A Challenge | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Here is an essay about "A Challenge". 
            “Hooray!” My parents are going to purchase a Lego toy for me!” I thought as my parents and I walked in the direction of the Lego shop called Secret Chamber. Having passed my examinations with flying colours, my proud parents decided to purchase a Lego toy for me.

            I decided to quicken my pace as I filled with excitement. When I reached the shop with my parents, gasping for air as they caught up with me, I entered it and went about selecting my Lego toy. A while later and I had decided to buy a Lego city police helicopter. As my parents paid for the toy, my heart was jubilant and sang out in great joy. My eyes danced as what I had wished had come true.

            Reaching home, the first thing I did was to remove my shoes and rush into my room to fix my Lego city police helicopter. After that, I took out the components from the box. Since the components were in plastic sachets, I used a pair of scissors to cut through the plastic. Taking five minutes to complete the task, I separated the Lego bricks according to their respective colours.

            I started off by building the mini-figurine. It was as easy as ABC in comparison to the police helicopter. Despite it being very tedious to construct, I was about to give up when I recalled my mother’s favourite saying, “Never give up, If you give up, every challenge that you confront will be an obstacle to you.” These words kept reverberating in my mind. Reassured, I was determined to continue. I had learnt patience and perseverance that day – two values which would see me through any hardships. An hour later, with sheer determination, I completed building the 200-piece police helicopter. I smiled, delighted at my achievement. I wonder what would have come out of the Lego set if I had given up after finding it too challenging …

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 … ...

Another one from the old collection of my Primary Two (8 years old) essays. I did this one at home. Fishing Trip It was a hot and blistering day .   Tom and his father decided to go to the river to fish.   It was Tom’s first fishing trip and he didn’t want to miss it. When they reached there, Tom and his father sat at the river and Tom’s father took out bait and fishing rods to fish with.   Tom’s father gave Tom one to fish.
