This is a funny story and it’s true. My name’s Shanice. I work in a big London hospital as a nurse and I often work on New Year’s Eve so usually I don’t do anything special. Last year, however, my friend Becky decided to have a New Year’s Eve party so I asked the hospital administrators to give me the night off. They said they needed me but I could finish work at 11 p.m.
So, on 31st December 2017 I took my party clothes to work with me so I could get dressed for the party later. When 11 p.m. came, I found an empty room and put on my party dress. Then I booked a taxi from the hospital to my friend’s house. I was really hungry so I bought a sandwich from the small shop in the reception area and had some of it while I waited for the taxi. Of course, it’s a busy night because a lot of people go out to restaurants or parties and I wasn’t surprised when my taxi was late. I was a bit worried by 11.20 so I phoned them again.
The taxi arrived at 11.30 and I said where I wanted to go, got into the car and put my headphones on. I closed my eyes and enjoyed my favourite music. After about 15 minutes I looked out of the window and I didn’t see any streets or houses that I knew. I asked the driver where we were and he said “Very near Agar Road”. But Becky lived on Agar Grove.
We were in completely the wrong part of London! I told the driver about the mistake and he was very sorry. He quickly changed direction but there wasn’t time so last year I celebrated New Year in the back of a taxi with a bit of a sandwich and a bottle of water!
1. Shanice works as _____.

This is a funny story and it’s true. My name’s Shanice. I work in a big London hospital as a nurse and I often work on New Year’s Eve so usually I don’t do anything special. Last year, however, my friend Becky decided to have a New Year’s Eve party so I asked the hospital administrators to give me the night off. They said they needed me but I could finish work at 11 p.m.
So, on 31st December 2017 I took my party clothes to work with me so I could get dressed for the party later. When 11 p.m. came, I found an empty room and put on my party dress. Then I booked a taxi from the hospital to my friend’s house. I was really hungry so I bought a sandwich from the small shop in the reception area and had some of it while I waited for the taxi. Of course, it’s a busy night because a lot of people go out to restaurants or parties and I wasn’t surprised when my taxi was late. I was a bit worried by 11.20 so I phoned them again.
The taxi arrived at 11.30 and I said where I wanted to go, got into the car and put my headphones on. I closed my eyes and enjoyed my favourite music. After about 15 minutes I looked out of the window and I didn’t see any streets or houses that I knew. I asked the driver where we were and he said “Very near Agar Road”. But Becky lived on Agar Grove.
We were in completely the wrong part of London! I told the driver about the mistake and he was very sorry. He quickly changed direction but there wasn’t time so last year I celebrated New Year in the back of a taxi with a bit of a sandwich and a bottle of water!
