- Orientation :
Tells the readers who was involved in the story, what happened, where the story took place, and when it happened.
- Events :
Tell the sequence of events.
- Re-orientation :
Summarises the event.

They gave them food and drink. There was a film for their entertainment. They had a very pleasant flight. They slept part of the way.
On arrival at Heathrow Airport, they had to go to Customs and Immigration. The officers were pleasant. They checked the document carefully but their manners were very polite. Mr. Richard and his family collected their bags and went to London Welcome Desk. They arranged the transfer to a hotel.
