Oral Development 1 (p 16) Suggested Answer

planning a day out in the open air for a long time but waited until the weather improved They left for the park early in the morning but before they left they had packed everything they would need for their picnic and, as soon as the children were up, they set off They are going to spend the whole day

at the park and by the time they go home the children will have run around and played so much that they will be exhausted

Picture C: He is sitting in front of the computer with his son

and they are either playing online games or he’s helping his son look up information on the Internet They probably do this quite often, after the father comes back from work and the son returns from school Before they sat down at the computer, they probably had a meal with the whole family and after the boy had finished his homework, they went online When they finish, they will be spending the rest of the evening with the whole family
