I- Sample story 1

 

Yesterday, it was about two o'clock in the morning, and suddenly I woke up. I heard a noise. I got out of bed and went slowly downstairs. There was on in the living room. I listened carefully.

I could hear two men speaking very quietly. 'burglars!' I thought. 'Two burglars!'. Immediately, I ran back upstairs and called the police. I was really frightened. Fortunately, the police arrived quickly. They opened the front door and went into the living room. Then they came upstairs to find me. "It's all right now, sir, they explained. 'We turned the television off for you."

II- Sample story 2

 

I was coming out of my English class one afternoon wearing my new high heels. But coming down some stairs, I lost my balance and started to wobble. And suddenly, I knew I was going to fall! As I fell. I grabbed on to someone's legs to stop falling.

Of curse, it didn't help, and I fell anyway. But imagine my horror when I saw what I was holding on to. It was someone's jeans. I had pulled them down when I fell! I looked up and saw a boy, standing with his jeans around his ankles. I don’t know who was more embarrassed then, him or me!
