## Retelling a story

This is the last exercise of this lesson.

I present you with three audio fragments. From these fragments you can put together a story. You need to take notes when you are listening so that you can recreate this story, in English, and in your own words. Please make sure that your story covers everything that is mentioned in the audio fragments.

⇒ What is the best way of tackling this ?

1) Collect information from the pictures & the audio

2) Organise your information in your QADS

3) Put together the story in your mind and in writing

4) Use the verbs in the past tense

First look at the pictures that form the beginning of the story.

Then write down the following questions in your QADS.

Who

(who is the main person, what is it about him that drives the story ?)

What

(what is the content of the story, what is the role of the main character ?)

Why

(reasons for things happening)

When / where

(which details are relevant ?)

After this preparation, collect your information (use your ear) and write down your answers in your QADS.
