Verbs (13)
The bride and groom processed in.
Presumably. For they were rendered
invisible by the restaurant’s over-enthusiastic
special effects – voluminous white clouds
created by an excess of water on dry ice.
Cameras flashed and videos whirred in vain
as their operators fought for a glimpse of the
couple through the fog. The guests could
not actually see the couple but quite
astutely stood up and applauded anyway,
after all these were the guys paying for their
dinner.

repetition
Grammar Quiz corrections – 1)
When it snowed, we all ran out of our houses and
played in the street. My brother and I had the
chance to throw a snowball at that grumpy old
woman from number five. What a laugh! // When
she hurled one back we were surprised, but it made
us happy to realise that she had some fun left in her.
// Dad tried to take some photos of the event – I
can’t wait to see them. If they’re clear enough, I’ll
give her one.
Later, when we’d had a hot bath and supper, we
watched the people walking about outside from
the upstairs window. They were skidding about,
sliding in the snow. As soon as they saw us, they
pelted snowballs at the window.
