3e Writing Skills
1. What can a story be about? What makes it interesting? Read the box to check.
Stories can be written in the first person (I/we) or the third person (he/she/they) and can be about real or imaginary events.
A variety of past tenses is used.
A good story includes:
• an introduction (Para 1) that sets the scene (introduces the characters, says when/where the events happened, etc.);
• a main body (Paras 2-3) that develops the story, giving the events in the order they happened and describing the climax event (the most important event in the story). Appropriate linking words (then, as soon as, while, etc.) should be used to show the sequence of events;
• a conclusion (Para 4) that says what happened at the end of the story and describes the characters'feelings and reactions; To make your story more interesting, you should use a variety of verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Do not use simplistic ones like nice, good, bad, well, etc.

2. Look at the title of the story and the picture. What kind of story do you expect to read? What could it be about?
The Ghostly Inn
1 Three friends were chatting excitedly as they were driving down to the south coast of England for their camping holiday. It was getting dark, so Danny
suggested that they find somewhere to stay for the night. Almost immediately, Mark spotted a small inn by the side of the road.
2 When they went in, they saw a young policeman talking in the lounge with some people. What was strange was that the people were wearing very oldfashioned clothes! Tom took a few photos and they stayed the night. The next morning, they paid the bill, which seemed extremely cheap, and then they left.
3 A week later, the friends decided to stay at the inn again on their way home. Unfortunately, though, they could not find it, so they stayed somewhere else. As soon as they got home, Tom got his photographs developed. While he was looking at the pictures of the inn, he saw only his friends and a small white creature behind them.
4 Tom felt very troubled, so he went back with Danny to find the inn. When they arrived where they thought it had been, all they could find were two ruined
buildings. Puzzled, they asked a passer-by about the inn. ‘Oh, there used to be an inn here,’ the old man told the boys, ‘but it closed about a hundred years ago. There was a police station right next to it.’ Immediately, both boys remembered the policeman they had seen sitting in the inn. They both gasped in horror. They had spent the night with ghosts of the past!
