              8. Use these notes to make a story. Use the correct tenses.

                I was on a safari holiday with friends in South Africa. I got up, screamed and saw the camera flash as my friends took a photograph of me. I heard scratching at our wooden cabin but I couldn't see anything. I had just gone to sleep when suddenly I woke up because I heard a screeching noise. We were spending three days in a tree house so that we could photograph animals.
