Writing 08 - Write a Story
How do we go about writing a good story? All of us, during our childhood, must have listened to our mothers and grandmothers telling us stories. We have also learnt about stories in our Upper Primary English classes. Stories are as old as humanity and in the early years stories were told orally and passed on down the generations, which is still followed by our mothers and grandmothers today.
Stories are basically instruments through which we can inform people about certain things such as morals and good habits. Through telling stories we can persuade people to follow a certain path. With our writing we can also entertain people. Again, through stories we can educate people just as our teachers do in school.
