He sometimes draws the 9 he wants to carve, but in most cases, the wood just doesn’t match his 10 .He has no choice but to 11 in order to match the material available, which sometimes leads to even more 12 results.Gabi’s most popular creation is “Water Pouring from Bucket”, a masterpiece carved from an old ash tree.After he guessed that half the stump was rotten, it ended up becoming the water flowing from a bucket.

As the song ended, the host started talking about the concert.“The Shape Shifters are playing in town this weekend,” he announced loudly.“And we’re giving away two tickets to Saturday’s sold out show, right now! We’re looking for the 10th caller who can correctly answer this question: Who is the oldest member of the Shape Shifters?” Alexis and Zoe looked at each other.They couldn’t believe how easy the question was.“It’s Georgie!” said Alexis.“No, it’s Natasha,” answered Zoe. “What do you mean?” asked Alexis.“Everyone knows Georgie is 29, he’s much older than the rest of the band.” “Yeah, I know he’s the oldest person, but the question was who the oldest member of the band is.Natasha started the band when she was just 15.The others joined the group after her,” explained Zoe.“But ...” Alexis wasn’t convinced. As they listened, they heard the host taking calls from excited fans.“Caller Number Three, you’re up! What’s your answer?” “Georgie,” said the nervous voice.“Wrong again,” boomed the host.“Nobody seems to know the answer! Next caller!”注意:1.續寫詞數應為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。 “You’re right!
