Look at the picture, read the text and then

say how the problems of Mr. Brown's day could/

might have been avoided.

Mr. Brown woke up late yesterday morning, so he left the house in a hurry. As he was speeding down the road, he didn't see the rubbish bin lying in the middle of the street. He didn't have the time to avoid the bin so he crashed into a tree. He suffered shock. The ambulance wasn't called immediately, so he arrived at the hospital two hours later. The doctors were on strike, so he didn't receive immediate treatment. Finally, after a five-hour delay, he arrived at his office. His boss was very angry with him.

e.g. A: If Mr. Brown hadn't woken up late yesterday morning, he wouldn't have left the house in a hurry.

B: If he hadn't left the house, in a hurry, he wouldn't have been speeding down the road
