Time to work out your writing skills!

English Teacher Disappears

Popular English Teacher Loida Garrido has gone missing.

Mrs Garrido, who works at IES Cortes de Cádiz School in El Molar, was last seen on Tuesday afternoon, walking towards her house carrying a bag full of homework. When she did not go to school on Wednesday morning, her friend went to her house to look for her. The bag of homework was found on a table next to a note which said: “This homework is brilliant. My students now have perfect English. My work here is done”.

Her neighbours told police that they had heard loud music on Saturday evening. Her student Amanda Huggenkiss said she had walked Mrs Garrido’s house and thought she was having a party.

After a short investigation, local police discovered that Mrs Garrido had taken all the money out of her bank account and it is believed she is now on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean.

(...I wish that were true!!!!!)
