Hi there,
here you are the post for you to write your narrative following the example on page 70 and the instructions at the bottom of page 71 in green.
Remember that the topic we are dealing with is RELATIONSHIPS and that it must be the main issue to write about.
Also, do not forget the Time Expressions and Connectors of Sequence which you MUST use in order to make the order of events clearer for anyone reading it.
Since you will write about one or more relationships and the way they have changed through the years, you will have to use different verb tenses in the past as well as some others in the present and maybe some to predict what that relationship will be like in the future.
I am sure you will do a good job. I look forward to reading them all.
Bye for now!

When Jessie and I argued, I felt very sad because we had been friends for five years and we damaged our relationship.
ReplyDeleteAt first, we started talking a lot and we got along really well. We used to spend time together. And our feelings grew up.
After a while, Jessie and I got to know each other better and we had got a lot in common.
One day, three months ago, we were in class and we had an argument. We got angry and insulted each other.
Sadly, we didn't talk anymore altough, we had to see one another at school everyday.
Eventually, after approximately one and half months ago without talking, I realised that I had fallen in love with her. I tried to talk to her and little by little we are solving our differences. I hope that in a close future, she will be my girlfriend.

Peter and I had been close friends since kindergarden. We got along really well, but one day last year everything changed.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning, we had the same group of friends since childhood, and we used to go everywhere together. But when we grew up, some of us grew apart. Only Peter and I became best friends.
During second quarter, a new girl came to our high school and we started getting to know her. I realised that I was falling in love with her but I didn’t tell my friend. Peter was feeling the same but he kept it a secret too. When we found out about our feelings, we got angry at other and stopped talking. We damaged our relationship.
Eventually, the girl moved to another city and we lost over friendship and our love. After a while, step by step we started being friends again and we promised that no girl would be more important than friends.

Today is the big day. You finally got it. I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteIrene and I have known each other since we were little. I remember that our mothers went shopping together and always bought us the same dresses to be dressed as if we were twins. We have always been inseparable: at school, high school, university ...
Do you remember when we went to that job interview? First they interviewed me and shortly after you, and the next day we were both hired because everyone thought they were calling the same person… Thankfully, in terms of tastes about boys, we don´t agree ... My biggest nightmare was that we fell in love with the same person!
As for you Pedro, I have to be honest. The first time I spoke with you, I thought someone had hit you on the head when you were little. While you were talking, you didn´t stop stuttering and looking everywhere … Luckily I realized that those symptoms were produced by that great person that you have by your side today. At that moment, I knew that my next challenge was to get you to have a date and... look; seven years later, here we are.
Who would say that I would present the wedding of my best sister ... I still can´t believe it ...
I think you owe me ... How do you say your daughter is going to be called ...?
Coraline and I were close friends but although we talked almost every day, we ended up growing apart. I was very sad when I realized what was happening because I did not want him not to be my best friend.
ReplyDeleteDespite this, it was and I had to get used to it. My friends told me that if I really wanted to change that, I must had to do something. They gave me encouragement and advice but I also found the situation difficult because we talked without talking, I mean, we talked only about nonsense things and we had never talked about anything serious. I should start the conversation as long as we do not end our friendship badly. I did not want to end our friendship even though we were not like before and without knowing why I was going to her as if I was going to break up with her and as if I probably should not, but it was necessary.
At the end we talked, I told her my worries and she told me that she had felt bad during our strange separation. Then we came to an agreement. If she needs a friend, I will be there and if I need a friend, she will be there. We end up taking for granted each other. This is the only way in which we can get along. I guess our friendship will not work towards the future.

When I had to move away from this village,I felt very sad,because I though:"I will break up all my relationships with my friends and in special with my close friend Emily."So I never wanted that.
ReplyDeleteAt first,I talk about everything with my friends all time. As soon as something important happens,I told them.
In the beggining it was so difficult to make new friends but,with the time,I got to know new people.
After I started to get along with other people I noticed that I didn't talk with my old friends with the same frequence as before. I felt uncomfortable because of that fact.
During my visit to the old village where I born,I got out with my old friends. Buf all changed. I had other life,other friends or hobbies,we didn't talk so much. The reason is that we grew apart,so I don't blame them,is normal that we move on and get over from this separation of us
When my sister Julieta went to study abroad, I felt very sad. Besides sisters, we are best friends and she is also my confirmation godmother. Nobody understands me better than July.
ReplyDeleteAt first, we kept in touch very often. Once a week, we always rang ourselves and she told me about her day. While we were talking, she told me that if I improved my English, I would have more opportunities in the future.
As soon as holidays came, my sister returned at home. She was more exciting because she had lived many adventures and the most important she had learnt many things. After talking for hours, I realised I wanted to study abroad too.
During Julieta's visit, I noticed that I had missed her a lot. She had met a lot of people and she was very happy. If she had gone abroad, I wouldn't have realised how important she is in my life.

I was shocked! I couldn't move nor speak… If I hadn't been so ingenuous I wouldn't have lived through that situation. I didn't know how to react due to the fact that it seemed like a slap in the whole face.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it would be better if I started from the beginning. Jack and I have gone out for five years until this tragedy occurred. I fell in love since the first time I saw him. Then, we started to meet and get to know each other. I thought that we could raise a family and be happy together… But I was wrong.
While we were watching a romantic film I was preparing myself to pop the question. I had even a beautiful engagement ring! However, as soon as I let it out, he looked at me with an unpleasant expression and answered that he was sorry but he couldn't do that. Lucky for me, I had been sat in the sofa all the time, otherwise I would have fainted to the floor.
After a while, he explained everything to me. Naturally, there was another man. Should I have imagined it? Actually, it was like if he had driven a stake into my heart. Anyway, I refuse the idea of feeling blame. In the end, I opted to pick up my things and say him goodbye. Unfortunately, Jack have hurted me. Nevertheless, although I’m damaged, I’ll move on and continue growing with or without his company.

We were always close friends. In the beginning, we were inseparable, but finally we stop getting along as well as before.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Diana and I grew up together, we used to go to school, to the swimming pool and also we went on holidays together. It was rarely the day that we didn’t meet up.
Then, she always gave me excuses when I asked her to meet, so we barely saw each other. But, the fact that she grew apart, let me realised that maybe I needed to open my eyes and get it over.
Now, I have new friends with whom I have fun and we also have got a lot in common. As soon as they show me that I really can trust them, we probably will be close friends.

When I was a child, I used to visit my grandparents. They lived in a lovely house very near a big beach. In spite of the fact that my grandparents looked after and they played a lot with me, I still felt lonely because I didn´t have any real friend to play with.
ReplyDeleteEventually, one summer the neighbour´s house got full of children who arrived to enjoy the holidays. Fourtunately, I met Jose and we become very close friends. Oh how I wished for the summer to hung around.
Unfortunately, my grandparents moved away and we grew apart. It was a good surprise when I saw again last year. I rewined thouh with my family to see grandparent´s old house and there he was.
This coming summer he will come by and I suppose that we will remember our childhood and good memories from those summers.

When I was seven years , I met Shoun-yi who was my neighbour. We was close friends
ReplyDeleteOne day, my mother said me that we must moved on because the company made she a promotion. We grew apart but our mothers were still in contact.
One day while I was doing homework, my mother called me and told me that I had a surprise.
As soon as my mother told me the news i stood up very happy.
In the beginning of the summer we will go to China to visit him.
When the day arrived i was excited. At first I thought that I was not going to recognize him but as soon as i saw him I recognized him .I spent a week with him and we did a lot of things.The first activity that we did was visit our old neighborhood ,next we visited the center of the city among other things.
finally we went with our parents to dinner, next day we had to go, so we said goodbye.
The time I was there I had a great time. They told me that next summer they would come.

When time passes sometimes it brings good things and sometimes not so good ones.
ReplyDeleteBetter, I'll start at the beginning.
I have a brother, his name is Anju, he was always a fun, affectionate, friendly and playful child.
When I was little, I remember that I used to get on his bike and he always pushed me. Let's say that we've always got along (with our fights) but despite them we love each other a lot. It can be said that we have always been like close friends.
The problem is that we are both older now. We do not spend half of the day together anymore, because he goes out with his friends and I go with mine. Sometimes I think our good relationship has been broken. He is 19 years old and I am no longer within his plans, as if he ignored me.
My mother takes for granted that this is a passing stage and that within a guy it will happen and we will not play together but we will have our beautiful relationship before.
And my opinion is that it will be difficult, but I will have hope in what my mother says after all she understands my brother very well.
Things of the age I suppose ...
Amlau!
When one relationship break up, it´s a dificult situation for one person. If you have a grilfriend or a boyfriend, you you must take care of your couple. If you have done it, you will have the clear conscience.
ReplyDeleteOf nowdays most of the time, the ralationships finished for infidelities and as well the childrens pass a badly moment and this can make destroy the morals of their children.
Many people was in depression because the break with your partner is very hard and and they take a long time to overcome it.
All in all, the break up whit your couple it´s very hard and if you had felt unnhappy, you would have phone to be whit your family.
When I was young I usually played with a child in my father´s town. In addition I spent a good childhood with him. Nevertheless, one day I heard terribles news and as soon as my father stopped talks I left quickly to my bedroom. The result was that his parents got divorced and he would have to go to Barcelona.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I felt unhappy because we were close friends, and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Besides, if I didn´t play with him, with who I would spend my time?
After a while,, I started to forget him since I began dating other friends. Somehow, I forgot him completely. While I have fun with my new friends, I didn't miss him.
Finally, 4 months ago, he came but it wasn´t the same. When I saw him it was very different because he grew up and forgot all the things that we had in common. Now, we don't get along. Furthermore, I think it will never be the same. Perhaps, if he hadn't grow apart, now we would still have the same relationship.

Tomorrow I’m going to meet an old friend, which was my best friend when I was young. I’m so nervous because I haven’t seen him since I went to the university.
ReplyDeleteJosh and I have been friends since I can remember. We used to meet almost every day. In summer we used to go to the swimming pool .In winter we met in his or my house.
If we had chosen the same university, we wouldn’t have grown apart, nevertheless we hadn’t and now he must have changed a lot and we have new friends. At first we kept in touch, but after a while we lost contact.
It’s the time to meet him. He is late and if he don’t arrive or call me in ten minutes I will go to my house and lose the opportunity of talk with him like old times. Wish me good luck!

When I was walking through Central Park ,I saw something that left me immobile .I didn't know how to react , I had just seen my best friend Agapito kissing the girl who I liked .At that moment my heart broke.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning Agapito and I have met since I was a child and also was the only one I told him that fall in love with that girl.
On the one hand , Agapito was always with me in the difficult moments and also helped me to conquer the girl ,I was very proud to have a friend like him .
But on the other hand , ´he betrayed me . I was so blind all this time...
After a while I reacted , I was determined to split Agapito's face but despite the damge he did to me , I wanted that he was happy .
In the end I decided to turn round and never see him again

Henry is probably one of my best friends, we've known each other since we had 6 years olds. But when we had 11 years old, he and his parents moved to Sevilla due to a new work.
ReplyDeleteWhen he leaved I felt really depressed and lonely, but some days later I recived a letter from him. That helped me to move on because at least we kept in touch. With the time we grew apart, both of us got our own friends to hang out.
Nowadays we keep talking everyday by discord (similar to skype) and telling each other our problems. Henry changed a lot, he's even dating a girl.
And if everything goes well, we will meet each other for first time in years this summer. This makes me think that our friendship is really strong because if it weren't I'm pretty sure that we would had stopped talking to each other a long time ago, and now we wouldn't remember the other.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in second year of bachelor I got along very well with Sergio, a classmate.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning, before we met, we could not stand. One day the teacher sent us to do a job and we had played together.
When we started to stay to do the work we realized that we had many things in common and that we had a great time together. We became close friends.
At first it was all great, we agreed on everythings and we did not argue or get angry.
After a while, with the passage of time we got to know each other more and the defects of each one came to light, we discussed more but we knew how to get along.
At the end when the course ended we went away little by little and today I do not know anythings about him and I feel sorry because he was a great friend. If I had not finished the course we would still be in touch. I hope to see you soon .

ReplyDeleteWhen I was 10 years old, I had a friend named Peter, in which I trusted a lot. We were Both in the same class, but he was smarter than me. I envied him a lot despite the fact that he helped me whenever I had a problem. In the beginning we didn't get along so well.
At first, when we met in elementary school, we didn't have a good relationship. After a while, we discovered that we had many things in common. We both loved sports, especially basketball. In fact, whenever we could we went to watch basketball games at our village sports center.
I thought that our friendship would be forever, but things changed when we got to high school. Peter had to move to another city, due to the fact that his mother had been fired from his work. We kept in touch for a while, but finally we stopped talking to each other.
It has been five years since we lost contact. Now I have new friends with whom I take very well and I guess he will also have his own friends. I don't know if I should get over him or try to contact him. Maybe it's too late and I can never get that friendship back.

If someone had told me that he had sent me a message, I wouldn't have believed him. I thought that I would never keep in touch with him again owing to our relationship didn't end well.
ReplyDeleteIt will be better if I tell the story from the beginning. 10 years ago I had a best friend called Mohamed. We were always together: we had friends in common, we went to the cinema every Friday, we watched Liverpool's matches on weekends… In spite of the fact that we argued quite, everything was perfect, even though one day happened something that left me petrified. I realized that Mohamed had moved abroad and hadn't told me anything.
Even so, I wanted to see him again, so I telephoned him, although he never replied my calls. I was devastated, though I thought that I will never be able to trust anybody, I managed to overcome the difficulties and I had good friends again. Now, 10 years later, Mohamed sent me a message telling me that he would meet me. He explained that he did not want to leave without saying anything, but I decided it didn't have importance due to we won't be friends no more.
On balance, If I had forgiven him he would have returned to hurt me sooner or later, whereby sometimes we must say no.

ReplyDeleteWhen I came back from Venice, part of me stayed in Venice because I met a girl and we became good friends.
ReplyDeleteThe first day I was bored at the hotel because there was nothing that was interesting for me and just a week later when I saw Carlotta who was staying in the same hotel as me and we saw each other in the hotel lobby, although she was older than me, We got along well . On the one hand, thanks to her, the holidays were more fun and I never got tired of it, we went everywhere: we watched some movies at the cinema and visited monuments. On the other hand, the worst was when I had to return to Spain because I loved her as a friend. If I could have stayed in Venice I would have done it.
Although we were very far away, we always kept in touch. Finally our friendship was not destroyed by the
distance because we can communicate on the internet for everyone.

When I was a child, I used to live in my own world surrounded by my friends, family and a lot of love. For me, life was something as simple like dancing a song or giving a kiss to whoever you want. And the truth is that life is simple, but we complicate it when we grow up.
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me five years ago with a friend. He was one of those people who leave a mark and admiration in you.
We counted on everything and supported each other until the day he moved. That day changed everything.
He started meeting new people, and I was very happy for him !! But as the days passed he spoke to me less frequently.
This started to worry me and I repeated it many times. I was afraid of losing him.
Finally, one day we ended up arguing for some nonsense and we distanced ourselves completely. Since then I wonder, if he had not moved, would we still be friends?
Today, I miss him, but I've learned a lot from this and I've become stronger. At present, I have many new friends and I feel lucky. Now, I know that things come and go like a boomerang, that's why you have to enjoy things them to make the most of it. Live the moment!

In my childhood I had a very close friend whose she has the same age as me, also her mother and mine are friends because they have been working together.
ReplyDeleteAt first, we had a good relationship because both have the same feelings and a lot in common. During the time that we were meeting, playing or doing something together we became such as bestfriends. As soon as we were getting older, since some years ago, they moved to another city because of job of her mother so we grow apart and we couldn´t see any more times. One day she came back in holidays so we met one day but it wasn´t the same as always.
If she hadn´t moved to another city we could be friends nowdays.

when I was fifteen my parents decided to divorced, they had already decided it a long time ago but they didn't tell me for fear of damage me. This decision affects me a little since we have to move because my mother got a job far from where we lived.
ReplyDeleteAfter a few months I had already overcome the change, at the beginning it cost me because I had to leave my closest friends, I also had to break up with my boyfriend but that was the least affected me. My mother fell in love and got engaged with another man, in fact, they make a good couple. Unless he harms my mother, I will don't anything to interfere.
Even though years passed, I was still in contact with my old friends. We always do FaceTime and tell them things like how much it cost me to make new friends, for example, since I felt excluded but that was only the first few days, then I started getting along with everyone and discovered that I had many things in common with my mew friends.
My father, however, took more time to overcome the break with my mother. My advice was always that I had to move on.

ReplyDeleteSince the age of seven, my friend Nuria and I have always been inseparable. We met one afternoon and we realized that we shared a lot of things and that we were made for each other. As soon as we started to meet, we got a lot of confidence with each other.
ReplyDeleteWe were always together, we slept together frequently, when we were traveling we always went two and never had the need to stay with other people. It was one of the best stages of my life.
After a while, we met new friends in high school and we gradually distanced each other, each took her life despite the fact that sometimes we met, but eventually we lost contact.
The truth is that the other day we saw each other and ended up having dinner together, I thought that nothing would be like before and that we did not have much to talk about, but it happened on the contrary, our conversation flowed without problem and we still had the great complicity of before.
When I moved to England everything changed. I had a friend named Maria and we told each other, we spent hours talking, we stayed every day ... everything together.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I thought we were going to talk and keep telling us everything and we were looking forward to the holidays to see each other again, but it was not like that.
Later she started making new friends and forgetting to write me and we started to distance ourselves.
When I got to where she was weird and we were embarrassed, it seemed we would never have been friends.
I felt that we had grown apart and in the end each one took her way in the place where she lived, maybe one day we will live in the same city and the relationship will come back, but now everything has changed.

ReplyDeleteMy relationship with my older sister has changed over the years.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was born she was very excited and during my childhood she took care of me.Later,when I was six years she went to study at the university of Santiago.While she was living in Santiago I missed her very much.
As soon as she finished the university she moved to Italy.In that moment I was twelve years old and we only talked few times.She came back home only on holidays and,even if I went to Italy to visit her,during four years we can not spent a lot of time together and I didn´t told her my problems.
Eventually two months ago she came back to Spain.Now I can be with her more time and our relationship is better than ever before.

Otto and me had always been very close friends, our parents had a very good relationship and we always did everything together. But one day, his mother told us that they were moving to another city for work reasons.
ReplyDeleteAt first, we still had a good relationship, we talked on the phone every day and we told each other things, however with the passage of time we stopped keeping in touch.
One day, after months without speaking Otto told me he was coming to spend a few days here, I was very excited to know and I really wanted to see him. Nevertheless when the moment arrived it was not as I expected, we did not have to talk, we were like two strangers.
Now that Otto has left again I have realized that we have grown apart and things will never be the same again. You always have to keep going because some people will leave and new ones will appear.
