I know there's all you smart writers out there, and I know you're dying to do my English homework for me. And don't give me that "do your homework yourself"-crap, I couldn't do it because I had to help my dad in the garden. (Hmmm why do I think this excuse will work with you guys and not with my English teacher? Hmmmmm never mind 😛)
I have to do one of these creative writing assignments:
-Write a short account of a family trip - real or fictional. Give it a title and at least two sub-headings. Try to find headings with both a literal and a figurative meaning.
or
-Write a short article for your school magazine on a youth-related topic. The following phrases from the feature article might help inspire you: "high-pressure parents", "cut the parental apron strings", "too much choice".
Since I don't see a way how I could possibly fit those phrases into a story without wetting myself with laughter, I think I'll go for the first one... writing a fictional account of a family trip. I don't even want you to write the thing for me (as that would mean I have to copy it down by hand, which is even more annoying than doing it myself), I just want a plot line. You know, give me a story, and I'll try to phrase it nicely, fit a moral into it and look for the fracking headlines.
So... anybody here who's got more fantasy than I do atm?
Love to anyone who comes up with something decent 😉

The stage was set, the baggage packed and the dog buried under the porch, it was family road trip time. Everyone remembers them, hours spent in the too hot car with people you don't get along with at the best of times. There's the smell that goes with it that is unique, but even the slightest whiff of it will take you right back to that seatbelt with metal that burned.
Well actually this was intended to be a humourly bad piece but isn't working out that way. So I'm not doing anymore.
PS. Do your own homework.

I didn't let others do it for me either, though. 😉 I remember one time when I was asked to read my English homework in class, so I made it up on the spot and pretended reading it out of my exercise book. Luckily the teacher didn't want to see it. 😀

The family outing is to the neighbours BBQ. The neighbour is a dermatologist.
The youth problem (we're gonna do both assignments in one...why not?) is acne.
You don't want to bother the doctor, but your high-pressure parents are forcing you to go up to him to ask for advice.
You could choose to flee the BBQ because of leaking zits;
You could choose to do what your parents tell you, although you really feel you ought to cut the parental apron strings that bind you to their will;
You could choose to act like you're talking to the doctor about your acne, but in fact be telling him your parents are actually vegetarians and are only going to act like they're eating his meat.
So many choices...
Title: Barbeque and black heads
Sub title 1: Do you want white sauce with that steak?
Sub title 2: Lies, damn lies and salad

Thing is - because I lived in the US for 2 years, I'm the person with the best English in my class. Cool as that might be, it also makes it painstakingly obvious when I copy from someone else in my class... which is why I stopped doing it. *sigh* I think I may have to use Xanthos' beginning... 😕
When I was younger I went to the seaside with my family. It rained. On the way back my little brother needed to go to the toilet but my dad would not stop. So little bro had to p*ss in a one-litre Coke bottle as we drove along. He nearly filled it.
I didn't learn much about myself that day, to be honest.
Feel free to use any of the above. Good luck!
Originally posted by angie88Yeah you use my beginning. Yeah just like that. OOOh yeah.

Yeah um I was once like driving across the country wit my parents... in a car, when this like squirrel hit our windshield and left some blood witch was kewl dat reminds me of this time when I was all like at this party and got really drunk fun. Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale (a tale of a fateful trip) when I was driving across country with my parents some other time... this time we were in a boat... haha, just kidding we were in a car but no squirrel hit us. Guess it musta been a flying squirrel last time anyway we stopped at a dinner to get something to eat and the waitress was really fat so we ordered our food and it got there and we ate it, which felt good cause I was hungry from being in the car sense we left the house. But the food wasn't very good so we went to the bathroom, and then we left, and then we got into the car, and kept going. When we got there, I had fun, and played frisbee.
THE END
