Hi Guys!
This week, we have been studying different uses of gerunds and infinitives. This is the task I want you to do. Below, you will find a story starter and three verbs. I need you to continue narrating the story in a short post (around 50 words). You must use the verbs given plus a gerund, an infinitive or a verb in base form. The first person to post should leave 3 new verbs for the next person, and so on. Make sure you use the verbs from the lists provided and do not repeat them. Good luck! JMC.
*During a tour of the infamous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, two adventurous teens get separated from the group and find themselves locked in the house overnight... (prefer - believe in - expect)
*Taken from http://www.southark.edu/en/images/stories/story_starters_spooky.pdf
And seeing that it was late at night they prefer to visit the place in search of an exit. One of them said, we believe there is someone else in this place, they expected to see if it was true or not
ReplyDelete(avoid, cut, died)
Nice start!
Deletesuddenly they hear a noise, break dishes in the kitchen, avoiding hearing that was what happened they decided to run, while they were running one of them cut his head with an anchor hanging from the roof of the house, everyone was scared of dying. MARIAN MAYEA MACIAS (DISCUSS, CARE ABOUT, PLAN)
ReplyDeleteThen, one of them listened to a strange noise: What was that noise?... asked one of them. I don't know but I think it comes from the living room, answered the other one. They discussed trying to understand what was happening. They cared about not being alone in the house so they were planning to find a way to go out of the house, suddenly a child appeared. The child was mysterious. He had a disturbing and dark look. Gilmar Daniel Villamar González (can't stand, imagine, refuse).
ReplyDeleteNice idea of the mysterious child! Very scary!
DeleteWhen they noticed the child's body, one of them can't stand screaming. Meanwhile the other one, who was bleeding, refused to accept that something was wrong, so he thought that all this events were a bad joke and imagined the best way talking with the boy. Regrettably both of then were surprised when saw what the boy held in his small hands... (tolerate, persuade, enjoy)
ReplyDeleteGood! Loved the ending...
DeleteThe teenager who was bleeding persuaded the boy to show them The hand and in the hand the boy carried an old key. Both teenagers thought That they could use it to go out, but the boy didnt want to give them the key. So The teenagers began planning how to get the key and when they turned their heads the boy had disappeared. The bleeding teen didn't tolerate waiting more time in that house and he started to cry, the other teen told him calm down, you enjoy solving problems like in movies? Let's go we have to find That kid ( Forbid, keep on, Wish)
ReplyDeleteThen Thomas stopped crying and said I wish to see that child one more time and face him it's time to be a brave man and we should get out here. Blake said him "well spoken man". After two hours of walking in circles Thomas couldn't walk and said he needed to rest, Blake said I'm sorry Thomas I Know you're hurt and tired but I forbid resting in this place come on we should keep on walking and find to this child is the only one that know how get out of here... (Look forward to, offer, continue)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good to know those teens have a name! Good!
DeleteThey were tired of walking and decided to sit on the floor. They looked forward to finding the child and going out of this place. They listened to someone walking around the house. They thought that was the child and they continued chasing the steps. They found the child and he told that "I don't want to anyone go out because i don't want to be alone". They understood it and they offered to stay with him . If he let them go out for help....Viviana Cruz Leon (insist on,justify , promise)
ReplyDeleteInteresting twist...
DeleteThe kid insisted Blake and Tomas not leaving him alone and he said: I will show you the exit If you take me with my mommy. Blake and Thomas said ok and then They follow the child. The kid toke them out of that house and they were really happy. The kid said: You are out my house, now you have to take me with my mommy. The guys didn't note the word "my" and they just walk with the kid. Then they found three graves and the kid said: "We arrive, There is my mommy" and he started to cry. Blake and Thomas tried to calm the kid, but the kid said: Do You know what would make my mom and myself happy? That you stay with us forever!" The kid toke out a knife and killed Blake. The kid justifys him act saying that It was the best for his mommy. And He said to Thomas: "You can run, but I promise to kill you when my mom wake up"
ReplyDelete:O Very creepy!
Delete(What about the verbs?)... Thomas ran away the fastest he could ,falling down in a well full of spikes 10 mts down , dying slowly he just accepted his fatal ending and didn't ask for help ," why this happened to us" , we were such nice guys he asked to himself, then he died breaking the promise of the kid , next scene just show thomas opening his eyes ,at the moment he asked to blake for them walking apart of the group...what do you think happened? ANDRES HERRERA
ReplyDeleteSuppose that they're the verbs (propose, decide , agree)
DeleteWhen Blake proposed to go into the house. Thomas didn´t answer fast so, his friend repeated the question and noticed that something was badly with him.
The fact was that Thomas was fearful. He thought "I can´t keep with this story in my head" And he decided to tell it. While Thomas was telling what could happen, Blake felt a bad vibe in the air. Both were scared when he finally said if they entered the house, they would die at the end...
Thomas agreed not to go in but also told him that he saw a boy like he described beside him when he just started to tell the story... (Cristina Gallardo need- confess to- report)
Nice ending!
DeleteVery well done! I am really impressed with, first, how well you used gerunds and infinitives; and, second, with your imagination and great creativity. You all helped create a very cool story, a little creepy, though. Nice job!
