A SHORT STORY is usually written for an English-language magazine or anthology, or a website. The main purpose is to engage the interest of the reader. Effective answers have a clear storyline which links coherently to the prompt sentence and demonstrates a sound grasp of narrative tenses.
In the short story, students should be aware of the importance of developing a clear and coherent storyline from the prompt sentence. There is ample scope for imagination in this task, and the use of interesting adjectives, adverbs and expressions should be encouraged. Good use of linking words, particularly time expressions, is also important in this task.
