Read about Ally and write seven things that she might say using I wish, If only, I should, I could, I’d better.
Ally and her friend Ed bought three tickets in a raffle for a Caribbean holiday. A few days later the winning number was announced in the paper, and Ally was sure that she had it — except she couldn’t find the tickets. She looked in all the sensible places, like her purse, and the drawer of her desk, then she remembered that they were in the pocket of her jeans … but her jeans were in the washing machine! She rushed to get them out, but it was too late — the tickets were there, but they had almost disintegrated and the numbers were impossible to read. She tried talking to the competition organisers, but they said that since she’d forgotten to write her name and phone number on the receipt for the ticket, there was no proof that she’d won. She hasn’t told Ed about what happened yet.
