Unit 111 Part B English


1    The castle stood on a cliff...
2    overlooking the sea.
3    We soon realized....
4    there was no going back.
5    There was nowhere to sit...
6    so we had to stand.
7    When it was my turn to speak...
8    my mind went blank.
9    It was an accident, I swear!
10    I didn't do it on purpose.
11    I can't stand being laughed at.
12    It's no use crying over spilt milk.
13    Shall I pour you a glass of wine?
