  • What interesting thing happened?
  • What time did you leave the city to go home?
Use these discourse markers in your story:


For example:
It started when we went to London by plane. At 10 o'clock, we arrived at our hotel. Then we went to a restaurant to have hot chocolate and cookies for breakfast. It was delicious. Next, we visited the museum. Suddenly, there were a lot of people on the road so it was difficult for us to leave the museum. Eventually, we got outside where we saw the best football player in the world. He was signing autographs and taking pictures. We joined the line so that we could get a picture. Unfortunately our bus arrived so we had to leave. While we were walking toward the bus, it started to move. Before long, we started running. In the end, we missed it. As a result, we took a taxi. It was very expensive. Finally, we got home at 11:00 pm and went to bed.
