Writing Tip
Writing stories
Stories can be about real or imaginary situations. They can be in first person (I, we) or third person (he, she, they). Before we start writing a story, we first decide on the type of story, the main characters and the plot. In the first paragraph, we set the scene (when/ where it happened, main characters, weather, what happened first).
In the main body paragraphs, we describe the events in the order they happened leading to the climax event (the main event), and the main event. In the final paragraph, we write what happened in the end and how the character(s) felt.
We normally use past tenses and time linkers (as, when, after, later, while, suddenly, finally, etc) to help the reader follow our story. We can also use a variety of adjectives and adverbs and direct speech to make our story more interesting to the reader.

The Runaway Train
By John Brown
During my summer holiday, my friend James and I were travelling across the USA. One day, we decided to take a journey on a steam train, which became a thrilling adventure. Little did we know that we were in for a terrifying experience. We had been enjoying the smooth ride when something went terribly wrong. We had just come out of a tunnel and we were slowly making our way down a hill when, suddenly, there was a loud screeching noise. Then, instead of slowing down we began to speed up.
People started screaming frantically. As we all held onto our seats, the train started rocking dangerously from side to side. A man got out of his seat and ran quickly to the front of the train. A few minutes later, the train began to slow down. Soon after that, we pulled into the next station and we all got up anxiously to see what had happened. It seems the driver had hit his head and fallen unconscious. Luckily, the passenger had got there in time to slow down the train and save the day. We were relieved to hear that no one had been hurt and that the driver was well.

Setting the scene
When we write a story, we start by setting the scene. To do so, we imagine we are looking at a picture and try to describe the place (where), the time (when), the weather, the people involved (who), and what happens. We can use our senses to make the descriptions more vivid. We can describe what we see (e.g. a cute dog), hear (e.g. barking), feel (‘e.g. soft grass) or smell (e.g. the scent of orange trees).
8 Look at the picture and use the prompts to set the scene. Start with the sentence given.
Steve & his friends

Steve could never expect his weekend trip would end like this.
9 Put the pictures in the correct order (1-4) to make the outline of a story. Listen and check.
