Outro Presentation: The case of Fogg’s missing journals_CASE SOLVED

Time is not merely counted—it is felt, shaped, and remembered. Within the solemn halls of the British Museum, time becomes almost visible, resting gently upon artifacts that refuse to fade.
Consider the eternal stillness of the Giza Pyramids. They do not race against time; they endure it. In contrast, the Suez Canal and the coming of trains during the Industrial Revolution reveal humanity’s restless desire to master time—to shorten distances and to move faster. Yet, in this pursuit, a question quietly arises: does saving time always mean valuing it?
The Taj Mahal offers a different answer. It teaches that time finds its highest meaning not in speed, but in devotion. Built to preserve love beyond death, it reminds us that what is truly precious is not how long something lasts, but how deeply it is felt. Likewise, the Silk Road did more than connect lands—it accelerated the exchange of ideas, cultures, and wisdom, proving that time gains value when it is shared.
The rhythm of time is also written in nature and tradition. The Chinese calendar and the phases of the moon teach harmony with cycles, urging patience and balance.
In the fleeting blossoms of Hanami, we are gently reminded that beauty exists precisely because it does not last. From the disciplined lives of the Samurai, we learn that every moment demands intention—that time, when honored, becomes a path to mastery.
Yet history also bears witness to sorrow: the Trail of Tears stands as a painful reminder that time can carry injustice, but also memory, resilience, and the enduring spirit of a people.
And there, at Greenwich, where the Prime Meridian divides the world, humanity has tried to measure time, to order it, to make it universal. But even as clocks align, our experience of time remains deeply personal.
Thus, TIME teaches us its final, quiet lesson: it is not ours to control, only to choose within. As Gandalf reminds us, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.” Let us then choose wisely—not to fill our hours endlessly, but to deepen them; not merely to pass time, but to transform it into moments of meaning, presence, and true quality.

How to Write a Captivating Short Story I

Writing a great story is about more than just a good plot; it is about using the right grammatical tools to bring your memories to life. Today, I will show you how to use narrative tenses, vivid descriptions, and discourse markers using a story from June 1937.

1. Master Your Narrative Tenses

To create flow, you must use three main tenses:

  • Past Continuous: Use this for background actions that were in progress.

    Example: “The sun was shining and I was walking home from church.”

  • Simple Past: Use this for the main actions or the next events in the story.

    Example: “I saw a girl and I introduced myself.”

  • Past Perfect: Use this for actions that happened before the main story started.

    Example: “She told me she had seen me in town before.”

2. Use Adjectives and Adverbs

Don’t just say “it was a hot day.” Use adjectives to describe nouns and adverbs to describe actions. This makes the scene “pop.”

  • Adjectives: “It was the hottest day in decades. She was the most beautiful girl.”

  • Adverbs: “She shyly looked down. We talked happily all morning.”

3. Bring Characters to Life with Direct Speech

Use reporting verbs (said, replied, whispered) and correct punctuation to show exactly what was said.

“My name is Jenny,” she replied softly.

4. Organize with Discourse Markers

To help your reader follow the timeline, use markers to show the sequence of events.

  • First, I saw her reading a book.

  • Then, our eyes met and she smiled.

  • After that, I decided to go and talk to her.

A.

It was June, 1937. The hottest day in decades. I was walking home from church when I saw the most beautiful girl in the world. She was sitting on a bench in the park and she was reading some book. Suddenly, she looked up and our eyes met. She smiled at me and then shyly looked back down into her book. I decided to go and talk to her. I just had to meet her. I walked up to her and introduced myself. Her name was Jenny. She told me that she had seen me before in town, but she was too shy to meet me. We were talking all morning and the time just flew by. That was the beginning of our story. I loved her until the day she died.

B.

It was June, 1937, one of the hottest, most sweltering days in decades. I was slowly walking home from the quiet old church, the sun beating mercilessly down on the dusty streets, when I suddenly saw the most breathtakingly beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was sitting gracefully on a worn wooden bench in the peaceful park, completely absorbed in a thick, well-loved book.

All at once, she gently lifted her eyes, and our gazes unexpectedly met. She smiled warmly at me, a soft, shy smile, and then quickly lowered her eyes back to the pages of her book. In that very moment, I felt an irresistible urge to approach her. I simply had to meet her.

With a racing heart, I nervously walked toward her and politely introduced myself. Her name was Jenny. In a quiet, hesitant voice, she told me that she had often noticed me around town, but she had always been far too shy to speak to me. We talked happily and endlessly all morning, and the hours passed incredibly fast, as if time itself had decided to rush by.

That unforgettable morning marked the true beginning of our beautiful story. I loved her deeply, faithfully, and unconditionally until the very day she peacefully passed away.

C

It was June, 1937—in fact, one of the hottest, most unbearably sweltering days in decades. That morning, I was slowly walking home from the quiet old church, the sun beating mercilessly down on the dusty streets, when suddenly I saw the most breathtakingly beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on. She was sitting gracefully on a worn wooden bench in the peaceful park, completely absorbed in a thick, well-loved book.

At that moment, she gently lifted her eyes, and to my surprise, our gazes met. She smiled warmly at me and said softly, “Good morning,” before shyly lowering her eyes back to the pages of her book. Immediately, I felt an irresistible urge to approach her. “I have to meet her,” I thought to myself.

So, with a racing heart, I nervously walked toward her and politely said, “Hello, my name is Thomas.” She looked up again and replied in a quiet, hesitant voice, “I’m Jenny.” Then, after a brief pause, she added, “I’ve seen you around town before, but I was always too shy to talk to you.”

From that point on, we talked happily and endlessly all morning. We laughed, shared stories, and slowly forgot about the passing time. Before we knew it, the hours had flown by, as if time itself had decided to rush forward.

In the end, that unforgettable morning marked the true beginning of our beautiful story. I loved her deeply, faithfully, and unconditionally until, sadly, the very day she peacefully passed away.

Christmas melodies from the 6th Graders!

With great joy and festive spirit, our 6th-grade students are taking us this year into the magical world of Christmas melodies through two beloved English-language songs: Carol of the Bells and The Twelve Days of Christmas. 🎄✨

Carol of the Bells, with its distinctive melody, gave the students the opportunity to experience a different style of Christmas music, working on rhythm, collaboration, and expression, creating a beautiful holiday atmosphere.

In The Twelve Days of Christmas, a traditional English song full of imagination and rhythm, the children discovered the joy of storytelling through song, practicing their vocabulary and memory in a playful and creative way. Each “day” brought a new gift, each verse a little celebration!

Carol of the bells_Twelve Days of Christmas

The festive experience was completed with the creation of a fun Christmas dance video! The students let their imagination and creativity run free, combining music, movement, and team spirit. With smiles, energy, and Christmas cheer, rhythm became a form of expression, and the school hall transformed into a little celebration. This video stands as a special memory of their efforts and captures in the most authentic way the joy of collaboration and creative learning.

Merry Christmas_FunVideo

Congratulations to all the 6th-grade students for their wonderful effort and festive result! 🎶🌟
