Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions below .

    Last Sunday was definitely not a good day for me. It all started when I got into my car and it refused to start. I realized that I had left the lights on and the battery had gone flat. I telephoned my friend David and he came round and help me start the car. I then drove into the town to see a friend. I had arranged to meet him at 6.30, but by the time I got there he had left. I waited for him for an hour despite the freezing weather, but he did not come. When I returned to my car, I was that someone had broken into it, probably looking for the radio. Luckily, I never leave the radio in the car ! There was nothing I could do but get into my car and drive home. Later I spoke with my friend and discovered that he had waited for only half and hour and left. He didn’t even apologized for not waiting for me longer.
