TELLING A STORY

Here you can read the stories you wrote yesterday in groups. In red you have relevant structures that you should know and learn!!!
Which story is your favourite? You can leave your comments ;o)))

Last night I dreamt about some people who were in a meeting. They were listening to the news on TV and they were talking about the news but they didn’t agree about the news because one of them was arguing with the other people. But the others didn’t listen to him and after that they waited a little and agreed. [Andrés, Elsa, Ana R.]

Yesterday I went to bed really early. I dreamt that I was arguing with my boss because I waited all day in his office and when he arrived I couldn’t talk to him because he was really busy and he didn’t want to listen to me; then, we didn’t agree about my job, so I woke up. [Marta, David, Sandra]

Last night I had a dream, a beautiful love story. Two people were listening to a love song and they fell in love. Later, they started to talk. The girl was speaking about her family. Her mother wished they got married but they didn’t agree about the church or the celebration place. The girl and her mother were arguing when the boy arrived. [Pau, Quico, Toni, Macu]

Two days ago I was waiting for the bus when I listened to an interesting conversation. The people were speaking about a killer but I didn’t understand any word because they were talking very quietly. But they were very nervous because they were arguing, they didn’t agree. I heard that one of them was talking about a bad dream he had last night and the other one disagreed with some actions that happened in that dream. [Susana, Lucía, Gabriel, Miguel Ángel]

Yesterday I argued with my parents because I wanted to go on a trip. They didn’t agree because they didn’t have money to lend me. I told them that the trip was very cheap and that I’ll be able to pay them back. But they didn’t want to listen to me and I didn’t know what to tell them. I’ll have to wait for next summer to go !!! So, I can only dream about it. [Dani, Rafa, Xavi]

Last night I dreamt about my next ski trip. Yesterday, I was listening to the weather forecast for the next weekend on the radio. It said that it would be very windy and so I talked to my friends.  I met them and we started to argue about if we’ll go to ski or not. Everybody agreed that the weather was going to be bad so we decided not to go there and to wait for the following weekend. [Aroa Botella, Javier, Maria Teresa]

When I was young, I had a dream. I was listening to music in a disco. In this moment, I met a new friend and we talked with him about life. My friend told me his life was a disaster because he was unemployed and he was thinking about going to live to another country, and I asked him: Do you speak English? He said: Yes, I do.

Suddenly, we started to argue and he hit me on my face.

-          Wait, please. It was a joke. I only went to meet you because I was very sad here.

-          Oh, sorry! I agree with you!!

 [Sara, Camilo, Alejandro, Félix]
