Reading: Look at the picture and read the story “The Bank”. Write some words to complete the sentences about the story. You can use 1, 2, 3 or 4 words.

The Bank

My name's Tony and I'm a photographer. I work for a big newspaper in the city. Yesterday morning I was going to a hotel in town to take some pictures of famous singers. I was walking past the bank and I suddenly decided to go in because I needed to get some money to buy lunch later.   But when I was inside I knew something was wrong. There was a man wearing a black sweater. I couldn't see his face but he was holding a big plastic bag. A woman was putting money into it. I knew then that he was stealing the money so I shouted 'Stop that right now!' He turned round and I took his picture. He was very surprised! He just dropped the money and then, before I could catch him, he ran out of the bank. Everyone said they thought I was very brave and they thanked me.   Then a policeman arrived and asked me lots of questions. Someone told him that I had a picture of the man. But the policeman asked, 'Why did you take his picture?' and said it was a dangerous thing to do. I felt stupid. Then the policeman took my camera away so I didn't get my photos of famous people that day!
