2 Listening Comprehension - Form Z, Track Z Teacher's Paper Tuesday, August 17, 2004 Georgie Girl I have decided to write a story about our beloved cat. Her name is Georgie and she is now about 9 years old. We never really thought we would own a cat. One day we saw an advertisement. We decided to go to the address and check it out. It was quite close to where we now live. When we got there, we were greeted by a woman and a cat running wild through her backyard. Well to our amazement, it was the cat we were to adopt. She was terribly scared. The woman who owned her was blind. Her living conditions were in a tiny basement. Along with Georgie, the woman had a couple of dogs. So, finally with coaxing we managed to catch Georgie. We finally got her back to our house. She was scared. Every time we opened a door or window she would run out. We spent the next few months chasing her around the neighbourhood. However the most amazing thing about Georgie was that she growled. We thought we were imagining things at first. However whenever there was a noise, she would growl like a dog. I guess it was from her constant and close quarters with her previous owner's dogs. Over the years Georgie Girl, has become a part of the family in every respect. She takes more to my husband and son. In fact, she will wait for my husband to come home from work Then, she will jump on his back She loves to lay on the bed with my son. She has some strange quirks too. She loves to go into the shower, when someone gets out. She has slept in the weirdest places, including the bathroom sink. She is very protective of the house, and has caught some uninvited guests over the years...overall she is a very well natured cat. She always seems to have a smile on her little face. She certainly has brought a smile to our faces over the years. Amber Whitman.

My mother, being the optimist she always was, said, "Well, it looks like we'll get to have two Christmases this year!"

It made us feel that he was close by, even thoughhe was hundreds of miles away. On March S, the doorbell rang. We ran to the door and gave Clifton a big hug. As he hugged my Mother, I could see him peak over her head at the Christmas tree. "It's beautiful," he said. "Thank you."
