Hi guys!
We have studied both the past simple and the past continuous together with the use of connectors (so, beacuse, etc) in Unit 2. So this time we'll all invent a story together! Each of us will write a part of the story. Is it clear?
I'll start:
It was already 7 pm. She was cooking dinner when the phone rang. It was a very unexpected call...

She heard a serious voice: "Are you Susan?" She didn't recognize the man who said that. But she answered: "Yes, I am. Who are you?"
ReplyDelete"I have to talk to you, it's important" said the misterious man. Then, another man began to shout and she didn't hear nothing more. Susan was confused, she didn't understand this call. "It might be a wrong call", she thought, "but then, how that man knew my name?" ...

ReplyDeleteshe didn't hear nothing more: didn't hear ANYTHING else
When you make phone calls or answer the phone, you usually use IT: Is it Susan?... Who is it?
Sunddenly a strong wind opened the window of kitchen. Susan started to feel fear. Then drank some water and she thought...

Susan, don't be afraid! You live in a third floor, without elevators! So you relax! While she was closing the window, she saw something was flying into the dining room. She thought it was a bird, but when she went in the room, she saw a beautiful slender woman, but ... she was white like snow!. She looked at her hypnotic eyes, ...

What's happening?...she thought; maybe "I have to go to bed, I'm a little tired". She started up the stairs when the phone rang again...
ReplyDelete"I don't know what it's happening", she said. "I'm very confused". "I'm going to forget that call and continue with my routine". Immediately, she started to feel dizzy, and she fell down.

...She thought about the mysterious call. Who was that man?. Why did he have her mobile number?. And why did he want to talk to her?...
ReplyDeleteIt was a windy cloudy night and there weren´t a lot of people in the street.
Susan was thinking about the man when Megan got home. She was her flatmate.
- What´s that smell? –said Megan-
- Oh, my god! The dinner!!
Susan turned off the cooker. She was very nervous because she had a bad feeling, so she began to tell Megan about the mysterious man´s call. They were talking when someone rang the doorbell…

There have been so many comments that the story has different lines. Now, let's see: there is a first call, a woman who is very pale, a second call and Megan.
ReplyDeletehypnotic eyes ... and fell down in a supeficial dream; she dreamt a lot of things, all of them so real than she didn't know if it was a dream or it was happening at that moment. When she woke up, the woman still stood there, and said: Mike wanted to warn you, but when he was phoning you they discovered him. Remember "you are one of us and you must fight". Before I go, I'll give you something ...

What's the matter with you, mates?
ReplyDeleteShe could give her a power. What about this power? What do you think about to see the future?; or to change the past?; or to save lifes?; or to give peace all around her?; ....? Come on!
Or we can continue with Megan: perhaps the first call wanted to warn about Megan, because she wasn´t a good woman and she was stealing something or ... she was a fool scientific that wanted to carry out an experiment with Susan ........

Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteI´ll try to write something… Let´s see what do you think about…
When Susan opened her eyes, it was 8’30 pm. “What´s happened?”. She began to remember that she was cooking, and it was 7’00 pm when the phone rang… Yes, that strange call… that man… After that, everything was confused, she thought that she saw something strange in the dining room, and when she went to have a look, she fell dizzy… Next memories were vague, little pieces of a puzzle without a logical connection. She remembered a thin pale woman who was saying to her very strange things about someone called Mike, and a team in which she had to fight… She also remembered she was talking with her old flatmate, Megan, about the man´s call…
- "It´s clear now, everything was a dream" –thought Susan- , because Megan was her flatmate when they were studying together at university 10 years ago. After he finished her degree in journalism, Susan got a job in a magazine. She met Derek right there, and two years later they were married and Luke was born, their first and only son.
The stress of her last week could be the reason… she was working without a rest in an article for the magazine about organized crime. Yes, she was sure that the fatigue made her fell dizzy, and everything was a dream… Mysterious call Included, nothing was logical.
The football match of Luke finished half an hour ago –Thought Susan-. Derek and Luke are coming. She took of the floor, the sewing box that fell when she passed out, and went to the kitchen to continue cooking dinner…
Suddenly the phone rang again… This time, it was her mobile phone…

I am lost. The story is very confused. What about this?

She was cooking for his friend. They celebrated Maria´s birthday and her house was the biggest. They have decided celebrate there and she must cook for all. When the phone rang she thought might be one of her friends who tell her anything about the party. She surprised a lot when the interlocutor told:
Hello I am you but twenty years older... You will be rich because the next weekend you sold lottery and you wan it.

ReplyDeleteJoe woke up. He was lying down on a comfortable bed. The sun was shining. It was a lovely day, but he didn't know what day it was. "Oh", "I have a horrible headache...". "Where am I? He looked at the room. It looked like an hospital room. "Oh, my god", he cried. Where is Susan, my Susan, my sweetheart?, he started to cried.
ReplyDelete"Does anybody help me?", HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

Guys, I think the story has turned out to be really confusing. It worked really well in previous years, though! Well, thanks for taking part in it anyways!
ReplyDeleteI think we must to wait for the previous classmate´s commentary and try to follow the story, maybe we sent a lot of commentaries at the same time...
ReplyDeleteIt´s true that the story is completely lost, it´s a pity... But thankyou, because this exercise liked me a lot.

I'm glad to hear that :)
ReplyDelete(I liked this exercise a lot)
I have a problem with my PC, the keyboard is doing rare things, so I´´m sorry by mistakes.
ReplyDeleteDear classmates, schoolmates, and teacher, why don´´t we begin again with a new story?.
I have a proposition, we can write about the last entry and if there´re a lot of classmates who wrote at the same time, Emi can to decide which one to choose. We´´re adult persons, I think nobody´´s going to get angry…
When Emy put the new entry, we must to write about that, but respecting the line. Doesn´´t matter if it was a love story, a scary story, a X-Files story… We can to use our imagination…
What do you think?

It's a good suggestion, thanks. However, given that we don't have too much time before the exams, I'd say to stop working on this activity. There have been many students taking part in it. We'll do more activities later on in the year.
