Writing

Imagine a character named Alex who is reflecting on his day. 

Write a short story or a diary entry describing Alex's day using:

1. Past Simple: Use this tense to describe actions that happened earlier in the day.

2. Present Simple: Use this tense to describe Alex’s routines, habits, or facts.

3. Present Continuous: Use this tense to describe what Alex is doing right now or ongoing actions.

Write at least 10 sentences describing Alex's day. Make sure to mix the three tenses as described. Be creative and think about what Alex might do in a typical day, what unusual events happened today, and what Alex is currently doing as they reflect on the day.

Tips:

Describe any interesting events that happened during the day.

Conclude with what Alex is doing now.
