A Meeting in London | Leer Engels A1

1. Emma sits at a café in London. She looks at her watch. It is three o'clock. She is early. Her date James comes at three fifteen. Emma is nervous. She drinks water and waits.

2. Emma is a teacher. She is twenty-eight years old. She teaches art at a secondary school. Her students are fifteen and sixteen years old. Some students love art. Some students only come because they must. Emma understands both types.

3. Emma has a cat. Her cat's name is Picasso. He is a strange cat. He only eats expensive food and has a strange fascination for the color blue. Emma does not know why Picasso has an obsession with the color blue. Lucy is Emma's friend. Lucy called Emma last week. "I have a friend. His name is James. He is very nice. You must meet him!"

4. "He likes books. You like books. He has a cat. You have a cat. You are perfect for each other!" Lucy was very excited. Emma said yes. Now she waits at the café. She wears a red scarf. It is her lucky scarf.

5. Lucy told James about the red scarf. This helps James find her. Emma looks at the menu. Coffee costs two pounds. Tea costs three pounds. Beer costs four pounds per pint. She practices what to say in her head.

6. A man walks to the café. He has brown hair and glasses. He wears a blue jacket. He looks at the tables. Then he walks into a chair! "Oh! Sorry!" he says. Emma tries not to laugh. He sees her red scarf.
