A Lucky Escape


I had a lucky escape yesterday. I was at school in the class and the teacher nearly catched me. We had a English test and i’m not good in English the test was very difficult for me, too bad. Lots of questions for gramma and writting and spelling. What can I do? I need good grade. I see a boy near me and he is writting lotta answers. Good! I think OK I can just see maybe what is he writting and do same. Good idea! So this I did but teacher sudenly looked and nearly catched me but I had lucky escape becos she didn’t see me looking at boy near me, just I writting. Lucky escape!

Content: 5 The story is clearly related to the title. The target reader would be able to follow the story, which has a clear beginning, middle and end, easily.

Communicative Achievement: 4 The format is appropriate for the task. The target reader can follow the story with reasonable ease although some effort is required due to the shift in tenses.

Organisation: 3 The story is coherent and connected with basic linking words: and; So; sudenly; but, and a limited number of cohesive devices. There are some punctuation errors but they do not affect comprehension.

Language: 3 Everyday vocabulary is used appropriately. There are some errors with spelling:
  • gramma - grammer
  • writting - writing
  • sudenly - suddenly
  • becos - because
but these do not impede the meaning. Simple grammatical forms are used with reasonable control. There are some errors with using and forming the simple past tense:
  • catched - caught
  • What can I do? - What could I do?
  • I see a boy - I saw a boy
although there is evidence of success with this grammar point. A number of minor errors are present but they do not impede communication.
