Structure of information

Combine description with narration.

We were in all in our new Toyota Rav4, ready for the set-off. I was wearing a tracksuit, because it is comfortable for driving. The kids were at the back with the videoscreen ready…

DESCRIPTION:  use of adjectives, nouns/ some verbs that don’t indicate action/ you can use the past continuous.

NARRATION:

Finally, we set off and we got onto the motorway A-7 toward el Altet. We drove very fast because we thought it was late.

NARRATION: more verbs, few adjectives/ verbs of action, which usually go in past simple

CHANGE OF FORTUNE-

Everything was going fine. We were all happy to start the day when suddenly it started to rain. What a disaster!
