Title: Important Past Events

2.1 Pre writing

2.1.1 Read Rick’s story and rewrite it by using the third person.
Hi, my name is Rick. Yesterday was a terrible day for me because I stayed at
home all day. I wanted to go out but it was raining outside. I was tired of being
inside my house. I tried to play with my little brother, but he was doing his

homework. My father was reading the newspaper and my mother was knitting.
After having lunch I decided to sit by the window. Some people were waiting at
the bus stop. While I was watching the street I saw an accident. A car didn’t stop
at the traffic lights and hit another car. Fortunately nobody was injured. Now I am
waiting for a friend. We will go to the park and play soccer together. I injured my arm while I was playing
soccer last week, but it is ok now. My team needs its goalkeeper!
