Ghost story!


Jackson is a poor kid in the town who is in grade 12 in the town. He has got 1 brother. His father is dead since the war 2 years ago. Last Sunday he went to the farm to help his mother for the harvest. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, his mother came home first because she was very tired, so he stayed there alone till 5:30. When he walked back home, it was a bit dark because the cloud seem like it'll raining. About 2 minutes later the rain was coming very heavy so he ran very fast to find the dry place. When he was running toward his house, he saw one old house, so he ran to that house and wait for stop raining. He sat on one old chair in front of the house. The rain is heavier. He though that maybe it's rain till next morning, so he decided to sleep in this house tonight. He opened the door, the house is full of web.

  1. Pimean,
    You are really using your imagination here, I like that! You were able to express tension in the story as we wonder what will happen and what is in the house. I liked imagining him alone in an old house, waiting for the rain to stop.

    Suggestion: Try combining some of your short, simple sentences into a complex sentences. For example: Because his mother was tired, she left in the afternoon while Jackson stayed on to finish the harvest. Complex sentences add variety and keep the story flowing smoothly instead of stopping every few words. How could you combine the first four sentences? What information is important to include?

    Also remember to add the s to 3rd person singular verbs. For example: He stays, he sees, he walks...

    I was confused at the end - did he go into two different houses? He was in a house waiting for the rain to stop, and then... he went into another house?

    I liked imagining who this mysterious old woman was...
