After reading

2 Here are Celia and Charlie, from Death on Christmas live, havingone of their regular arguments. Complete Charlie's side of the conversation (use as many words as you like).

Celia: Christmas always makes me sad, because it makes me think

of poor dear Jessie. I loved her so much.

Charlie:_________

Celia: No, Charlie, it's the truth. I did not hate her, and I was very

sorry when she died.

Charlie:_________

Celia: Her death was a terrible accident, Charlie. How many

times do I have to tell you that?

Charlie:_________

Celia: Jessie and I never argued, and we didn't argue that day. She

just slipped and fell down the stairs.

Charlie:_________

Celia: How could I have done it? I was in my room when she fell.

Charlie:_________

CElia: Yes, she screamed because she was falling down the stairs.

But that still doesn't mean I pushed her.
