The Phantom and his Mother After giving birth to a little baby, Tina didn’t feel happy at all. Looking at her ugly son, she said sadly, “_____.” Then she made a mask for him. When her son was 8 years old, she told him, “_____.” The little boy asked his mother, “_____?” The cold-hearted mother answered, “_____.” The little boy begged, “_____.” However, Tina had already made up her mind not to see him again. In the end, the boy left and hid himself in the basement of the Paris Opera all his life. He called himself, “_____.”

Christine and the Phantom Every night before Christine went to bed, she heard a beautiful voice coming from a secret wall in her room. She asked herself, “_____?” Since the voice was too good to be true, she thought, “_____.” Then one night, the voice asked, “_____?” Christine said yes and she started to take lessons from the mysterious man. She sang better and better but no one knew the secret.

The Phantom and the Managers In order to win Christina a better role in the shows, the Phantom ordered the managers in the opera house, “_____.” One of the managers ignored the order, saying, “_____.” The Phantom was not happy and warned them, “_____.” Indeed, a few days later, one worker and one woman were killed in “accidents.” The managers started to take the Phantom seriously, they told Christine, “_____.”

The Phantom and Raoul Seeing Christine kidnapped by the Phantom, the brave young man, Raoul, followed them. He yelled at the Phantom, “_____.” The Phantom didn’t stop but went deeper and deeper into the underground. Then suddenly, he captured Raoul and kept him in the prison. He told Raoul, “_____.” He would never let Christine go with Raoul so he wanted him to die.

The Phantom, Christine and Raoul In the Phantom’s house, Christine pulled off his mask suddenly. The Phantom was very angry and shouted, “_____.” But Christine was neither afraid nor shocked at all. Seeing the Phantom’s horrible face, she only felt sorry for him. She said to the poor creature, “_____.” Then slowly and gently, she kissed his face. The Phantom cried with joy and released Raoul, telling him, “_____.” Then he disappeared magically, and was never seen again.
