 If you're a GCSE English student, here are three grade nine phrases that use powerful onomatopoeia and you can use these phrases in any creative writing story. Number one, a cacophony of beeping and tooting. This is really powerful onomatopoeia that describes a really busy city and this is useful, especially if you're writing a story that's based in the city. Number two, trilling birds, describing birds as a chirping and making these beautiful noises. Number three, squeal flutter creek. Here, you're not only using onomatopoeia, you're also using listing and rule of three. So this is a real triple whammy in your story.
