STORY PRACTICE Here is an example for your homework task:

Max was driving too fast. It was 1pm and he was late for lunch with his boss. He had to get to the restaurant as soon as possible. There wasn’t much traffic on the road, so he felt safe. Suddenly, he heard a police siren. He looked in the mirror and saw a police car right behind him. The policeman told him to pull over, so he stopped at the side of the road. Max was very nervous, and he started sweating. The policeman walked over to Max’s car. He looked very serious. He asked to see Max’s license, then gave him a fine for $150. Max felt terrible as the driver walked away. Now he was late for lunch and $150 poorer! (123 words)
