    The missing dogs
    I was walking behind my house when I saw two man.
    At the beginning they were talking and they seemed worried. I tried to listen what they were talking about when, soon after, they began to walk. Consequently they were coming towards me and I was afraid. Right after they were in front of me but before I had tried to escape. I was surprised when they asked me if I could help them to find their dogs.
    Finally, after two hours, we found their two dogs at the park near my house and at the very end they gave me an hug.

    1. Your story is engaging. Content is relevant to the title and the picture, and it is mostly detailed.

      Good organisation of the text as most of the ideas are paragraphed correctly and sequenced.

      Acceptable achievement of the communicative aim since some parts are unclear. Errors sometimes impede understanding. The following phrases have some mistakes: "two man" "At the beginning they were talking and" "listen what" "Consequently" "Right after" " but before I had tried to escape" "an hug".

      All in all, quite good realization of the task.

      Those men were talikng to each other but they seemed worried. I tried to listen the topic of which they were talking when, soon after, they began to walk.

I was surprised when they asked me if I could help them to find their dogs.

    1. Content is relevant to the picture. The first part of your story is engaging while the second part is too vague. Some details are missing. For this reason, the sequencing and the connection of the events is unclear.

      Acceptable organisation of the text. Paragraphing is missing. Watch the following video tutorial on how to write a paragraph: https://youtu.be/2_pZWdF7ujA.

      Appropriate range of lexical and grammatical items. Errors occasionally impede understading. The following phrases have some mistakes: "was charged with solving it" "when it occurred to him" "so it was that".

    2. A crime scene
      Two months ago, there was a crime in the Bronx in new York, where Agent Andrews was commissioned to solve it.

He called his friend Smith and explained what was going on, bit he already knew everything because he had seen it with his eyes and in a few minutes Smith said everything he had seen, in this way Agent Andrews found the criminal and arrested him. It was like this that the two different friends were very similar.

    The car accident

    I was walking quietly to visit my sister when suddenly a roar is heard...

    I turned and saw that two cars had made an accident, the cars had overturned on the road and one of them had also caught fire!
    Everyone looked at the scene and I also saw my two neighbors from afar, they were without words, both tried to understand what had happened and they were looking the cars with a curious and a bit shocked look.

    Help arrived soon after and the victims were taken to the hospital, one driver died but all the other people were saved.
    Fortunately these are not things that happen every day!

    The two drug dealers

    One day while I was walking, I saw two men who were arguing loudly themselves.

    To try to hear what they were arguing about, I decided to hide behind a tree to hear better, only that at a certain point I fell and they discovered me. I started running as fast as I could to try and hide but luckily I turned the corner and there were policemen ready to protect me. They immediately stood around the corner and when the two men arrived, the two policemen took them and arrested them.

    After a few hours, the two policemen asked me thank you because it turned out that the two arrested were also two highly sought after drug dealers.

    THE MYSTERIOUS MAN

    A few months ago my friend Andrew and I were called to solve a case: we had to find a mysterious man who had stolen in many shops for days and every time he managed to escape without leave any traces.

    That afternoon we decided to protect the most important jewelry in the city: we were sure that it would be his next stop so we got to the right distance to see whoever came in.
    We were looking the shop when suddenly a man came with a gun who quickly entered in the jewelry. Immediately after we ran towards the entrance.
    When we entered he wasn't there and we were shocked because very little time had passed.

    At the end we were unable to discover the man's secret, but sooner or later we will take him.

      Good organisation of the text as most of the ideas are sequenced. Paragraphing should be improved.

      Sentences are too wordy. Errors sometimes impede understanding. The following phrases have some mistakes: "the big pieces of drug" "he is go undercover for" "at a bench" "in the common park" "cause" " shoot" "abdomen" "in hospital" "end".

    THE END OF A PARTY
    I was in my room when I heard several deafening noises.
    I didn't understand where they came from so I went downstairs and went out into the garden.
    Two unknown men watched in the distance my neighbor Adam's house, who is a few years older than me.
    I took courage and I went to them and asked who they were and what they did.
    The two men explained to me that they were two policemen.
    They were ready to enter Adam's house to end the party too loud and chaotic, since they had received too many complaints.
    Very relieved, I went home and told my parents what had happened.
    Shortly after the deafening noises disappeared.

  21. The Neighbor

    It was a quiet Friday afternoon and I was chilling in the living room, suddenly I hear someone knocking at my door.
    When I opened it I saw two strangers that showed me their badges asking me to enter, and I let them in. They started to ask me questions about a thief robbing in my neighborhood.
    They showed me photos of the stolen items and I actually recognized one of them, I was really confused.
    I took a vase very similiar to the stolen one and explained them it was a gift from Mark, my neighbor.
    They broke into his house and arrested him.
    The bad luck of Friday 17th maybe exists.

    16 year old girl disappeared.
    The case goes to the best detectives who have experience in these situations. The year found after 2 years in a room in the cellar so as not to make her hear from the neighbors when he rapes her. When they find the madman's hiding place to arrest him, the man runs away but is hit by a bullet in the back and dies instantly. The girl is taken to the hospital and after 2 months is left to go home by her parents.

    SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

    I was walking along the street when I saw a sad episode. A white man, about 45 years old, was discussing with a black man, younger than him, probably of Afro-American origins, when a police car stopped to ask the white man if the other person was bothering him.
    The two turned around: the older man had an angry look, his friend's eyes were disappointed. It was a business discussion, they explained to the police, they were a journalist and his assistant, who then decided to write an article in the newspaper to report this episode of racism in which, attending a discussion, the police gave for granted that "the bad guy" was the black person.

    A ROBBERY IN NEW YORK
    In a sunny afternoon of May in Brooklyn, the detective Johns was investigating about a robbery in a bank. He stopped a gentleman who was jogging in Central Park and asked him if he had seen a person running with some bags or backpacks. He replied that he had seen someone running with a black bag in his hand going towards a narrow street with an old abandoned library. The detective then gathered his team and went to the library. There, they found four hooded men, that as soon as they saw the police, got into a car and ran away. There was a car chase all over New York, but eventually the police managed to arrest them. The jogging man was rewarded with some money for helping the police find the thieves.

    A bad accident.
    One hot afternoon, as soon as I left my best friend's house, walking towards my house, I saw in the distance a dog running towards me. This dog was crying and was injured on one leg.
      I noticed better of black smoke coming from the direction the dog had come from.
      I went where there was that smoke and saw a man under a crushed car and his friend crying with the phone in his hand; he could not understand what was happening and therefore he could not call for help.
      I called 118 immediately, while I reassured the two friends to stay calm.
      When the ambulance arrived, I helped the boys by taking care of their dog in their absence.
      Two days later, they thanked me and hugged me.
      I was happy to have helped them.
