ACTIVITY 2: The Characters
Kate and Charlie wanted to get married and buy a
house. They were about to fly to Paris but Kate was afraid of flying. When he
arrives, he fell in love with another woman, Juliette, and Kate decided to go
there. On the plane she met Luc, a French man and they talked all the flight.
When they landed, Kate was still sleeping when Luc, put a plant with a stolen
necklace in her bag. They separate each other and Kate went to his
ex-boyfriend's hotel. She couldn't get the room of him so she decided to sit
down on a sofa. After a few minutes, a strange man sat with her. They started
to talk and suddenly Kate saw Charlie with Juliette going down on the lift,
immediately she fainted. When she woke up her bags weren't there, just Luc was
there. She described that strange man to Luc and he recognized him, so they
went to his house (It was important for Luc because his necklace was still
there).When they were there the strange (Bob) said that he had given Kate's
clothes to his girlfriend but Luc found the plant. Luc and Kate separated again
but when Luc opened the plant his necklace wasn't there. He thought that it was
still in Kate's bag. Then Kate took a train and Luc too, they were going to
Nice(where Charlie and Juliet were). He was trying to look into her bag all the
time. In a Kate’s dream, accidentally they kissed. The next morning they sat
together to have breakfast and Kate reminded that she is lactose intolerant so
they had to stop because she felt ill. She threw up all the food and it was
still two hours for the next train. Meanwhile they were waiting for the train,
they went around Luc's town. There, she discovered that he is in trouble with
his brother (he stole his wallet and run away) and he wants to buy a vinyard,
but first them had to sell a thing, which he had lost, the necklace. They had lunch
in there too. Then, they returned to the train and Kate showed him that she had
it. They arrived to Nice and when they were going to have lunch Kate saw
Charlie with Juliette and her family, planning their wedding. She met them at
the beach and sit to talk with them too, including Charlie. Suddenly, when Kate
sat on a bank, a police man told her that the necklace was stolen, so she had to
give to them. That same night, she met Charlie for dinner and Luc met Juliette,
every couple went to a room and kissed, but Kate said no and Luc too. Then Kate
went to Cartier to take her money and there she gave the necklace to the
police. After, Kate gives the money to Luc and says that that money was the
price of the necklace.

husband. I'm afraid of flying by plane, but one day I must do that.
Charlie was in Paris for work, but one day he called me and explained
to me that he met another girl and that he was in love with her. I
was sad. Charlie said that he had found the true love with her. So I
flew to Paris because I wanted to talk with him about that. When I
