The night goes on

I'm Peter, the man who is with Sharon I've just met her in this bar and we've ordered a drink. She's nice and funny; I was really lucky I met her because I don't like drinking alone, not after this awful day. I don't want to go with my wife

The seventh... Lover

I've been a barman for a long time, so I know all the customers. One of them is a woman who usually wears red dresses. She often comes here with men and asks me to put poison on their drinks! There's another man who seems to control her...

The night goes on

I'm preapring two drinks, a dry martini and a whiskey, for this couple that has just arrived. Although the man seems married , I think she's not his wife. The man on my left is looking at them a lot. It seems he is following them.

The night goes on

I feel more than exhausted and see myself as a grumpy detective at this time of the day. It's so late!
I'm so bored with all this tracing and following people....
And now this stupid couple said they want to go to a night club!
I wonder if I'll survive.

The seventh...Lover

I met her two weeks ago. She is the woman of my dreams. I can't live without her. I can't stop thinking on her so I've just phoned her and we are going to meet in our special place. I'm so nervous because I'm going to ask her to marry me.

The Seventh...Lover

I´m here again with this poor man. We´ve been going out for half a year and he seems to be quite hooked on me. Now it´s the time. I´m going to hint the barman and he´ll poison his drink. Then, we´ll get all his money and choose another victim.

The night goes on

I'm Sharon. I'm a dancer and I'm performing at a late show. I just ordered a dry martini and I'm now talking to Peter, the man next to me. I wasn't in a chatting mood when I got here, but I must confess he's attractive. I wonder if he's married...

The seventh...Lover

I've always been interested in dealing with amazing stories as part of my job. My boss asked me to follow a woman who seems to have done something terrible. She's been married six times and I have to find out if she has really killed her last husband. I must come here to the chocolate cupcake bar to see what happens ..

Night story at the bar

 

• In groups of four (as far as possible), sit together and decide what story the painting above tells... Who are these people? Do they know each other? What have they done/are they about to do?
• Decide on a title for your story
• Then, individually, in a new post here on our blog, write the story from the point of view of one of the characters (ie. in the first person), in exactly 50 words. Note that each of your has to be a different character!
• Post your work here on our blog, with the title you agreed on as the post title, and "Creative writing projects" as the label
• Check with the other people in your group that the story is consistent (ie. there are no contradictions) and coherent (ie. that we understand it)
• Read what they are writing, and see how the story could be improved (i.e. talk about it!)
• Hyperlink to the other versions of your story (ie. what the other characters say)
• For decoration, add the appropriate image for your character to your post (from the shared folder), making it "Large", "Right" when you upload.

Pronunciation: the -ed suffix

Hello everyone!

I believe is easy to know the regular verbs, but sometimes we don't know the correct pronunciation. For this reason, I decided talk about it.

Pronunciation of the past
If the verb ends sounds such as: /s/, /f/, /k/, /ʃ /, /tʃ /, /p/ the '-ed' is pronounced as… / t /		If the ends in vowel sounds or in sounds as: /z/, /m/, /l/, /r/, /n/ the ‘-ed’ is pronounced as…  / d /		If the verb ends in /d/ or in /t/ the ‘-ed’ is pronounced as… / id /
