Story writing project – travel vocabulary – part 2

Here is the next part of our story writing project based on your suggestions.

London to Paris

Story so far ….

~ My Trip to  Paris ~

Last month I wanted to go away for a long weekend. I decided to go to Paris because I could take the train from London and I’ve never travelled on the Eurostar. I booked the tickets and the hotel online and got a great discount so I was really pleased.

I had to arrive at the station half an hour before the train was going to leave because I had to check in and go through passport control. It’s really difficult to park in London so I decided to go by taxi. That’s where things started to go wrong!


Part 2

I took a long time to pack and forgot to book a taxi to the station. Instead, I left my flat and flagged down a black cab.

Unfortunately the streets were very crowded because there was an annual carnival that day! I was very tense as the taxi drove slowly along narrow back streets. Thankfully, I arrived at the station thirty minutes before the train was due to depart.

With thanks to Shehnaz and Tamara for their ideas and contributions.

Story writing project – travel vocabulary

Today we are starting a new series focusing on important vocabulary for travel.

We are going to give the first two paragraphs of a story about a trip to Paris.

How the story continues depends on you!

We would like you to send us ideas to develop the story.

If you send us an idea, a problem, a situation connected to travel, we will write the next part. Go to Contact Us or use the comment box at the bottom of this page.

But, if you send us a complete paragraph, we will add it to the story and send you individual feedback on your writing.
