The Haunted School

Recently Oak Park Elementary celebrated its 120th year, which would have
meant it was built around 1893. Let me tell my story, my name is Lisa; and in

2013, I was the janitor in that building. The building is three stories high, and I
had to clean every blessed room and restroom, up and down the stairs.
The first few weeks, nothing really happened, and I grew accustomed to
work in a ‘dead’ building. I would arrive shortly before 3 pm and make my
rounds testing that all the doors were locked, and that ‘empty’ classrooms
were indeed empty.
One day, I was in one of the older rooms. Although the room was as cheerful as a classroom can be made, I felt an acute sadness. I heard the sound of
small children crying, along with bangings on the windows. I walked over to
the windows to see if I could see if someone was hiding down in the window
wells. As soon as I approached the windows, the sound stopped. Almost every
night after that I would grow sad in that room, things would get moved, and
I’d hear the banging on the windows.
One day, two old ladies who lived in front of the school came over with a
glass of lemonade for me. I would guess them to be in their late 70s, early 80s.
They introduced themselves as Emma and Amelia. They told me how much
the school had changed since they went there. I asked them if anything ‘bad’
had happened there. “Oh, my! Yes!” came the reply. This is what they told me.
Their family had lived there for generations; in fact their father had gone to
school there back in the early 1800’s. It seems, the teacher had to leave the
room for some reason. But to ensure her young pupils stayed inside in their
seats, she locked the doorknob. While she was gone an ember from the fireplace set the room in fire and the youngsters, unable to get out, died. “He said
that the windows had to be replaced because they had beaten on the glass so
hard, that it was stained with their blood, and it wouldn’t wash off!” “And that
woman - their teacher? She blamed herself for the accident and committed
suicide in the same classroom!” Amelia turned to me, “Lisa, have you heard
them?” “The children, I mean. Have you heard them?”
Now, finish the story…
Did Lisa hear the children? Did she hear the teacher? Did she see them? Say
what happened to Lisa at the end; did she continue working there? Or say if
something bad happened to her. End the story the way you prefer.
Trata de seguir estos patrones de oraciones:
Did Lisa hear the children? Did she hear the teacher? Did she see
them?
Lisa verbo the objeto, personas and she also verbo the objeto, personas.
But she didn’t verbo + adjetivo o pronombre.
