Using the paragraph below, write a story. It can be long, or short. If you can't fit the whole story, just write it in a google doc or something, and attach it as a file. (You will have to go to file-> make a copy-> pdf)

"Soon after the moving truck departed, I made way next door to greet the new neighbors. A boy was playing in the yard, and I greeted him and introduced myself. In response, the boy ducked his head and mumbled an inaudible reply. Though he smiled, he quickly retreated toward his mother on the porch. When I said, "Welcome to the neighborhood,” his cheeks turned pink, and he disappeared through the open front door."

The key to writing a story is that it must contain exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a resolution. The paragraph provided appears to contains some exposition (setting is a new neighbor's house, characters include the narrator, the shy boy, and the mother). Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what the conflict is. The simplest answer would be something like:

"As I watched him run back into his house, I wondered what I can do to make him open up to me more. I went back home and began to get to work. I cleaned the house, prepared some cookie batter, and wrote a friendly invitation set for tommorow at noon. I dropped the letter into the new neighbors' mailbox. The next day, I prepared a nice lunch; I cut some sandwiches, squeezed some lemonaid, and put the cookies into the oven. At 11:57, I heard my doorbell ring. I opened the door, and saw the neighbors standing at the porch, including the new kid. I invited them in and set out the lunch. The boy was nervous as he stepped inside, but as he sat down and ate the cookies, I could see that he gradually became more comfortable. By the end of lunch, I got to know the new kid's name and his hobbies. They thanked me and walked back across my yard back to their house, and I couldn't wait to see my new friend again."

Ultimately, however, this kind of writing is very flat and uninspired. To make the story more intersting, I recommend witing out a quick outline of the rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. For example:

Rising action: Visit the family the next day, but see that they are kidnapped by aliens

Climax: Breakout the family from the spaceship

Falling action: Crashland the spaceship back to Earth

Resolution: Get back home safely, and prevent an alien invasion

In the end, you should be able to come up with your own idea of what you should write.
