HUGE BLACK FLY: STUDENTS' WORKSHEETS BEE'S KNEES ENGLISH

FILL-IN (A)Today, I was ____ a coffee at my favorite coffee house ____ working on

an essay ____ I'm supposed to finish and ____ in by tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I ____ a sip and felt something in my mouth. I [f ]____ it must

be a bit of a cookie that I'd had for breakfast so I didn't worry about it

____ first. Then I remembered I didn't have cookies this morning.

I reached in and took it out of my mouth. It ____ out to be a huge black

fly. I screamed and ____ it away as far as I could. It flew across the

room and [l]____ on the plate of this big bald tough-looking guy. He

[s]____ up and looked at me as if he was ____ to kill me. His wife had to

hold him and ____ him from beating the hell out of me.

And that's not the worst ____. I'm kind of clumsy so in the [p]____ I also

spit coffee all ____ my open laptop and knocked over the cup, [s]____

the rest of the coffee on the floor. I could see the customers mumbling

to ____ other, ____ their heads and calling me a loser.

The waiter wasn't too happy [e]____. Even though I ____ to him

repeatedly for making him mop the floor and gave him a nice ____, I

don't think I'll be welcome there for a while. Oh, and did I [m]____ that

my laptop died and all my files got [w]____ out, including the essay I

was working on? And that I got ____ F as a result?

Some days just ____ worth getting out of bed ____.


FILL-IN (B)Today, I was having a coffee ____ my favorite coffee house while

working on ____ essay that I'm ____ to finish and hand in ____

tomorrow morning. Anyway, I took a ____ and felt something in my

I didn't ____ about it at first. Then I remembered I didn't have cookies

this morning.

I [r]____ in and took it out of my mouth. It turned out to be a huge black

fly. I [s]____ and threw it away as far as I could. It [f ]____ across the

room and landed on the plate of this big ____ tough-looking guy. He

stood up and looked at me as ____ he was going to kill me. His wife had

to hold him and keep him from ____ the hell out of me.

And that's not the worst part. I'm kind of [c]____ so in the process I

also ____ coffee all over my open laptop and ____ over the cup, spilling

the rest of the coffee on the floor. I could see the customers [m]____ to

each ____, shaking their heads and ____ me a loser.

The waiter wasn't too happy either. Even ____ I apologized to him

repeatedly for ____ him mop the floor and gave him a nice tip, I don't

think I'll be [w]____ there for a while. Oh, and did I mention that my
