It really ___________ me. Anyway, about two weeks ago I went to the cinema with my new girlfriend. I was really nervous because I wanted it to be a perfect date. So about five minutes into the film these two girls in front of us started laughing and giggling. I could feel my blood _____________ but I didn’t want to do anything because I didn’t want my date to think I was the kind of person who got __________ up easily. I just hoped they’d shut up, but of course they didn’t. By now it was really starting to get on my _______________ and I had to bite my _______________ to stop myself from losing my _____________ . The _____________ thing was that they weren’t getting any quieter, they were getting louder. Well, I had reached my __________ . I was just about to get up and start _____________ when my date leaned forward and _____________ “Can’t you two just keep your big mouths shut!” at the top of her voice. I mean, she really _________ their heads off. Well, that was the last we heard from either of those girls and that was the moment I fell head over heels in love with Christina, my date. Jane is one of those people who likes to ________________________ . She really doesn’t like to let anyone know what she’s feeling. The problem is that very occasionally she explodes and really _________________________ . Be careful you don’t upset Belinda. She doesn’t like to __________________ . She remembers everything. I mean she really ________________________ for years. Larry is quite _______________________ – it doesn’t take much to make him angry. He’s also very easy to ___________________ , because he takes everything very seriously. Jim’s a bit of a baby really. I mean he still has ___________________ when he doesn’t get what he wants – just like a four-year-old. Or sometimes he just ____________________________ – he goes all quiet and refuses to speak to anyone. Like I said, he can be a bit of a baby. bottle up her feelings 40 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
