from a manager’s desk. The police are questioning all the people who work in
that office to try to find who is guilty of this crime.
Please choose at least 12 activities from the list below to make up your
alibi. First, choose the activity that you were doing at 2:35 pm yesterday. Then
arrange the other activities in the order you imagine you did them (you can
choose several activities to do at the same time, e.g: I was reading a newspaper
and drinking my coffee from 2:00-3:00 PM yesterday). Use the Past Simple and
Past Continuous tenses in your writing. Write at least 100 words.
