The forgotten years
It was 1973 and Sarah Simms
was a happy 19-year-old. She
had a nice job in a film
laboratory, and in the evening
she went out with her boyfriend.
She loved dancing, especially to
her favourite pop group, T. Red.
Then she woke up in a hospital
bed. A man was talking to her.
He said that he was her
husband, she didn’t recognize
him. In fact, she didn’t like him
very much. She thought he
looked very old. Some other
visitors were standing around
her bed, too. She didn’t
recognize any of them except
her sister, Sally, and even she
looked twenty years old. But
that’s because Sally was twenty
years older, and so was Sarah.
Two days earlier Sarah had
been in a car crash. The
accident had erased twenty
years of her memory.

It was now 1993, but for Sarah it
was 1973 and she was still a

teenager. She‘d forgotten the
twenty years in between.
In those twenty years Sarah had
got married. (in 1973 she hadn’t
met her husband.) And she‘d had
two children – Alexander, 11, and
Linda, 9. The world had also
changed dramatically . What for
example, was a word processor, a
microwave or a compact disc?
Those things had not been
invented in 1973. Had Britain really
had a woman prime minister? And
where had all her favourite pop
stars gone.

Doctors say that Sarah’s amnesia is
rare, they hope that her memory will
slowly return. Her husband Michael
hopes so, too. ‘Life has been
difficult since the accident’ he says.
‘ Things have changed a lot’. It’s
hard when a wife and mother thinks
she’s still a teenager.’


Read the text carefully and answer
the questions
1.Where did Sarah work in 1973?
2. What had happened to her?

3. What had the accident caused for her?
4. What do the doctors talk about her amnesia?
