A weekend in our family meant that our parents __________ us up even earlier than on weekdays.

WAKE

We had breakfast and set off to see some place of interest, or museum, or exhibition. Usually they __________ us where we wanted to go.

NOT/ASK

But when Mary started planning the event, a lot of questions came up. And the main problem was that she __________ what to start with!

NOT/KNOW

Vicki looked at the draft of the menu and __________ Mary that her approach was totally wrong.

TELL

She kept talking all the time and __________ that nobody was answering her questions.

NOT/MIND

When we __________ at the zoo, it was midday.

ARRIVE

Once I asked Jane if she could help me to make a surprise for my mum. Jane __________ at once.

AGREE

“What would you like me to bring you from London?” Dad often asked me this question when he was going somewhere on business. He worked a lot and __________ a lot of time with the family.

NOT/SPEND

He was surprised and asked me why I __________ a Paddington Bear.

WANT

I didn’t know what to answer.  My dad __________ packing and sat down beside me.

“You know, when I was small,” dad said quietly, “that bear was my favourite fictional character.”

STOP

Have you heard of Band Aid 30? Probably not. Then let me explain what ‘Band Aid’ is. In 1984, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure __________ together a group of British and Irish singers and musicians and produced a song, called ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’.

BRING

I had breakfast, brushed my teeth and __________ outside to catch the bus.

RUN
