Look at the picture and read the story. Write some words to complete

Katy’s new clothes

Everyone else in Katy’s class was excited when they heard about the end of year
school party, but Katy was worried. Most of her clothes were really old and her
family didn’t have a lot of money, so Katy didn’t want to ask her parents to find
enough money to buy her a new dress.

But Katy was clever. First, she found a pencil and drew some ideas. She wanted
her clothes to look fun and unusual. Then she fetched some old clothes that her
parents never wore and took them into her room, found some scissors and began
to cut here and there, here and there…
She worked hard until it was dark and she was very pleased with her work. In
the morning, she put her new clothes on and went to show her family. ‘You look
wonderful!’ her mother said. ‘Is that my old scarf and long striped skirt?’ ‘Yes!
Well, part of them!’ Katy answered. ‘And I think that’s one of my old jackets?’
her father said. ‘Yes, but I changed it quite a lot!’ Katy said. ‘I loved the pockets,
Dad.’
Katy wore her clothes to the party and a photographer from the newspaper took
a picture of her. ‘Did you really make that?’ he said. ‘Yes, I want to be a clothes
designer in the future!’ Katy said.
