Week Six Text Blog Entry Four-a narrative or recount

Here is a link to an article about a woman called Florence Finch who died last night aged 113.She was born in December 22,1893 and lived with her husband in London until he died in 1964,then she came to NZ in 1969 lived with her daughter and son-in-law.Mrs Finch's doctor said that she had always been a good eater and in a good health,her eye-sight and hearing failed lastly.Of course,she was the oldest woman in New Zealand.

Most of the verb forms are in the past simple form which explain what happened.There are three examples of the past perfect simple. 'had always been in a good health', 'had always been a good eater' and 'had been a patient of', all of these verbs refer to before her death.
