5.   James looked back at the jungle clearing. He was tired, but, as always,
      optimistic. “O.K., so it wasn’t in this valley,” he thought, “ but I know it

      camp, anxious to start his search again.

                               Points to remember
        Never start your composition before deciding on the plot.
        Use time words (before, until, then, next, etc.) to make the sequence of
events clear.
        Use Direct and Reported Speech to make your story lively.
        Use various adjectives (horrified, surprised, etc.) and adverbs
(absolutely, extremely, etc.) to stress feelings and actions. This will make your
story more interesting.
        In story writing you can use flashback narration. This means that you can
start your story at a specified time, then go back in time and set the previous
scene using the Past Perfect. Continue your story using normal past tenses,
leading your readers up to the specified time, then go on to the end of your story.
Using the flashback technique makes your story more exciting.
