Q16 - Help!
I am staying at the Royal Hotel. This morning I walked past a room on the first floor. Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice.
'Help!' the woman shouted. Then I heard a man's voice.
'Don't move or I'll shoot you!' the man shouted angrily.
'Please don't shoot me,' the woman cried. The man laughed. Then I heard a shot. I knocked at the door loudly.
'Come in', the woman said softly. I rushed into the room.
'What's the matter?' I asked the woman. 'Can I help you?'
'Who are you?' the woman asked angrily.
'I heard a shot', I said. 'Are you all right?'
The woman laughed. 'Of course I'm all right.' She turned to the man.
'Put your gun in your pocket', she said.
'What's happening?' I asked.
'We're not quarrelling', the man said. 'We're actors. We are learning our parts.
