was very exciting. We all knew that she (37) ……….. be on, so all our friends met

at her parents’ house to watch it. Her parents videoed it too, of course. The

programme started at half past seven. We screamed and clapped when we saw

Jenny. She looked great. She had had her hair done, and was wearing the new top

she had bought the day before. She sat in the chair in the middle of the studio while

the (38) ………... asked her some questions. The questions got harder and harder as

they increased in (39) ………... . If she didn’t make any mistakes and get the most

difficult question right, she would win a million pounds. By this time, Jenny had

won a thousand pounds. That was definitely hers, whatever happened. She answered

the next question correctly, which was worth five thousand pounds. I didn’t know

but got the answer wrong. She was gone out of the game. Still, she had her thousand

pounds, and we were very proud of her.
