Exercise 3 – Time-Travel Adventure Prompt

One morning, I found a glowing watch on my school bench. When I pressed a red button, everything around me froze. Cars stopped, birds stayed in the air, and people could not move. Suddenly, I traveled to the past and saw my school many years ago. I felt excited but also scared because I did not know how to return. I explored the place carefully and avoided changing anything. After thinking calmly, I pressed the blue button on the watch. Time began to move again, and I returned safely to the present. I hid the watch in my bag, knowing it was very special. 

Exercise 4 – Turn These Events into a Story

We worked quickly and solved the final clue together. At last, we found a small wooden box buried under a tree. Inside was an old map and a note praising our teamwork. We felt proud of our adventure.
