Read Talia's story. What did she and her friend do? My heat wave story The very hot summer became a heat wave. A heat wave is when the temperature goes very high, above 40 degrees celcius, and no one can do anything. We stayed in the shade and tried to drink lots of water. Mom asked me and my friend Lamia to go to the store to buy watermelon, grapes, and lemons to make lemonade to cool us down. We went to the store. We came back on the shady side of the street, and past all our friends' houses. Suddenly, as we were passing Mrs Sohair's house, we heard a cry. Mrs Sohair is a very kind lady in her 70s and lives with her son, but he goes. to work in the day. Lamia and I were worried and Mrs Sohair's door was a bit open, so we knocked and called 'Mrs Sohair!' At first there was no reply, then we heard a quiet voice, 'I'm here!' We went into the kitchen and she was on the floor! 'Help me!' she said. At first, we didn't know what to do, but then I ran outside and saw Mr Monib, who works nearby. 'Mr Monib, please help Mrs Sohair!' I called. Mr Monib came running. We all helped get Mrs Sohair onto a chair, then we gave her lots of water and some of our fruit. She said she went to the kitchen to get some water, but she felt ill and fell down because it was so hot. She couldn't get up. She was very happy we heard her, and we were happy we could help her! 5 Read again, and put the sentences in the correct order a It was a very hot day. b Talia's mom asked them to go to the store. c Mrs Sohair was lying on the floor. d Mr Monib and the girls helped Mrs Sohair. e They were on the street and heard a cry. f Talia and Lamia stayed in the shade at home. 6 Work with a partner.

UNIT 6 94 Language focus We use adverbs of frequency with the present simple to say how often we do things. I always go to the club on sunny Saturdays. He never goes to the park in the rain. The adverb of frequency comes after the subject (name, pronoun, noun) and before the main verb. I often sit on our balcony on hot nights. But with the verb be, it's different: the adverb of frequency comes after am/is/are. I'm always in bed at 11 pm. Write the words in the box in the correct place.
