Hi Pravin and everyone
.. and huge congratulations to India for winning the Cricket World Cup! I really enjoyed reading your account of the victory and celebrations Pravin - you really brought the scene to life with your word choice and vivacious writing style. It's amazing how sporting success can lift the spirits of a nation - people here in England were overjoyed when we won The Ashes last year :-)
To everyone who did their homework - here are the answers:
Frightened child
Broken heart
Fallen tree
Developed country
Abandoned building
Stolen money
Missed opportunity
Elected leader
Some other combinations that also work well are: broken life, stolen child, - thanks Hooonamdrol for these and also for missed call - another good example! Well done to everybody who wrote a paragraph using the words - most of them turned out to be quite sorry tales...
Well, this is my last blog posting for the time being. I must say I've had a lovely time chatting to Olga and Pravin and everyone else in our blogging community. I've also enjoyed reading all the comments from all our lovely blog commenters (including my mum) - thank you so much everyone for your support and appreciation - it's been a super couple of months!
Until we meet again, take care
Catherine
Useful vocabulary
vivacious - lively, positive
