What do you mean by "a prose"? I can give you some sentences using these words, but if you need them put together into a story, that's for you to do.

Mum, please give me some biscuits! Quickly, hide behind the wall - there's a bobby coming! Let's go to the cinema tomorrow evening. She was engaged in writing a letter to her cousin. Let's take the lift - the room is on the 25th floor. Where is the loo? It's raining outside - you'll need a mackintosh. I'll ring you up tomorrow. [Sweetmeats is archaic - you never hear it in normal speech. We say sweets] I'm just going out to buy some sweets for the children. The underground train is known in London as the Tube.

I have to say that "bobby" "engaged" and "mackintosh" are, along with "sweetmeats," rather old-fashioned terms.
