What a story!

Do you think phrasal verbs are difficult? Check out this story created by Marina and Cristian for their weekly speaking assessment! They used a lot of phrasal verbs in their story! Awesome work guys!

We will talk about a boy who was abandoned in front of a door by his homeless parents.

In 1989 a poor homeless couple found out that they would have a baby. They couldn’t take care of the baby so they decided to give up having a baby in their life.

David was a baby around 3 weeks of age when he was dropped off on the floor at someone’s doorstep.

His parents put a note in the basket with David in it that said ‘I’m David; my parents couldn’t take care of me so they would be very grateful if you can do it’

Nick, a single man who was the owner of the house, heard a baby crying outside of his place so he went there to check it out. He was very surprised to see an abandoned baby in the basket. He picked the baby up and got into the house.

He was looking for David’s parents but unfortunately he didn’t find them so he started to look after the baby while he was working at home.

Fifteen years later, one day someone turned up at his house and…  it was David’s parents.

They wanted to see David but he wasn’t there so Nick talked with them.

Then when David’s parents were leaving the house, they bumped into David but he didn’t know they were his parents so Nick told him everything about it and since then they kept in touch.

Two years later they set up a big company together becoming the major player in the boat industry in America.

David still lives with Nick and they are a happy family. He is also studying to be a lawyer. His parents took over the company and they often go over to see David and Nick to just hang out.

One thought on “What a story!

  1. So difficult for me…… I can’t use phrasal verbs. But I think when I use phrasal verbs it looks good…. I need them. but they are so many…… I want to try to learn more.
