| writing a story - exam style questions |
Here are some typical questions of the kind you will find in GCSE English exams. Typically you should aim to write perhaps two or three sides.
| 1. Write about the most exciting thing that has happened to you. 2. Write about the most difficult / interesting / embarrassing / enjoyable situation you have faced. 3. Write a story opening with the line: "When I/he/she closed that door, I/he/she knew my/his/her life would never be the same again..." 4. Write about an important occasion in your life. 5. Write a story with the title, "My/His/Her Dream". 6. Write a story ending with the line, "There is no way I/he/she/they would go through that again!" 7. Holidays can be fun... or not. Write about a holiday that stands out in your memory. +++ Remember it is your story writing skills the examiner is testing - not your ability to tell the truth! +++
