A Letter in the Library
Anna loved books, so every Saturday, she visited the small library in town. She always sat in the same corner, reading for hours. One day, she found a note inside a book.
"You love this book too? We could talk someday. –L."
Anna’s heart beat fast because she didn’t know who L was. She looked around, but the library was quiet.
The next week, she returned. However, she didn’t see anyone watching her. In the same book, another note waited: "I see you every Saturday. You look beautiful when you read."
She smiled and wrote a reply: "Meet me at the big window at 4 PM."
At 4 PM, a boy with kind eyes and a shy smile stood there. “Liam,” he said.
In the end, Anna smiled back. Maybe this was the start of something special.
STRUCTURE
1. Introduction (Beginning) – Setting and Situation
The story introduces Anna, the main character.
It tells us about her habit of visiting the library every Saturday.
The first event happens: she finds a mysterious note inside a book.
The connector "so" is used to explain why she visits the library regularly.
2. Main Part (Middle) – Problem and Action
Anna feels curious because she doesn’t know who wrote the note. (Connector: "because")
She returns the next week but doesn’t see anyone. (Connector: "however", showing contrast.)
Another note appears, making the mystery stronger.
She decides to leave a reply, taking action.
3. Conclusion (Ending) – Solution and Emotion
At 4 PM, Anna finally meets the mystery person—Liam.
They smile at each other, showing a possible romantic beginning.
The story ends with hope and excitement.
The connector "in the end" is used to sum up the final moment.
Why This Structure Works for A2-Level Stories:
✅ Short and simple sentences
✅ Clear sequence of events (beginning, middle, end)
✅ Basic but effective vocabulary
✅ Use of connectors to show relationships between ideas

👉 4. REGRETS AND CRITICISM STRUCTURES
VIDEO EXPLANATION
Por lo que a ti respecta, bien podría estar muerto.
You might as well just wear dental floss. También podrías usar hilo dental.
We might as well stop unless you've got something else you want to talk about. Será mejor que paremos, a menos que tengas algo más de lo que quieras hablar.
Last summer, I made a terrible mistake, and I still regret it.I wish I had accepted the job offer in Spain, but at the time, I was too afraid to leave my comfort zone. Now, I wish I were living in a new country, experiencing a different culture, and improving my Spanish. Instead, I’m stuck in the same routine, and I can’t stop thinking about what could have been. I also wish my boss would offer me another opportunity, but I know chances like that don’t come twice. If only I had been braver, my life would be completely different now.
This paragraph uses wish + past perfect for past regrets, wish + past simple for present dissatisfaction, and wish + would for a hypothetical future.
💭 Think about a situation in your life that you regret or something you wish were different. Write a short paragraph (100-120 words) using at least three different "wish" structures:
Wish + past perfect (to express regrets about the past)
Wish + past simple (to express dissatisfaction with the present)
Wish + would (to express a desire for change in the future)
✨ Example topics to inspire you:
A missed opportunity (a job, a trip, a relationship)
A decision you regret (studies, a purchase, an argument)
Something you wish you could change about your life now
A habit or behaviour you wish someone else would change
📌 Remember: Try to make your writing engaging and personal!
