The BEGINNING says where and when a story happens and who the people or

characters are.

The MIDDLE tells what happens to these people.

The CONCLUSION tells how the story ends.

Read the story below. It has a beginning and a conclusion but no middle.

SALLY'S PROBLEM

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.

1. Sally had a big problem with her parents because she wanted to go to the

school travel but her parents had a serious economic problems.

2. Sally was going to lose her school year because her parents were going to

be divorced.

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.

Story:

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 .........

Sallys desk and teacher asked her why she was sad and thoughtful, she

answered that she was sad because she cant go to the school travel and her

friends was going to tease her and she had a big problem with her parents.

The teacher asked to Sally, Why cant you go to the school travel? Sally said

that her parents had serious economic problem and for that reason she had

discussed with them.

The teacher said to Sally that she understand her sadness but the family

should stay together in the bad and good moments and she will have several

But it couldn't have been me, said the man pulling nervously at his long

black hair. Ive just got back from a 2 week holiday in France, he said and

took a photo out of his wallet, Look, here I am standing under the Eifel

tower.

One of the police officers looked carefully at the photograph and said: Yes,

you are right; but this picture could not have been taken 4 days ago. I think

you'd better come with us.

But, how did you know?, protested the man.

Well, replied the police man, The photo show you with short hair. It

couldn't possibly have grown so long in just 4 days.

Part Four

Advertisements

Advertisements are written to try and make us buy something. The words in an

advertisement give us a very clear idea of the product, and really make us want to

have it. Look at this example of an advertisement for ice cream:

"Cool, delicious Strawberry Surprise. What could

be nicer on a hot summer's day?"

I go with my friends to a pool party, in this place selling delicious cool

drinks, food and good company. I go for a walk to the beach.

Imagine that you are an advertiser who is trying to get people to try a new car.

Type ten words that can be used to describe cars (you can use your dictionary!):

WORDS

1. Faster 6. Experience

2. Convenient 7. Summer

3. Fun 8. Night

4. Technology 9. Confort

5. Driving 10. Economy

Using some of your words from above and write an advert for a car in the space

below.

It is faster, convenient and fun technology and comfort together to give

the best experience driving.

The new Ferrari, summer nights are no going to be the same.

Making sentences:

Some of the words in these sentences have been put in the wrong place. Can you

fix them? Write the words in the right order. The first sentence has been done for

you.

(Hint: remember that sentences start with capital letters and end with full stops!)

Example: work Your days are and Monday, Wednesday Thursday.

Your work days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

nine oclock to five oclock are hours of work yours

Part Five

Nicknames for New York

Use the words in the box to complete the text below. Write the missing words in the

space.

describe biggest choose name cities nicknames

newspaper recorded city community visitors popular

Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. They can help create

identities, build unity and help people feel a sense of pride in their community.

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the

best nickname for an American cities. The winner was the nations biggest city,

New York. The nickname they chose was The Big Apple.

Where did the nickname Big Apple originally come from? In the nineteen

seventies, New York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors was

falling. A campaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new

nickname. The New York board chose the nickname The Big Apple

It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A

journalist for a New York newspaper had used the name The Big Apple to

name New York in the nineteen twenties.

The Big Apple was also the city of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City

in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and hit song

around that time.

The Big Apple is not the only nickname for Americas biggest city. Almost one

hundred nicknames that describe New York have been recorded. Some of the

best known nicknames for New York are The Capital of the World, Empire City,

Gotham, The City So Nice They Named it Twice and The City That Never

Sleeps.
