There are only 10 right answers. We have done the first one (0) as an example. DIARY Monday Today I started my new job. It is so exciting! I work in a big room with three men: Mark, Dan and Peter. Mark can speak English, Norwegian and Chinese. Our boss is Annie. We all work very hard. We are a bit afraid of Annie. Tuesday Today Annie and I had lunch together in the cafe. She is really quite nice. She travels all over the world. I asked her which country she liked best. She said she liked India best. Wednesday I did a TV interview with a man and his pet monkey Pipo. The man taught the monkey to write.

3 Pipo wrote his name in front of the cameras. It was fantastic! I always wanted to have a pet, so I went to buy a dog in the afternoon. Thursday Peter, Mark and I went to an Indian restaurant today. It has won a Best Food prize. Peter filmed me while I ate a very good meal. He did not have any food that day. Poor Peter! He was very hungry! Friday Annie invited us all for a drink to a new bar tonight after work. Peter couldn t come, so we went without him. We had a great time. Dan was so funny. We laughed and laughed all evening.
