Writing a Narrative

Tom is a rich man who lives in Melourne. He is happily married and has two children. He lives in a big house in Toorak. Last weekend, he decided to take his family to spend some time in a big park in the city.
At 9 o’clock in the morning, he started to prepare a delicious breakfast for his family. His wife was still in bed. The sun was shining and the weather was perfect for a day out. The kids were very happy and excited to go out with their parents. It was a special day for them.
The family finished breakfast and the children put on nice clothes and nice shoes. They wanted to walk in the park with their parents and have some fun.
Tom drove his new expensive car to the city and parked not far away from the park. The kids jumped out of the car and started to run in the park. Tom and his wife ran after them. They had a lot of fun.
Not long after that, the sun disappeared and it started to rain. They sky became cloudy and ther was thunder. The kids felt afraid and disappointed. They wanted to enjoy the day with their parents. They started to walk back quickly to the car.

Tom and his family were wet by the time they reached the car. The kids went in the car and Tom put the heater on.
Tom started driving the car and headed to Box Hill. The rain stopped but it was not sunny any more. Tom took the kids to a restaurant to have a nice Chinese meal in a big restaurant in the shopping centre. The family enjoyed the food because they were hungry. They always liked eating Chinese food.
Not long after that, it became dark. Tom and his family felt very tired. The kids started to feel sleepy and one of them fell asleep at the table. It was time for the small family to go home because the kids needed to go to school the following day.

Excursion to Melbourne Aquarium

This post is an important announcement to my student in class 1018 (Tuesday - Morning). I will not be able to go to the excursion because I have a very important meeting in the city. My co-teacher who teaches you on Monday will contact you by phone to tell you where to meet and when to go. This will be done today. The actual guided tour will start at 11 am. You will need to be there before that of course. I am sure you will have a nice time there. I will see you in 10 days or so. Have fun!

A Fine

One sunny day in the city of Melbourne, a tall man was getting out into the railway station. It was such a busy day and the station was crowded. He was running late to catch his train and he didn’t have time to buy a ticket. He checked the time and found that the train was leaving in 1 minute and he didn’t want to miss the train because he didn’t want to be late for his job interview. So he jumped on the train without a ticket.



He sat down and started to read the newspaper. He was reading about the bushfires in Victoria. Suddenly he saw some inspectors coming on to the train. He started to feel nervous because he didn’t have a ticket. He tried to move to the front of the train because he was worried about getting a fine. His heart started beating very fast and he was sweating. Other people were looking at him and he felt embarrassed. Not long after that, one of the inspectors asked him to show his ticket. He slowly put his hand in his pocket and pretended to have a ticket, but he couldn’t find his ticket. The inspector asked him politely for some identification. He tried to talk, but he was too nervous.

The inspector explained to him that he should have bought a ticket before he got on the train. The tall man explained to the inspector that he was going to an important job interview and didn’t have enough time to buy a ticket. The inspector said that he understood the situation, but he would still have to give him a fine. At the next station the tall man got off the train and found out that he was late for his job interview.


He was extremely nervous and he ran to the building where his interview was being held. He gave his name and they told him he should have been there half and hour earlier, but they allowed him to have his interview. During the interview the manager was very happy with him, and decided that they would give him a call. He was happy about the interview, but not sure if he would be offered the job.

Three days later he got a telephone call from the company and he was offered the job. After getting his first salary he paid his fine and bought a bottle of champagne and celebrated with his wife. He understood that he should follow the law in any situation.
