Task 1: Read the following model and analyze it according to the points above. “Sleep tight, Scottie,” his mother said she kissed him goodnight and turned off the light. As soon as she had closed the door behind her, Scott was fast asleep. He was completely exhausted after spending the whole afternoon assembling his new train set and then watching it go around the tracks and through the tunnels. Suddenly, a ball of brilliant yellow light shot past the window, Scott woke with a start when the ball entered his room. The light was so bright that he had to shut his eyes. When he opened them, he saw a strange, little man, about a foot tall, with orange skin and huge blue eyes. Scott, not the least bit frightened, said in a friendly voice, “Hello, I’m Scott. Who are you?” The miniature man said nothing, but picked up a battery from the untidy heap of toys on the floor. He started running around the room, pointing urgently at the rest of Scott’s toys. “What do you want?” asked Scott, who was puzzled. The man began shaking the battery frantically, and Scott realized that that was what he wanted. Scott opened all his toys, took out the batteries and piled them on the floor. Immediately gathering up all the batteries, the little man leapt onto the window sill, smiled warmly at Scott and disappeared. When Scott woke up the next morning, he thought about his unusual dream. He stared at his train set before jumping out of bed and trying to switch it on. Nothing happened. Then Scott realized that it had no batteries ... and there were no batteries in any of his other toys, either. 1.
