This makes it easier for readers to understand how the story develops. The arrangement of Two geniuses is an example.Organizing a storyOpening paragraphs: Information about the characters (Einstein and Hans) and about the main event of the story (the lecture).
Other paragraphs: The events of the story in time order, i.e., what happened before, during and after the lecture.Note: Most stories are about the past, so verbs in stories are usually in the past tense except when we use direct speech.Writing a good story either in first or third person means describing a sequence (连续) of events in an interesting, lively way. What is a good story?A good story should consist of:
1. An interesting beginning to catch the
reader’s attention and make him / her
want to go on reading your story.
2. Good development in the main body
to develop your story. You should use
appropriate(适当的) tenses, especially
past ones.e.g. Past simple to describe the main events, Past continuous to set the scene, Past perfect to talk about events which happened before the main events, etc.
(eg. He went out of the car. It was raining hard and a cold wind was blowing. He had rung her ten minutes before, so he knew she would be waiting.) 3. A good ending. If possible, an
unexpected (想不到) or
unpredictable (出乎意料的) ending
to surprise the reader and create a
long-lasting impression on your
piece of writing. Introduction
