I wish you a Merry Christmas time again and I remind you that below this entry you have the CHRISTMAS HOMEWORK (three tasks). Don't forget it!
One of the tasks is writing a story in the Writing paper that you have. Here you have the most important instructions to write it:
General instructions
- It needs to have a minimum of 100 words. You have enough space to write in one of the sections
- Write a draft (borrador) in another paper. You should use the template I gave you for the final one
- Use paragraphs to separate your ideas
Story instructions
- Add a title
- Start with some formula such as "Once upon a time..." (Érase una vez), "One day..." or "When it all started..."
- Use past tenses: they are the most common ones in a story
- During the story, use connectors to link your ideas. They create a great effect!
-Firstly / Secondly / Thirdly
-As soon as (tan pronto como)
-In the meantime (mientras tanto)
-Suddenly (de repente)
-At the same time
- Finish the story with a proper ending: include words like "finally" or "at the end"
- Try to be creative: your imagination is the only limit! I love reading your great stories and it will be a great practice for KET / PET exams in 6th grade

Here you have an example of a story (don't copy it, it's only a model!)
THE MAGIC WARDROBE
Once upon a time
there was a girl called Mery. She really loved Christmas. Everything
was great : spending time with family, opening presents, sleeping
until late…
One day she was
playing with her toys when she heard a noise coming from the
wardrobe.
She was very
curious, so she went there. She came closer and suddenly a little elf
appeared. He was so funny! He started to jump and wanted to play with
her all the time.
From that day on, they became best friends but they could only meet during Christmas
time. The rest of the year
the elf was busy creating new toys!
Best,
Mery
