Sally sat at the back of the classroom, looking out of the window. She didn't hear
what the teacher said because she was thinking about her big problem.........
Sally jumped up and ran to the phone. She just knew everything was going to be
alright again.
Now write two ideas what Sally's problem could be:
1. His parents had had an accident in the car and did not know how they were just
expecting a phone call
2. Sally had a debt to the bank this month and had no money to pay; I was
expecting a call from her parents who could possibly help him
Choose the idea you like best, and write about it. Write the story again putting your
middle between the beginning and the end of the story of Sally's problem.

"I didn't like the story about the ship; it was boring and the pictures in it
weren't very good. J.R Smith wrote "The Sinking of the Titanic" because his
father was killed when the ship hit an iceberg. More than 1,000 people died
when the ship sank. I don't like True Life stories - I prefer adventures."
