Callie Rogers was just sixteen when she won the lottery in 2003. She gave up her job as a shop assistant and started to spend her money. She took her family on expensive holidays, invited all her friends to big parties every weekend and had cosmetic surgery. Ten years later, she had just £2,000 left. But she’s happy now. ‘I was too young to win the lottery,’ she said.

Callie Rogers было всего шестнадцать лет, когда она выиграла в лотерею в 2003 году. Она оставила работу продавца и начала тратить свои деньги. Она возила семью в дорогие поездки, приглашала всех своих друзей на большие вечеринки каждые выходные и сделала пластическую операцию. Десять лет спустя у неё осталось всего 2 000 фунтов. Но теперь она счастлива. «Я была слишком молода, чтобы выиграть в лотерею», — сказала она.

Ответ: 1 was; 2 won; 3 gave; 4 started; 5 took; 6 invited; 7 had; 8 had; 9 was; 10 said.
