SCAMPER rewriting : Cuber Trainer (Dolphin Trainer)

AN INTERVIEW WITH A CUBER TRAINER

Erik Chan has one of the best jobs in the world --- or at least he thinks so! He's a cuber trainer at Class 1R. Find out more about Erik and his fascinating job in the interview below.

How did you become a cuber trainer?
I saw people who don't know how to slove a cube in the class. I thought there should be a cuber trainer. That was nearly five days ago.

What qualification go you need to become a cuber trainer?
Firemen need to put out fires, cuber trainers need to train cubers. The trainers need to know how to solve a cube.

What does a cuber trainer actually do?
Well, one obvious answer is train cubers. I also look after cubes.

How do you train a cuber?
One of the first tricks we teach the cubers is to solve a easy cube with their hands. I think you know what hands are, right? Cubers also learn other tricks such as solving a easy cube with a hand, solving a easy cube blindfolded.

Would you recommend this job to other people?
Yes, definitely, but don't try if you are too stupid to slove a cube, just try if you are wise enough.

P.S. A people who solves cubes is called the cuber.

This is the story I think:



Slash was a friend of Stephanie and Axl.



The day of the wedding, Axl and Stephanie forgot to bring the ring because Axl was not paying attention on the wedding. Axl was paying attention on the other girl. After the party, she played piano with Axl in the bar when Stephanie came to found Axl. The girls fought. Stephanie wanted to kill the girl but Axl didn't.



Slash helped Stephanie to kill the girl. Everybody thought Slash was dead too. Stephanie killed herself in the pool because of Slash. Axl couldn't save Stephanie.

Story Writing:Loneliness

Loneliness

It was a sunny day. Mary went to school alone. Her head was down. She turned right when David was behind her. He walked slowly behind, sadly too. He saw Mary.

"M..." David called Mary but Mr. Woo came from behind and walked with Mary. They didn't noticed David. There were a lot of books in Mr. Woo's arms in front of his chest. They read together. David sobbed. He was lonely.

David didn't have a good time. After school, he walked along the road, with loneliness. He crossed the road sadly when a red man standing in the traffic light. A car came soon. The driver couldn't see David because he was listening to music......The time seems stopped. The car was still coming. The driver was still listening music. David's head was still down. The pedestrians were still having no attention with the coming car and David, but one person noticed, a person with familiar face, with strong arms. He was...Mr. Woo!

He pulled David out of the road with his strong arms. The car passed safely. "Just try to be friends with the others! Loneliness will soon get away."but David likely could not hear.

David got on a bus. He was tired. Suddenly, many Mr. Woos appeared, "Just try to be friends with the others...Just try to be friends with the others...Loneliness will soon get away..."David's brain was a mess. He could not think of anything, just a black screen.

David opened his eyes. He was still on a bus. No Mr. Woos. No orders. It was just a dream.

The next day, David still went to school alone. No Mr. Woo. No Mary. He went into the classroom.

"Can you be my friend?"

"Why not?"
