It was my birthday yesterday. To my great surprise and dismay, my friends at school had completely forgotten about. I wass very depressed because I had been waiting to hear them wish me a Happy Birthday that morning.
When I arrived home my family had gone out. I was very sad so I decided to ring up my friend Ben. He also wasn’t at home. He had taken his dog for a walk.
By 8 p.m no one had come home or had even called me. I felt lonely and upset. I switched on the TV and made a sandwich for myself. I even changed over to my night suit. I had been watching TV when suddenly the doorbell rang. I opened the door and soon realized that my family and friends had been planning a surprise party all day. The climax was fun. They all rushed to me and said “Happy Birthday” very loudly. I felt embrassed because I had changed into my pajamas and here everyone was celebrating and having a party.
Based on the text, answer the following questions.
2. What had she been doing the whole day?
Jawabannya adalah “She had been waiting for her friends and family to wish her a happy birthday”.
