A Severe Car Accident | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Here is an essay on "A severe car accident", written when I was in Primary Four (10 year old).

Blurry-eyed, Mr Tan woke up and wondered aloud, “What is the time now?” On seeing the time on his alarm clock, he jolted up in shock. It was seven in the morning! In a split second, he dashed to the bathroom.

Finishing his shower, Mr Tan dressed into his work clothes and whooshed off to the dining room. Mrs Tan was as busy as a bee in the kitchen preparing breakfast. At that moment, Mrs Tan spotted Mr Tan at the corner of her navy blue eyes and said, “You really need to have a sense of urgency.”

When Mrs Tan saw that Mr Tan was in the dining room, she hastily placed her husband’s breakfast onto the dining table. Wolfing down his breakfast in five minutes, Mr Tan kissed Mrs Tan on her right cheek and said, “Bye dear. See you tonight.” Three minutes later and he had clambered into his fifteen year old rickety car and was soon driving off.

Blinking continuously to keep his tired eyes open, Mr Tan swerved his car from lane to lane unknowingly. As his car zigzagged down the street like a snake, the cars on the street were forced to screech to a stop and their drivers leaning forward on their horns as they tried to avoid colliding into Mr Tan’s car.

All of the sudden, Mr Tan spotted a flashy red BMW zooming right into his path. He jammed on the brakes but it was too late. The huge impact of the collision sent Mr Tan’s car swerving to the right and turning turtle while the other driver’s car skidded for a few minutes before crashing into the Angsana tree by the opposite sidewalk.

The driver of the other car was pinned under a fallen tree branch and the mangled pieces of metal, which used to be the bonnet of his car. Smeared with blood, the driver’s face was as pale as death.

Several minutes later, Mr Tan was rescued by the Civil Defence and rushed to the nearest SGH hospital. Half an hour after the fateful accident, Mrs Tan received a phone call from the police about her husband’s accident. Hearing the news that he was in hospital with severe injuries, Mrs Tan hastened to kill the call and prepared helter skelter for her visit to the hospital.

The accident will always chill Mr Tan to the bone whenever he recalls it. In fact, the accident has stayed fresh in his mind even after five years, as if it happened only a couple of days ago. Since that fateful day of his accident, Mr Tan vowed to turn over a new leaf to not drive when he is exhausted and instead to take a bus to avoid endangering others and himself on the roads.

Road accidents happen every day due to several reasons - exhaustion and unable to focus on the road conditions being one of the major factors. Let's ensure we remind those around us to be careful out there and keep the roads safe for everyone, shall we?

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 … Accompanied by the monotonous whirring sounds of the lift’s mechanical system, we were each absorbed in our thoughts as we looked on at the ascending numbers flashing in sequence on the lift display. Bump!

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 shoes, which looked as though they had been patched up a million times. The old man had scanty white hair, a wrinkly face which was as pale as death. He u

An Act of Bravery | Essay for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"An act of bravery" was an essay I wrote and was featured recently :-) Hope you like it. Davin’s act of bravery was certainly admirable. “Class, this is the new student, Davin Chang. Please welcome him as our new addition!” Mrs Phua, our teacher, informed everyone in her usual chirpy voice. Shooting a look at him, I instantly made a silent decision never to befriend him. Davin was as skinny as a twig and looked shy. What’s more, his school uniform was as old as the hill, indicating that he was probably living in extreme poverty. All of us must have shared the same thoughts, for everyone seemed to look at him in utter disgust. From that day onwards, we made an “oath” - never to befriend him. After all, why bother befriending Davin when he was poor and looked like a rodent? I should have remembered back then not to judge a book by its cover. Excitement bubbled in pupils like soda water as they dashed off towards
