Name ______________________ Class ________________________

SANDRA: Yes, I was walking home from work when I saw someone who I thought was
my friend, Jo. I went up to her and touched her on the arm. But when the woman turned
round it wasn't Jo at all. I just said, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for a friend."

BARRISTER: And could you describe the woman in detail.

SANDRA: Well, to be honest, her face shocked me. She reminded me of a witch from a
children's story - a long nose and staring eyes. When I tried to walk past, she stood in my
way. I couldn't avoid her. She grabbed my arm and prevented me from escaping. I
struggled, but she pulled me into a car parked nearby. She forced me to give her my purse
and she wanted me to give her my ring, too. But I wasn't going to let her take that. So I hit
her with my bag and leapt out of the car. Then I just ran. At first I could hear her following
me, but then she disappeared. After that I ran into the town centre and reported the attack to
the police. They took a statement, and then they drove me home and warned me to lock my
doors and windows. Later that night they phoned me to say that they had arrested the
woman.
