Hello, sorry, I was a little bit late. I was just coming from my other lesson. How are you? Okay? Yes, I am good. Okay, so this was the task. Okay, so the home it was, a billionaire has been found murdered in his mansion, a murder weapon, poison, but who poisoned him? A detective is sold for the crime scene to investigate, write a story describing how the mystery is solved. Okay, could you read it to me? Also forbidden there sorry that the billionaire here is a she. A billionaire what? Sorry a billionaire his a she. The billionaire's hair is a sea, but the bilonaire is a she. Oh, that's fine. That's fine. As a surfruit in the normal morning, a bilonainow to be seen, assusoon, who found in her lair dead, clearly oppoison the crown was in her room, apparently the victim. He bag was stuff with the poison with Siri and my fitness. An hour later, there's a glao like great police detective and Arto na came and suspect a fan hiding in the corof, the bedroom and a bathtub. The suspects are these minutes, 33 is 38, willithirty five, and W was 34. So what was, even so, Williams was A, A piece of payroll. Ls found rule and showed that the visithas killed herself, which will copy the cribecause. She was, he was in the lbefore, her mother. It was a long way, about ten minutes or, but was he not the, I was Williams writing and the tunnel was discovered under the floor. The journey was about two minutes in the bedroom. And doctors can hide up with bed. Oh, very nice. I should add, dot, dot, dot here. Yes, maybe. But I forgot, that's okay. I like that we've used our paragraph. We've got French and verbials. We've got really like sort of intricate details going on, rhetorical questions. Really nice. Well done. I think what we could include here a little bit more, and Rika perhaps is maybe some more kind of descriptions of the setting or maybe a little bit more tension. Perhaps we could use more of the five senses. We've got a lot of what we can see, but perhaps we could describe a little bit more about you know the feelings, smell, sound, things like that, that I'd add another layer of description here. But Yeah, very dramatic. But that's a good thing. That's what you want for this kind of story. I can see a little spelling mistake here. Journey should have an e journey like that. But other than that, the grammar looks good. Clean a hat. Okay, nice. Well done in Rico. Let's see what we are doing today then. Okay, we are looking at flaff facts today. Let me know when you're ready. This one. So first task says, imagine you are here. Well, looks very nice, doesn't it? Well, this is kind of what I was just talking about, your homeworks. That's interesting. What kind of descriptions could you think of to use our sensors? Could you what can we see in this picture to start with? We can see a terrace, plants, lake, mountains and shapes. Good. What do you though? It's quite easy to see what we can see because, you know, we just go off what we can see. But imagine that you were there. What kind of things do you think you would be able to hear as well? The tpping of eagles and the heassing of serpents very nice anything else? The buzzing of bees and the. A squawking of crows. I like that. What's about anything to do with the water? And in the way rate, there's a deaening splash. Mm, very nice. Maybe they could be like a bit of a, you know, calming waves or something like that. Maybe, you know, there could be some little insects and bees buzzing around in these plants. There could be a gentle, well, maybe we'll get to that one. Actually. What about explosion of of of Asian horn? That's when they're catch by. Mantheses, my goodness. What about smells? Like the smell has bititterness and stinkiness or soil and and the and the pure weirdness flowers Yeah and a very sweet fragrance smell from the flowers maybe. What about what we can feel? It says the physical feeling. So that could be like from the weather or what you're walking on or whatever, but also emotional. So you might how you feel emotionally from being in this kind of place. Music, emotionally, I feel calm. Physii feel comfortable, very nice, calm and comfortable. Good. Maybe you could also say, like, you know, you could feel a cool breeze on your skin. Maybe you could feel the hard wooden floor of the terrace, or, you know, you might touch a plant and feel the soft petals in your fingers. You know, there's lots of description we could add to feelings as well. So we're focusing on using flashbtoday. So it says a really good way to show matin your writing is to include a brief flashback. It shows awareness of different ways to write narrative and ability to manipulate tenses accurately, and adds interest and texture to your writing as well. So to be able to use flulatterbacks effectively in a short story, it's really important that we think there's some key things. We can't just randomly go back in time. We want to make sure it's relevant. And can you read what's on the docs for me? Glass practice when story jump back in time usually. Who explained something that is happening now to give detail about a moment a character has, it should only be used it to or further the deppof your story, or give necessary background information by your character. So we need to think about how will we signal the reader that we're are jumping back in time, what is the purpose of the flashback? What background information does it give? And how will you indicate that the flashback has finished? So here we have an example. Could you read the example for me and mico? As do they also like him belell, he couldn't stop talking. Think about what do next. Preparto film is and will talk the best friend was she so back the hor不. Talk the beauntil. She had noticed that when, for example, wasn't. Brjudy she was also back Julia quickly downstairs, but shrieked she lunched herself some old tobear, her tall danstairs. Okay. So this is the signal here from what you've just read. So the flashtrack is starting, she thought back to that horrible night. And here we can see that now we're starting to use the past perfect tense. So we're showing that the action is further back in the past than the main story. So the main stories in the past, but this is even further from that. So we're using had it had been you know nothing could be seen or heard and she had noticed she wish she had gone further. This is all past perfect tense. We've even got a little clue here as well. That's adding to the you know the main story plot. You know if you wish she had gone further into the woods, that's kind of giving us a clue here. We also have the signal that the flashback has ended. She was jolted back to reality. It's really important that the reader knows that the flashback is finished. So it says you can also use an ellipsis dot at the end of a flashback to show that a character's memory or thought was interrupted by something happening in the presence. Good way to do it. So. You've got a little task here. It says, can you continue these sentences which could be used to start a flashback so you can continue it in whatever way you want. In Rico, it's just having a go at starting a flashback. So you know, in the example we read, it was she thought back to that horrible night. And then we've got a bit of a description about what happened. So if you were to continue these starters, how would you continue them on write them on the board for me? What's happening? Okay. Yes, yes, my physics. Okay, we can make it like this. So Enrico, if you make it a bit smaller. 哥哥，你看。Then when you get to the end, if you click enter or the return button, it will do that. 哦，哦。We've got a glimpse line with a strange room and the great horror maybe within it, within it. Oh, Oh, thank you for reminding me. That's okay. Not sure about that. Oh, I thought you were deleting it all. He wondered about what nonsense of horrors and roounds his sister his sister. Had talked about at break. It's gone all wrong. Oh, what's going on here? Jme to slide it up a little bit for you. For happiness. Okay, let's see. So we've got, she thought harder. She thought harder about the loss of the other girls in class, a strange cocoon and everything else. Hmm, interesting. Suddenly she caught a glimpse in her mind, the strange room and the great horror within it. Good. He wondered about what nonsense of horrors and rooms his sister had talked about at break. Good. Paul couldn't stop thinking about how much giggling, giggling he had made. You just swap those two over how much giggling he had made or he had done perhaps or something like that. But really good you know to say that we've just got you know about a sentence after each of these. It's already creating you know an effect and they're not even within a story. So Yeah, some really good ideas are in Rika like those. So here are the seven steps for writing a flashback. Can you read all seven steps for me? Well, no, why your story needs a flashtake a flasome ficand the inside switches of style and skills that will be different from your characactus flashback. But we consistno without was tensix is, I have could wait your flashback ine, so check that your flashbfocuses on the single traers, even that what your story arc. Okay, well, we won't be going on for homework. Still got 20 minutes left. Perhaps I'll give you this for homework and we'll move on to the next lesson. So now there's a little bit of some something we can do in the next lesson instead. Under under reading. Under reading this lesson. 啊。Okay, we'll have we'll have a go at these synonyms. See where we get to. So can you remember what a synonym is? A synonthem is a word that has adminiged meaning similar to another. Good, same or similar, perfect, so it says, find line three synonyms for each of the following words and write them in the boxes. How can we write the third one? Because I don't know. So we've got quick dashy. Okay, what else could we do? What I like to think of is things that are quick and that might help you. So like how would you describe you know if you saw if you saw. Somebody make some food you know like this. How might you describe it? You know, wasn't very fast. They made it in an. Oh, hurry. Yeah, in a hurry at work, I was thinking of instant, but hurry works just as well. Hmm, very good, tiny minute to little. Good. Hmm, I do not know. Hungry, starving. That is quite a tricky one, isn't it? Yeah. So there's another word starting with p, another word starting with f. I'm not sure if you'll have heard these words before, because they're quite formal words. We don't even often use them in English, to be honest. So that's peckish. Feeling a bit peckish means that a bit hungry and famish is like absolutely starving. You know you're very hungry. So next one here, match the words up to their synonyms. First one's done for you. So we've got hideous, ugly, repulsive. So satright. Perfect. Well done. Okay. So this time you've got some sentences that you need to complete using different synonyms for good. So for example, for good, they've used great. I think that chocolate tastes great. So what other synonyms for good could we have? Hey, my dad is an excellent cook. I am perfect at Polet. Can we think of a different one than excellent? My best friend is a friendly person. Good, because we've got used excellent twice there. Oh. In is interesting. Okay, good. I would argue they're interesting and good perhaps are not synonyms. You know we couldn't really use them interchangeably, could we? Interesting is a positive word, but does it mean the same or similar as good? Not perhaps. I'll let you have it. But just try and be careful with things like that because if it was a test, they might not give you that one. Okay. Shall we do this? I'm just going to find some of the little things on synonyms to do because I don't want us to start a whole lesson, and we've only got a few minutes left. Just have a go at this for me to finish today. And Rico says, look at the underlined word on each line, cross it out and choose a suitable synonym for the box below. Write it in the empty box. Very good sifar. Excuse me, I just don't know what I just you mean me? Yeah. Okay. So the old man was mean is like, you know, it's not very nice, you know, maybe he says things that aren't very kind. Maybe he hurts people. Maybe he's rude. You know, if someone is mean, it's like they are not a nice person. They are you know, actively bad. Yeah, the old man was rude. Would be perfect yet. The oa was. Only got three minutes left and recoo, let's see if we can just finish these for me the oga was ugly. I can't remember what that's than them for at okay, so ugly. Remember you looked at these on the PowerPoint. Can you see them here? Oh, hideous, hideous. Yeah. A synonym for that. A synonym what is a synonym? I can think of what, starting with U or m. I'm starting with. What about this? Oh, unhappy unhappy. That would be a syname Yeah or you could say like miserable moody gm, there's lots of them. Thank you. Okay, very good. Well done. Okay. So for your homework, you've got that little writing test to do on. Okay reco, right. That was our last lesson because it's for a couple of weeks because it's Christmas next week, so we're having a couple of weeks holiday. So I will see you after Christmas and the New Year. Yeah. So I hope you have a nice holiday, Enrico and a Happy New Year and everything and I'll see you soon. Thank you very much. Bye bye.
