had a serious illness, she began writing the entry in her diary like this:

‘Today is a very bad day. What a terrible news! Mummy and Daddy are worrying so much about Andrew. My poor brother, Andrew! Why such big illness? Shocked to know that he was in a danger'.



Continue the diary entry in your notebook.
