This woman has lost her job.

Mrs. Clark and her daughter Sarah have been out shopping, and they have just returned home.

Mrs. Clark has just opened a letter; and she’s received bad news. She has lost her job!

Mrs. Clark is the only money earner in the family, since her husband is no longer living.

The letter has upset Mrs. Clark very much. She’s crying. She’s recently bought a new house, a new car, and many new clothes for her job. She hasn’t paid for them yet.

Now she may not be able to pay for them, because she hasn’t saved much money.
