The other day I (1) bumped into an old friend of mine, Joe Burton, while I
was at the supermarket. I hadn’t seen him for ages. I wanted to (2) catch
up with him, so I suggested going for a beer.
Unfortunately, Joe was very busy, so he didn’t have time for a beer. ‘Let’s
(3) meet up later in the week’, I said. Joe looked in his phone and said, ‘
why don’t we (4) get together for lunch at 12.30 on Wednesday at the Red
Lion pub?’.
It´s not a very formal place, so I didn’t need to (5) dress up for the
occasion. I got to the pub about 15 minutes late, so I was slightly stressed.
By the time Joe (6) turned up I´d finished my second beer and I was

starving. He was almost an hour late!
