Unit 1 Nothing ventured, nothing gained(Workbook)USING STRUCTURES1 Read this passage which is adapted from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham. Underline the attributes.“This very morning,” continued Badger, who was rather disappointed, “I learned that a new and powerful motor-car will arrive at Toad Hall. At this very moment Toad may be dressing himself in those ugly clothes so dear to him. They transform him into an astonishing object which throws any decent-minded animal that comes across him into a violent fit. You two animals must help me with this project to rescue him from himself.”They reached the door of Toads house to find a new red motor-car standing in front of the house. As they drew nearer, Toad appeared with large glasses, a cap, a long coat and thick gloves. He smiled at them cheerfully until he noticed the serious faces of his silent friends. Badger marched up the steps. “Take him inside,” he said seriously. Then he turned to the car driver waiting patiently nearby. “You wont be needed today,” he said.Badger took the silent and angry Toad into a room and reasoned with him. The other two animals listened patiently outside. “Talkings no good,” said Rat, “Talking to Toad will never change him. Ive already tried. It was the most upsetting experience Ive ever had.” Later Badger reappeared with an unhappy-looking Toad. “Now,” said Badger, “Toad has at last seen the error of his ways. He has agreed to give up cars for good. Now, Toad, tell them how sorry you are for your past behaviour.”There was a long pause. Toad looked around desperately. At last he said, “No. Im notsorry and it wasnt a mistake. It was simply glorious!” The astonished Badger looked at him. “So you wont promise not to touch a motor-car again?” “Certainly not!” replied Toad. “I promise that Ill go off in the very first one I see whether its my own or stolen. Poop-poop!”2 Develop your writing skills. Look at these sentences.
