M: Susan, what happened?
W: Well, three teenagers ran out of the
school and stole my new car. While they were driving away they started arguing
and drove the car straight into a tree.
M: Oh, no!
W: My car was badly damaged, but luckily
the kids were not seriously hurt. They got arrested but were soon sent back to
their school. I was already thinking I should get another car. Maybe a
second-hand one next time.

W: Hi, Tom! What did you do last week?
M: Well, I had a busy one. I wrote three
essays for school, fixed my car over the weekend and had to work every night at
the restaurant until 10 o’clock.
W: Mmm, that’s
too bad.
M: It was, believe me. So how was your
weekend?
W: Actually it wasn’t bad. I played tennis
a couple of times and watched several movies. I went to the beach with friends
on Friday and took a drive with Jack on Saturday.

the fifth?
W: Yes, we’ve got a few tickets left on the
third.
M: Oh, great! How much is it for just one
ticket?
W: That’ll be 36 pounds, including the
booking fee of one pound.
M: Oh, my goodness! Forget it.

M: Hello, Tina! I’m Bob. Welcome to our
program. So, what’s the title of your very short story?
W: It’s Charlie
Hu. They are not in the 90 words of the story
though.
M: And how long did it take you to write
it?
W: I wrote it in one afternoon, about two
hours, I think.
M: So, where did you get the idea of the
story?
W: I read something one day in a newspaper
about a man named Fred. He earned a lot of money abroad. And he had a party for
everyone in his street. That gave me the idea.
M: And what’s the story about?
W: Well, it’s about a man called Charlie.
But it’s also about success and how people think about success.
M: Did you expect to win the competition?
W: No, I didn’t. it was a complete
surprise.
