Julian Black was a very famous singer, 1 he was also

very lonely. In the evenings, if he wasn’t playing a concert,

he was usually at home alone, watching television and

reading. 2 he knew a lot of people, he didn’t

have any friends. Everybody knew Julian Black the singer,3 nobody knew the real man.

It was November and Julian was

on a world tour with his band.

They were in Rio de Janeiro. After

the concert, Julian felt very tired,4 he went back to

his hotel. He was wearing his

sunglasses and hat 5

he didn’t want people to

recognize him. He got into the

elevator with a young woman.

She looked at him, 6

she didn’t say anything. The

elevator started going up.

A moment later the elevator

stopped. Julian and the woman

waited, 7 nothing

happened. Julian pressed the

emergency button, 8

it didn’t work. Julian looked at the

woman. “What do we do now?”

he asked. They were both very

worried.

Julian took off his hat and

sunglasses. They began to talk

while they were waiting. “What’s

your name?” asked the woman.

“Julian,” answered Julian. He was

surprised 9

she didn’t know who he was. It

was a nice feeling. They talked

about books and television

shows.

An hour later, the elevator

started working again. Julian got

off at his floor. “Maybe I can see

you again?” he asked. “That would

be nice,” said the woman. Julian

went back to his room.10 he was very tired,

he couldn’t sleep. He felt very

happy. His life was about to

change.

Communicative It was a cold, dark night2B

American English File 2 Teacher’s BookPhotocopiable © Oxford University Press 2008

It was a cold, dark evening in November. It was six o’clock and peoplewere going home from work. Vanessa was driving out of the town. Shewas in a hurry, but she wasn’t going home. She stopped to buy a bottleof water, and then got back into the car and continued driving.

Where do you think she was going?

She was driving to her friend’s house to have dinner. Her friend’s namewas Martin. He was a farmer and he lived in the country. Vanessa waslistening to the radio. She began to relax after a hard day at work. Shewas driving past some trees when suddenly she hit something in theroad. She stopped and got out of the car.

What do you think she saw?

There was a dog lying in the middle of the road. It was dead. Vanessamoved the dog to the side of the road and then continued her journey.Suddenly she saw in the mirror that there was a black car behind her.When she turned right the car turned right and when she turned leftthe car turned left, too. It was following her!

Why was the car following her?

Vanessa was sure that the driver of the car was following her becausethe dead dog was his, and he was angry. Now he was flashing his lights.

What do you think Vanessa did?

Vanessa drove faster but the car drove faster, too. Suddenly the seveno’clock news started on the radio. It said: “The police are looking for amurderer who escaped from prison last night. Be careful! He is verydangerous.”

How do you think Vanessa felt now? Why?

Vanessa felt very afraid. Now she was sure that the man in the car wasthe murderer! She drove faster. Martin’s farm was very near now, butthe black car was right behind her! At last she arrived at Martin’sfarm. She got out of the car and ran up to the door. She rang thedoorbell. “Martin! Help, help!” she shouted.

Where do you think Martin was?

Martin was in the kitchen making the dinner when the doorbell rang.He heard Vanessa shouting, so he ran to get his shotgun. He openedthe door. At that moment the black car stopped next to Vanessa’s car.A tall man got out.

Who do you think the man was?

“That man is the murderer who escaped from prison last night,”Vanessa shouted. “He’s going to kill us.” “No, no!” said the tall man.“I’m not the murderer. The murderer is in there, in the back of your car!”

When did the murderer get into Vanessa’s car?

“I was driving behind you,” the tall man said, “and I saw you stopwhen you hit the dog. There was a man behind a tree. I saw him get inyour car. I recognized him from the newspaper. He’s the murderer whoescaped from prison last night. That’s why I was following you.” Martinran to the car with his shotgun. He opened the back door. There was aman on the floor. “OK,” said Martin, “come out, with your hands up.”

It was a cold,dark night
