Nepal Part 2 POV Lesson

Hi everyone. Welcome to the point of view stories for “Nepal Part 2”. I hope that you’re ready to get started.

Today we’re going to hear the same story from the mini-story lesson but we’re going to tell it in four different ways. Here we go.

Larry the lion was excited. For ten years he had been trying to get a job as a movie actor. But he had never been able to get a job in a movie.

Then yesterday he got a phone call from Julia Roberts. She wanted to talk to him about acting in her new movie. So she set up a face to face meeting with him. The meeting was scheduled for next Thursday at 10 o’clock a.m. on the dot.

The day before the meeting, Larry went to the beach to swim. Even though it was a cold day, he decided to go in the water. When he got out of the water he began to shake because it was so cold.

The next morning he woke up feeling sick as a dog. He was coughing and his head felt like it was going to explode. He shouldn’t have gone swimming in the cold weather. His day started off on the wrong foot but he drove to his meeting.

When he met Julia Roberts, he was very nervous. But she liked him very much. She asked him to act in her movie.

Now Larry the lion was a famous movie star and he was sitting on top of the world.

Okay, so that was the story told as if it has already happened. Now let’s tell the story as if it is happening right now. Okay, so here we go.
