From my archives of my days in Primary two, here is another essay about "Death of a pet".       Mary, a twelve-year –old girl, took her pet Dalmatian for a walk along Holland Road. At that time of the day, it was bustling with activity . Many vehicles were seen. At a nearby open field, four boys were playing soccer.       Unexpectedly, one of the boys kicked the ball so hard that the ball flew into the air and landed right onto the busy road. Mary saw the ball rolling onto the road. Her dog began barking excitedly wanting to retrieve it. At that juncture , the black and white Dalmatian broke free from its startled owner and ran across the road not giving much thought to oncoming vehicles.       The dog desperately wanted to catch hold of the ball. Like a bolt of the blue, a car appeared approaching in it direction at top speed. Unable to brake on time, the dog was knocked down. It somersaulted into the air and land...

"The Reward after my Exams" is an unpublished essay from my days in Primary Two.       Yesterday, my family and I went to Vivocity to buy the Hex bugs toy from ToysRUs.   We were intending to have our dinner there too.   After my father had parked his car, my family and I went to ToysRUs, which was on the second floor, to buy the toys.       When we reached ToysRUs, I saw a huge variety of toys there.   I quickly rushed to find the Hex bugs while my family followed behind me.   When we reached the Hex Bug section, I happily chose the Hex bug toys I had been looking forward to.       Then we went up to have our dinner at a restaurant which was an “eat all you can eat” buffet restaurant.   Its name is Marche.   Before we could go in, one of the staff gave each of us a card to use to pay for our food. After we got our seats, I went with my parents to select the food I wanted.   ...
