Share this

This is an example of how to write a short story about a free fall. It provides practice for the writing section of the Cambridge English B1 Preliminary exam. 

Please note for the real test, it isn’t a gap-fill exercise. You will write a short story using about 100 words.

B1 Preliminary Writing Part 2 Short Story: Free Fall

Your English teacher has asked you to write a story.

Your story must begin with this sentence: It was dangerous, but I knew that I had to do it.

Listen to the Short Story.

More exercises available:

We add reading and writing exercises on a regular basis. Why not bookmark our site, so you can come back to practice anywhere or at any time of the day?

Part 1 - Read five real-world notices, messages and other short texts for the main message.

Part 2 - Match five descriptions of people to eight short texts on a particular topic, showing detailed comprehension.

Part 3 - Read a longer text for detailed comprehension, gist, inference and global meaning, as well as writer’s attitude and opinion.

Part 4 - Read a longer text from which five sentences have been removed. Show understanding of how a coherent and well-structured text is formed.

Write about 100 words, answering the email and notes provided.

In addition, we add listening and speaking exercises in order to practise for this part of the B1 Preliminary test.
The more words you encounter and understand, the broader your day-to-day vocabulary will become. Our word games and puzzles are an excellent way to help to reinforce spellings in your mind.
Especially helpful are exercises that are focussed on a theme or topic as these provide word retention practice so you can be confident to read, write, speak and listen successfully.
