Elijah's Life Experiences

Here's an essay entitled "Tsunami!"  by my Ngee Ann Primary School classmate, Tang Yu Jun during our Primary Four year.          “Mom, Dad, please wake up! You promised to take us to the beach today since I’ve done well for the test!” I said as I playfully pulled the blankets off both my parents. It was an idyllic and leisurely Saturday morning and my parents were still in bed. I had done well for my test, so my parents had agreed to bring my younger sister, Jane, and me to the beach.          We had already been woken up by the ‘ring’ of my alarm clock at seven in the morning. We had quickly zoomed to the kitchen to prepare some sandwiches. We had also prepared all the stuff we needed and put them into our rucksacks and were ready to go! We just had to wait for our parents to get ready.          Once we reached the beach, we immediate...

Here is the latest essay from my classmate, Tang Yu Jun, on "The Competition" . It was the day of my long-awaited 1.6 kilometre running competition. I had been training for the past six months for the competition. I was at the stadium doing some stretching and warm-up exercises.

Let me introduce to you another one of my classmates from Ngee Ann Primary School, Tang Yu Jun , who has contributed his work "The accident" . “Hurry up!” Tom and Fred’s mother hollered. It was the perfect weather for snuggling under the cosy covers of the blanket but Tom and Fred had to go to school. Their father was already dressed in a business suit and was waiting impatiently for them to get ready.

However, Tom and Fred were complaining about the bad weather and were being extremely uncooperative. Fred yelled, “Why do we need to go to school on a rainy day?!” Tom screamed, “I’m not ready for the test today!” But their father, who was getting impatient, thundered, “Get into the car now! If not, I’ll be late for my meeting!” Reluctantly, the boys trudged towards the car. Dark, ominous clouds swept across the sky and it was raining cats and dog...
