Curriculum project, 2008. — 34 Pages. Second Edition.In this module (Levels B1 - B2 - C1 - IELTS), students practice narrating events in the past. This skill is useful for relating both fictional and factual accounts; stories, reports, personal letters, biographies, journals and many other uses.
Narrating is used to describe any events that happen in chronological order. Often people narrate things in the present tense. Example of this include:
- Giving instructions (First, put the petrol in the generator. Then, turn the switch to the left.)
- Describing a process (The competitors line up at the start. Next, they stand behind the line and
unit for the starting signal. When they hear the starting signal, the race begins.)
- Commenting on an event as it happens, eg a television or radio reporter, or a Narrator on a documentary film (The lions are chasing the deer - see how two lions have run in front of the
deer. Now; they are moving in for the kill. Next, the front lion jumps at the deer.)
In this module, we are concentrating on narrating in the past. Future modules will cover narrating processes and writing instructions.
