WRITING SIMPLE
INTRODUCTION AND
CONCLUSIONLet’s turn the paragraphs into a complete narrative
essay!
An introduction…
• describes the main character,
• describes the place (setting) or
• describes the event.
You don’t have to write about all of the above.
Choose one!
Describe the main character.
• Important: The description must be related to the story!
Example:
Nazri likes to travel. He likes animals
and nature very much.
• Put the introduction at the beginning of your story.
You may write a conclusion…
• by describing the characters’ feelings (after what has
happened),
• by describing how it ends or
• with a moral value.
Again, you don’t have to write about all of the above.
You may choose just one!
Describe the characters’ feelings.
• Important: The description must be related to the story!
Example:
In the evening, Nazri and his family went home. They were all very tired but happy.
• Put the conclusion at the end of your story.
THE FINAL PRODUCT……the narrative essay!
