To use AI as a creative thinking partner to generate ideas for alternative endings to the radio soap Family Business, without letting AI write the full script.

• “What emotions might Trudy be feeling at the end of the story?”

• “What could motivate Kathy to keep a secret?”

• “How might Eve feel if her restaurant closes?”

• “What could happen to The Full Moon restaurant in the next episode?”

• “What problems might the family face next week?”

• “What if a new character arrives — how could that change things?”

• “Can you suggest a dramatic twist that would surprise the listeners?”

• “What are three possible endings — one happy, one sad, and one funny?”

• “How could the ending show a lesson about family or business?”

These model prompts tell the AI what to do and what not to do:

Example 1

“I’m studying an English radio soap called Family Business. Please give me three ideas for how the story could end. Do not write the full ending — just short ideas that show what might happen next.”

Example 2

“Based on the story so far, what possible endings could include a surprise or a secret being revealed? Please only describe the ideas, not write any dialogue.”

Example 3

“I’m writing my own ending for Family Business. Can you help me think about what each character might want or fear at this point in the story?”

After using AI think about:

• “Which idea do you like best and why?”

• “How would you change the AI’s idea to make it your own?”

• “What new words or expressions did you learn from the AI’s response?”

Using the same questioning techniques:

• Ask AI for dramatic endings.

• Ask AI for funny endings.

• Ask AI for happy or sad endings.
