Miss Chara'a Lower for Monday 6/4
Have a nice month you guys!!!
For next time I want you to write a story!
Go to this link : A story
and do the preparation task. After read the model essay.
Pay attention to how the story is divided clearly in paragraphs and has a beginning, a middle and an end (the more suprising the ending the better!) Also, you should use a variety of narrative tenses like the author highlighted with yellow (past simple, past continuous and past perfect), of course you should use linking and time words to link the story and make it more interesting.
Finally another tip (highlighted with blue) is to use direct speech - the actual words of someone- (in quotation marks " " ) or reported speech if you report back on what someone has said, these two make the story more lively and less monotonous and dull.
Move on by doing the 3 following exercises.
Now, it's your turn to write a story:
