💡 Some Important Quick Notes for 4-Star Stories
Grasp All Lose All:
A dog with a bone crosses a bridge — sees reflection in water — thinks another dog has bigger bone — barks to grab it — loses his own bone in river.
Look Before You Leap:
A fox falls into a well — tricks a goat to jump down — uses goat’s back to escape — goat trapped. Think before you act.
Who Will Bell the Cat:
Mice in a meeting plan to tie bell on cat’s neck — great idea but nobody dares to do it. Planning is easy, execution is hard.
Hidden Treasure:
Dying farmer tells sons treasure is buried in field — sons dig all over — find no gold — but ground becomes fertile — crop gives real treasure. Hard work itself is the hidden treasure.
The Fox and the Crow:
Crow holds a piece of meat — fox flatters crow about its beautiful voice — crow opens beak to sing — meat falls — fox grabs it. Beware of flattery.

✍️ WRITING TRICKS & TECHNIQUES
The Secret Weapons of Top Scorers
🎯 Trick 1: The “Bridge Sentence” Technique
When you receive the given portion, your first sentence must act as a bridge. It should:
- Continue the given portion smoothly
- Introduce what happens next
- Not repeat what is already written
❌ Wrong Approach:
Given: “Once there was a thirsty crow…”
Student writes: “The crow was very thirsty and was looking for water.”
(This just repeats the given information!)
✅ Right Approach:
“After a long search, the crow finally spotted a pitcher under a tree, but to its dismay, the water was too low to reach.”
(This bridges and advances the story!)
🎯 Trick 2: The “3-Act Structure”
Every completing story should follow this invisible structure:
ACT 1 — SITUATION (already given, or you set it up)
↓
ACT 2 — PROBLEM + ATTEMPT TO SOLVE (your main writing)
↓
ACT 3 — RESOLUTION + MORAL (your ending — most important!)
Most students write a long Act 2 and forget Act 3. Examiners specifically check the moral. Always leave space for it.
🎯 Trick 3: The “Zoom In — Zoom Out” Method
Zoom In on one key moment in the story — describe it with slight detail to make it vivid.
Zoom Out to show the result and moral.
Example for Robert Bruce:
(Zoom In) “Bruce watched in fascination as the tiny spider made its seventh attempt, its thin silk thread trembling in the cave’s draft. But it held.”
(Zoom Out) “In that moment, something stirred in Bruce’s heart. If a small spider could refuse to give up, could he — a king — do any less?”
This technique shows writing maturity and earns extra marks.
🎯 Trick 4: Vary Your Opening Lines
Most students start with “Once upon a time” or “One day” — which is boring for examiners. Try these alternatives:
| Instead of… | Try This… |
|---|---|
| Once upon a time… | Long ago, in a quiet village… |
| One day… | On a hot summer afternoon… |
| There was a man… | In a small kingdom lived a king… |
| The crow was thirsty… | Thirst had driven the crow to desperation… |
🎯 Trick 5: The “Moral Sandwich” Ending
Don’t just write “Moral: Honesty is the best policy.”
Instead, use what we call the Moral Sandwich:
STORY ENDING SENTENCE
+
ONE CONNECTING SENTENCE
+
MORAL STATED NATURALLY
Example:
“The woodcutter returned home that evening with three axes instead of one. His family was astonished. From that day on, everyone in the village knew that an honest heart is rewarded more than a clever tongue. And truly, honesty is always the best policy.”
🎯 Trick 6: The “Emotion Anchor”
For stories involving characters making decisions, briefly show what the character feels — not just what they do. This adds depth.
| Just Action (Weak) | Action + Emotion (Strong) |
|---|---|
| The mouse ran to help the lion. | The mouse, remembering the lion’s kindness, did not hesitate for a moment. |
| The shepherd cried for help. | In a panic, the shepherd screamed until his voice broke — but the village remained silent. |
| The fox walked away. | With its pride wounded, the fox turned away, muttering what it knew in its heart was a lie. |
🎯 Trick 7: Tense Consistency Rules
This is where most students lose easy marks.
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| Use Simple Past for the main story | “The crow found a pitcher.” |
| Use Past Continuous for background | “The sun was beating down.” |
| Use Past Perfect for something before the story | “He had been walking for hours.” |
| Never mix present and past tense | ❌ “The fox sees the crow and thinks…” |

| Social Responsibility | Ant & Dove theme — helping those in need |

🎯 EXAM DAY STRATEGY
⏰ Time Management
| Task | Time |
|---|---|
| Read the given portion carefully | 2 minutes |
| Identify the story / theme | 1 minute |
| Plan your 3-4 paragraphs (mentally) | 2 minutes |
| Write the story | 12 minutes |
| Re-read and correct | 2 minutes |
| Total | ~19 minutes |
🚨 What To Do If You Don’t Know the Story
This happens. Don’t panic. Here is your survival strategy:
Step 1: Read the given portion very carefully — it contains all the clues you need.
Step 2: Identify the theme from context:
- Animals helping each other → Gratitude story
- Someone lying → Honesty story
- Someone working hard → Perseverance story
Step 3: Use the universal story structure:
- Character faces problem
- Tries to solve it
- Succeeds (or fails with lesson)
- Moral stated clearly
Step 4: End with a relevant moral — even a general moral like “Honesty is always the best policy” or “Hard work always pays” is better than no moral.
💡 Remember: Examiners award marks for logical completion + moral — not for knowing the exact original story. A well-written logical story with a good moral will always score well.

- Practiced Bridge Sentence technique
- Know the 3-Act structure by heart

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
📖 What is Completing Story?
Completing Story is a creative writing task in SSC English First Paper (Section B — Writing Part). You are given the beginning, middle, or sometimes the ending of a story, and you must complete it meaningfully.
What Examiners Expect:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Logical Flow | Your portion must connect naturally with the given part |
| Clear Moral | Every story must end with a moral lesson |
| Proper Length | Around 200–250 words total |
| Good Language | Simple, correct English with proper tense |
| Original Thinking | Don’t just memorize — adapt and write naturally |
🎓 How Board Exams Set This Question?
Understanding how the question is set helps you prepare smarter.
Three Types of Given Portions:
TYPE 1 — Beginning Given (Most Common)
"Once there was a crow who was very thirsty..."
→ You write: Middle + Ending + Moral
TYPE 2 — Middle Given (Common)
"...the fox looked at its tail and felt very sad..."
→ You write: Beginning + Ending + Moral
TYPE 3 — Ending Given (Less Common)
"...and from that day, nobody believed what he said."
→ You write: Beginning + Middle
💡 Pro Tip:
Over 70% of board questions give you the beginning portion. So always practice writing the middle and ending of each story. This is where most students lose marks.
Q1: How many completing stories should I prepare for SSC 2027?
Prepare all 20 five-star stories thoroughly. Then cover the top 10 from the 4-star list. That gives you coverage for virtually every question that has ever appeared in all 10 boards.
Q2: Is it okay to memorize completing stories word for word?
No — and this is a common mistake. You should memorize the key points, characters, and moral — then write naturally in your own words. Examiners can tell when something is memorized and it sounds robotic. Natural writing always scores better.
Q3: What is the perfect length for a completing story?
Your completed portion should be 150–200 words. With the given portion included, the total story should be around 200–250 words. Never go below 150 words for your portion.
Q4: What if I get a story I have never seen before?
Read the given portion carefully — it always tells you the theme. Then use the universal structure: problem → attempt → solution → moral. A well-structured unknown story scores better than a poorly written known one.
Q5: Should I write a title for the completing story?
Yes, always. Write a relevant title at the top. It shows organization and earns a good impression. Use the classic title if you know the story, or create a theme-based title like “The Reward of Honesty” or “Kindness Returns.”
Q6: How much time should I spend on completing story in the exam?
Maximum 18–20 minutes. Not more. You have other sections to complete. Practice speed-writing at home so 18 minutes feels comfortable.
Q7: Which theme appears most frequently across all boards?
Honesty and perseverance themes appear most consistently across all 10 boards every year. Make sure your honesty stories (Liar Shepherd, Honest Woodcutter, Honesty is Best Policy) and perseverance stories (Robert Bruce, Hare & Tortoise, Slow & Steady) are perfectly prepared.
Q8: Can I use Bangladeshi examples or local context?
Yes, and it actually helps! For modern honesty stories like Honesty of a Rickshaw Puller, you can mention a Dhaka setting, CNG driver, or local marketplace. This makes your story feel real and original.
Q9: What is the biggest difference between a 10/15 answer and a 14/15 answer?
The quality of the moral and smoothness of writing. Students who score 14-15 write morals that feel like a natural conclusion — not a forced last line. They also vary their vocabulary and use connecting phrases well.
Q10: Is the completing story compulsory in SSC English First Paper?
Yes, it is a compulsory part of the writing section. You cannot skip it or substitute another question for it.
🏁 FINAL WORDS TO SSC 2027 EXAMINEES
The completing story section is not about being a great writer. It is about being a prepared, organized, and smart writer.
Every story you prepare teaches you something — about life, about values, about people. Robert Bruce teaches you never to give up. The Thirsty Crow teaches you that a problem always has a solution if you think carefully. The Ant and the Dove teaches you that kindness always returns.
These are not just exam topics. They are lessons worth carrying through life.
Prepare smartly. Write naturally. Trust your preparation.
