Australian English

Today you are going to write a story or narrative that could be selected for publication in a magazine for students all over Australia.
Your writing will be judged on the quality of your ideas, how you organise them and how well you write.


Write a story.

Your story must include the idea of being trapped. It may be you, a friend or an animal that is trapped. Use your imagination. It can be a true or made-up story.

You might like to think about the following:

• Where does the story take place?
• What events lead to being trapped and who is involved?
• What feelings do the characters experience?
• What happens to solve the problems and so end the story?

Some points to remember:

• Give your story a title.
• Pay attention to your sentences, spelling, and punctuation.
• Remember that you are writing this story for a magazine read by students all over Australia.
