Unit 2 Writing Task: A Frightening Experience


It was a dark night and Linda was walking home by herself. It was raining hard and a cold wind was blowing. The street was deserted and Linda, who had always been afraid of the dark, began to walk more quickly.

Suddenly Linda thought she heard steps behind her. At first she told herself that she was imagining it, but after a few minutes she heard the steps again. She looked around and noticed a dark figure walking quickly behind her. Linda was terrified and began to walk faster, but the sound of the footsteps behind her became faster too. Linda could feel her heart beating as she began to run.

Then she saw the lights of a restaurant and hurried inside. A moment later, the door opened and a man entered. He was out of breath and didn't speak. As he took a step towards her, Linda opened her mouth to scream. At that moment, she noticed that he was holding her glove - the one she had dropped on the pavement while she was walking.
