Anna smiled. “Next time, I’ll ask for help before I run to the wrong platform.” Would you like a different version — for example, one that includes specific B1 grammar like or present perfect ?
She sat down on a bench, feeling stupid. “I can’t believe I missed it,” she whispered to herself.
She grabbed her bag and ran. But when she got to Platform 3, there was no train. A guard was walking past.
The second train was slower and more crowded. When she finally arrived in Manchester, she was three hours late. Her cousin hugged her and laughed. “At least you have a story to tell,” he said.
The guard frowned. “No, that train is on time from Platform 7. There’s no change.”
Anna felt her face turn red. She had misunderstood the announcement. By the time she got back to Platform 7, the train was gone.
