What date do you think it is when the Time Traveller finally stops
What do you think is different about that time from the time he left
Who or what do you think the Time Traveller will meet
What adventures do you think he will have in the future
Do you think he will ever return to his own time
Possible Answer
The Time Traveller stops in the year 802701. The whole earth looks like a garden with beautiful, happy people called Eloi who play all the time, but this hides a horrible truth; there is a whole world of people called Morlocks who live underground in a dark, mechanised society who use the Eloi as a source of food. The Time Traveller meets an Eloi woman and falls in love with her. The Time Traveller and the Eloi woman are attacked by Morlocks. He is able to escape, but he loses contact with the woman and perhaps she is killed. The Morlocks then steal the Time Machine and use it as bait to capture and kill
Possible Answer
the Time Traveller. However, once he is in the Time Machine, he pulls the lever and begins to travel in time again and is able to make his escape. He travels 30 million years into the future to see the sun cool and the earth turn into a lifeless planet. He then travels back to the time from where he
started out, only to find that three hours
have passed.

Sample Writing
I thought this summer vacation at Aunt Jenny’s would go as interesting as watching paint dry. Hers was an old house, built before time began, it seemed. One hundred years ago it was often filled with people coming to stay for the summer—it was such large, grand house that there would be thirty or forty guests at a time, and the host barely knew who some of them were. Then there was the host himself— my great grandfather. He was widely thought of as the smartest, funniest man of his age, and people would come from all over the world to see him.
But that was all in the past. Now the only person who lived here was Aunt Jenny, who lived in one small part of the house and kept the rest closed up. Then
I caught the sun shining in my eyes from a tall mirror in the hallway.
"How pretty! It must be a hundred years old. If only I could go back and see my great grandfather!” I said, cleaning the dirt off the mirror with my hand.
Suddenly, the shiny mirror became a sea of clouds and I felt myself being pulled inside it. The world began to spin, and I felt confused.
Then, just like that, everything stopped I looked around, and there I was with the mirror and in the
same hall. but things were different. The family photos
on the wall were now replaced by paintings of people
I did not recognise. The furniture all looked new but
old-fashioned at the same time. “I must be one hundred years into the past!” I thought to myself. Then a woman wearing old-fashioned clothing came down the hall. Drawing near, she frowned and said, “Oh， that won't do! The party starts in twenty minutes and you are still in casual clothes! What You didn't bring anything I've got a lovely dress you can borrow. I think it will just fit. " She led me away to her room and helped me get dressed like I was an old friend, and then together we went down to the parlour, which was filled with people dressed in fine clothes gathering around my great grandfather, listening to every word he said.
I spent the summer there, pretending to be a distant cousin from the city who was there on holiday. No one seemed to mind or care, as my great grandfather was quite wealthy and always had lots of guests. I tried to spend as much time as possible with my great grandfather and his friends, and it was the most wonderful time of my life.
Then when the end of summer drew near, I went back to the mirror and rubbed it with my hand again. I found myself back in the same hall, but in modern time. Not a minute had passed. Then I realised that I still had a full summer ahead at boring Aunt Jenny's. "Now what am I going to do " I asked myself.
