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

I
believe is easy to know the regular verbs, but sometimes we don't know the
