Stories
1 Stories are written in the first person (I/we) or third person (he/they) and are about a series of events, real or imaginary. Stories consist of:
an introduction in which we set the scene (Who, when. where, what).
a main body consisting of two or more paragraphs where we develop our story, presenting the events that lead to the climax event. We present the events in the order they happened.
a conclusion in which we write what happened at the end of the events and how people felt
We can use a variety of past tenses as well as a variety of adjectives or adverbs to make our story more interesting to the reader. We should always decide on the plot before writing a story. We link our ideas with appropriate words, e.g. as soon as, while, before, first etc
You’re studying in England. The college magazine has asked its readers to send in stories entitled A Day to remember.
Write a story 120-200 words with this title.
A Day to Remember
I woke up early on the day of the exam. It was a wet and windy day. I’ve often been late for college on rainy days because bad weather affects my bus so I quickly put on my raincoat and left the house.
I ran towards the bus stop but before I got there I realised I didn’t have my ID with me. I ran back home, got it and ran as fast as I could to the bus stop.
As I got close, I saw the bus leaving. I waved my hands wildly but the driver didn’t notice me. I decided to get a taxi. I was lucky to find one but the traffic was terrible on the main road. We moved about 500 metres in half an hour! The driver tried to use smaller, quieter streets but they were crowded too. We reached college 15 minutes before the exam would start. I paid the taxi driver and ran up the stairs, but I slipped and fell on the ground. I tried to get up but my leg was very sore.
Then I saw a friend of mine. He kindly helped me stand up and offered to give me a lift home. «But the exam starts in a few minutes, » I said. He looked at me then said «The exam isn’t on the 4th, it’s on the 14th. » I was so surprised I couldn’t say a word.

An unforgettable journey

Last summer I went on a journey to the Lake District with my family. We set off early in the morning, and I was very excited because it was my first trip there.

At first, everything went well. The weather was warm and sunny, and the views were beautiful. We stopped near a small lake to have a picnic and take photos. Suddenly, dark clouds appeared and it started to rain heavily. We hurried back to the car, but the road was slippery and our car got stuck in the mud.

Luckily, a kind farmer saw us and helped pull the car out. After that, we found a small café and had hot tea there. By the end of the day, we were tired, but happy. It was really an unforgettable journey because of all the unexpected events.
