(1) At nine o’clock, six students arrived at the museum to prepare a new exhibition about local history. The museum would welcome visitors at eleven, but several problems appeared.
(2) Amelia read the work list and noticed that two information cards were missing. Instead of waiting for instructions, she looked through the office files, got the details and printed new cards. Meanwhile, Ben greeted the student helpers, showed them where to leave their coats and introduced them to the museum manager.
(3) In the main gallery, Chloe saw that a glass bottle stood too close to the edge of a table that was prepared for the guests. She moved it to a safer place and told the manager what she had done. Daniel, however, had forgotten to bring the visitor maps he had promised to collect. At first, he blamed the bus journey, but later he admitted that he had not checked his bag before leaving home.
(4) A few minutes before eleven, a family arrived. Eva felt nervous because she had never spoken to visitors before. Even so, she greeted them politely and explained why they needed to wait. When one visitor complained, she stayed calm and asked the manager for help.
(5) The last problem began when the lights in one display stopped working. Finn looked at the switches, noticed a loose cable and made the lights work again without touching any museum objects. At eleven, the doors opened as planned. The manager thanked the students and said they had helped the museum through a difficult morning.
