1the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its 2.(intend) purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some 3.(talent)actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door 4.(swing)shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key5.(send) to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years 6.Ilast used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it 7.another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans 8.(drop) boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider 9. (buy). And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me 10.(entertain)while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
