Show don't Tell narrative openings - English

For my next creative writing task, I have to write some show don't tell, narrative opening sentences. This can be reflected from the images given or made up ones from our own knowledge. These are the three images that I will be showing not telling, what is happening. Hope you like it.    

1. Another day as my busy fingers are moving along my keyboard, in a room filled with boredom. 

2. I had this nauseous feeling of goosebumps running down my body, as the cold air is flowing on my skin. Then a man walked past me and gave me a glare.   

3. A smell of smoke lingered in my room as I immediately sprinted out and froze, watching the blistering flames from another house.

Show don't tell - English

Show don't Tell 

What does "Show don't tell" mean? It is a technique used in many kinds of texts to allow the readers to see the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings, other than through the authors description or exposition. 

The buildings were tall - I was standing next to buildings that were lofty in the sky. 

Sarah was upset - Sarah fell on her knees sulking with tears pouring out of her eyes.  

She was so happy to see him - She had an mighty grin on her face, as he walked towards her. 

The lake was beautiful - The lake glittered up as the sun shone above the water.
