Ce trebuie să știi
- O poveste testează capacitatea de a scrie creativ.
- Cerința poate da prima sau ultima propoziție și câteva puncte de conținut — trebuie să le folosești unde ți se cere.
- Ai nevoie de adjective și adverbe colorate, plus multe timpuri verbale.
- Folosește vorbire directă și indirectă.
- Cuvintele de legătură și expresiile de timp arată încotro merge povestea.
- Include un titlu. Folosește paragrafe — planificarea te ajută.
- Scrie povestea O SINGURĂ DATĂ în examen. NU face o ciornă „frumoasă” separat.

Cerința din examen
Your story must begin with this sentence: Jim knew it would be a long journey but he couldn't wait to set off. Your story must include: • A mobile phone • A new friend
Exemplu de răspuns
Jim knew it would be a long journey, but he couldn't wait to set off. He was going to visit his favourite uncle in the city. Jim hadn't seen him for ages, because he lived so far away. Jim's parents, who ran a small shop, were always too busy to take him, but they had finally agreed he was now old enough to make the five-hour train journey on his own. He said goodbye to his parents and walked to the train station, carrying everything he needed for the week in a small rucksack. When he got on the train, the only free seat was next to a boy his own age, who looked very upset. Although Jim was quite shy, he asked him what was wrong. It turned out that the boy, whose name was Billy, had promised to call his mother when he was safely on the train. Unfortunately, he'd left his phone at home so he had no way of contacting her. "Don't worry, you can borrow my phone," Jim said kindly. By the time his uncle picked him up a few hours later, Jim had a new friend.
- Scrie la trecut: past simple, past continuous, past perfect. Pentru note mai mari, adaugă: past perfect continuous, third conditional, wish + past participle.
- Nu încheia cu „Then Kate woke up and it was all a dream”.

Sfaturi
