 Hi again, friends !
Another exercise ?!!! Of course !  Here it is :
 CORRECTION : JEUDI 24 JANVIER 2008
Read the following story. Three sentences are missing from it. At the end of the story, you'll find four sentences - choose which three you need to complete the story, and where they fit in.
One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mice, so she ran out of the house, got on a bus and went down to the shops. 1)_____ The shopkeeper said to her, 'Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse.'
2)_____ She did not want to go back to the shops, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.
3)_____ When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, there was a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
A) Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful!
B) There she bought a mouse-trap.
C) The mouse-trap was quite expensive, but she bought it, because she wanted to catch that mouse.
D) The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it.
Enjoy it !

Good evening,
Here is my try:
One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mice, so she ran out of the house, got on a bus and went down to the shops. The mouse-trap was quite expensive, but she bought it, because she wanted to catch that mouse. The shopkeeper said to her, 'Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse.'
The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to go back to the shops, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.
Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! 
When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, there was a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
Many thanks,

Hi everybody !
Good job, my dear Nobody ! 
Here's the correction to confirm these good answers :

B- There she bought a mouse-trap. The shopkeeper said to her, 'Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse.'
D - The lady went home with her mouse-trap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it.
She did not want to go back to the shops, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.
A - Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful!
When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, there was a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
Sentence 'C' is not used.
Many thanks for taking part !
