to the questions are entirely up to you. There is no right or wrong only ideas. Once
an idea appeals to you, follow it through. You will be pleasantly surprised at how
quickly a story will emerge from the answers you give.

Story without a middle

There are three main parts to a story:

The BEGINNING says where and when a story happens and who the people or
characters are.
The MIDDLE tells what happens to these people.
The CONCLUSION tells how the story ends.

PART FOUR (JOSE ANCIZAR COLLAZOS)

Advertisements
Advertisements are written to try and make us buy something. The words in an
advertisement give us a very clear idea of the product, and really make us want to
have it. Look at this example of an advertisement for ice cream:

"Cool, delicious Strawberry Surprise.


What could be nicer on a hot summer's day?"

Nicknames for New York


Use the words in the box to complete the text below. Write the missing words in the
space.

describe
biggest
newspaper recorded

choose
city

name
cities
community visitors

nicknames
popular

Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American


cities have nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help
people feel a sense of pride in their community.
Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the
best nickname for an American city. The winner was the nations biggest city,
New York. The nickname they chose was The Big Apple.
Where did the nickname Big Apple originally come from? In the nineteen
seventies, New York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors
was falling. A campaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new
nickname. The New York board chose the nickname The Big Apple.
It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A
journalist for a New York newspaper had used the name The Big Apple to
describe New York in the nineteen twenties.
The Big Apple was also the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New
York City in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and
hit song around that time.
The Big Apple is not the only nickname for Americas biggest city. Almost
one hundred nicknames that describe New York have been recorded. Some of
the best known nicknames for New York are The Capital of the World,
Empire City, Gotham, The City So Nice They Named it Twice and The
City That Never Sleeps.
