- freeze to death (freeze; death)
- tail
 
3. Write a text as if you were telling the story and hand it to me for correction. Don't forget to use text organisers and linkers: after that, then, some time later, when, finally; and, but, however, because...
 
Start your text like this: In a cold winter night, a girl...
