Title My Birthday
Orientation Hello, my name is Lusi. I celebrated my thirteen birthday a
month ago. My mom and grandpa made a special birthday
party for me.
Sequence of events
Event 1 There should be a storyteller in my party. Mommy had
invited him to tell many stories to my guests. Unluckily, only an
hour before his coming he got an accident. He was on his way
to my party, when suddenly a motorcycle hit him and made
him injured.
Event 2 I was so sad imagining that my party would not be
interesting for my friends. I thought they would be bored in the
party. Until my grandpa came and became my superhero. He
invited all of my friends to sit in front of him and he started to
tell his funny stories. Everyone laughed. Everyone was happy.
Reorientation That was really the best birthday party I have ever had,
and I was the happiest person that night since my grandpa
made me proud in front of my friends.
GOOD LUCK
