Stories
Stories can be written either in the first or the third-person and present a series of events, real or imaginary. The events in the story should be written in the order in which they happen. Stories include:
an introductory paragraph which sets the scene (describes the time, place, people, activity, weather, etc);
main body paragraphs (describing incidents leading up to the main event, the main event itself and its climax);
a concluding paragraph (describing what happens in the end, peopletasks reactions/feelings, etc).
Stories are characterised by:
the use of past tenses (The sun was shining brightly when they set out. She put on her coat, opened the door and went outside. When the waiter brought the bill, Mr Bartlett was embarrassed to find he had forgotten to bring his wallet.);
linking words/phrases that convey time and sequence of events (first/at first, then/ next, after/before that, during, while, meanwhile, as soon as, the moment that, by the time, in the end/finally, etc);
descriptive adjectives/adverbs to make the story more interesting (elegant, pleasant, breathtaking, fast, politely, softly, etc);
direct speech to make the story more dramatic ("What are you doing?" she yelled.).

A Lucky Escape by Jane Lucas
1 One Friday afternoon, last winter, I was travelling home on the bus. It was very cold and the rain was pounding heavily against the windows. I was looking forward to having a hot bath and a cooked meal to warm myself up once I got home. I had no idea that I would have a very lucky escape.
2 The bus was making its way along the high street when something went terribly wrong. We were only about five minutes away from my house when suddenly the driver slammed his brakes on. Everyone on the bus was thrown forwards and then the bus skidded, spun around and veered off the road. The last thing I remember is spinning over and over.
3 When I came round, people were moaning. My head was throbbing and there was blood running down the side of my face. I realised I was trapped in the bus which was on its side, but I could hear the sound of sirens in the distance. Soon after that, the emergency services were cutting us out of the vehicle and taking people to hospital.
4 Fortunately, a couple of hours and three stitches later, I was able to go home. I was extremely relieved that no one was seriously injured and very happy to finally make it home.
