Mr Richard Broadbent

New Tesco House

Delamare Rd

Cheshunt

20th of September 2014

Dear Mr Richard Broadbent,


I write to offer congratulations

On a truly impressive achievement:

Selling us salted popcorn sensations.

Yet this praise is not without bereavement.

I found no real solace to my upset

When I went to the shelf popcorn sits on

And just found the lump in my throat you get

When something you love is there, then it’s gone.

I live in St Andrews, thus the issue:

“No plans to restock”, you said with a sigh.

So answer this, or hand me a tissue:

Have I butterkist1 my true love goodbye?

Let this be a dream. Restock when I wake.

I live with salt in my wounded heartbreak.


1) Butterkist is a brand of popcorn

Assignment 1

Find alle verberne (udsagnsordene) i præteritum (datid) i nedenstående tekst, og omskriv dem til præsens (nutid). Skriv hele teksten som dit svar, og markér verberne tydeligt som i eksemplet.

Eksempel: The phone hit my chest...
The phone hits my chest...

The phone hit my chest harder than I expected. I fell to the floor, extending my hand to catch it before it could shatter on the porch. Xavier was standing in the doorway until he wasn’t anymore – quick, like a camera flash. Then, the door slid back into place. The lock clicked, and the blinds were pulled back to their starting position, the individual slats turning to face inward, blocking me out. I screamed Xavier’s name, once or twice, then the living room lights went out. It was so cold. I moved about the porch in search of another entrance to the house. There were steps descending into the backyard, but I needed my clothes. I thought about pressing my forehead up against the window when the phone buzzed to life in my hand, a nonstop stream of vibrations, icons popping up on the screen like threats from another planet. I looked down, unlocked the screen – the background photo: Ray and me, both of us doubled down over with laughter at Edgewater Park, a small fire glowing next to us. I was so cold now, and lonely. I thumbed open my text messages and saw that Xavier had sent the photo to Ray, and Lucas, and Zeke. My finger slipped and the photo filled the entirety of the screen.
