⭐ For a proper story, ensure you use the Past Simple tense for completed actions (e.g., "they found," "she went," "it rained") and Past Continuous for background actions (e.g., "while they were hiking").

Examples: A sudden storm, a lost map, or a broken piece of equipment. 5. Solve the Problem Describe the actions the characters take to fix things. Use sequence words: , Then , Next , and Finally . 6. The Conclusion End with how the characters feel or what they learned. Make sure the goal from step 3 is reached or changed.

To write a "proper story" in the context of this level, you should follow these six standard steps: 1. Identify Your Characters Give your main character a name (e.g., Alex or Mia).

Mention it takes place (e.g., yesterday afternoon or during a weekend hike). 3. Establish a Goal What does the character want to do?

Describe the story happens (e.g., a stormy mountain, a busy city, or a quiet park).

Examples: Finding a lost dog, winning a sports game, or finishing a school project. 4. Introduce a Problem Create a conflict or obstacle.
