National Day Parade | Essay for 8 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

As Singapore's independence day, National Day (9 August), is fast approaching, I dug up an essay I wrote when I was 8 years old on "National Day Parade".

          Last Sunday was National Day. John and his family went to watch the National Day Parade. There were many families and young children wearing red and white clothing. It was a nationwide celebration.


          The first parade was an army of soldiers marching proudly in their military uniforms. They were dressed smartly and were carrying their shiny rifles. The whole place was a sea of red and white, the colours of the Singapore flag. It was an exciting event.

          Flags were raised and fluttering vigorously in the wind. John and his family enjoyed themselves tremendously that evening and had a great time there. John was left awestruck and he was very proud to be a Singaporean, a part of such a superb nation.

Stuck in the lift | Short essay, story for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"Stuck in the lift" - an experience I am sure a number of you may be able to relate to ... but in this particular case though, it was a little worse than the usual one ...              Brave.             I had always thought I was brave. As brave as a lion. Not fearful of anything.             Until the lift had broken down.             I was waiting patiently for the lift doors to open. A mother and her daughter waited patiently. The mother, clad in a light blue dress made of best quality material, clutched her daughter’s hand. Her lustrous blond hair cascaded down her well-toned shoulders. My innermost thoughts were soon jolted by the familiar mechanical sound of the lift’s doors opening. If only I had reconsidered taking the stairs … ...

I have always loved birthday parties , whether it be mine or my friends'. Here is an essay on "The Surprise Birthday Party" , which I wrote when I was in Primary 2  (8 years old).

An act of kindness | Essay for Primary School kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

" An act of kindness" , a essay I wrote earlier in Primary 4 (10 years old) ...           School was over.          “Mountains and mountains of homework! Why do our teachers have to give us so much homework these days?” lamented Jason as he trudged home with heavy footsteps on the pavement. His schoolbag weighed like a ton of bricks. Jason felt that sooner or later he would collapse because of the heavy weight! Jason’s face was as glum as an oyster and he was not in the best of moods.          However, Jason’s mood was soon destined to be changed.          At that juncture, from the corner of his deep-set eyes, Jason spotted an old man hobbling past him. He was a tall shrivelled person who looked as though all body juices had been dried out of him long ago in a hot oven. On his feet, he wore worn-out leather ...
