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 … ...

Marooned on an island | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Hey there. Here's an adventure story " Marooned on an island" from me - a departure from my usual essay topics. Hope you enjoy this! “No. This cannot be happening,” I muttered to myself as I stared at what was right before my bespectacled eyes. I had been marooned on a deserted island. The ship I was in had run aground. The sun shone brilliantly and the high clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. My hands felt clammy. I tried looking for any signs of human activity but there was nobody in sight. The thought of being all alone sent shivers down my spine. Being positive, I decided to go in search of food for myself. Arriving at the entrance of the jungle twenty minutes later, I was trembling like a leaf and my heart pounded wildly as I staggered uninhabited jungle on the i...

Incident of cheating at the exams (Primary 4 essay for 10 year olds by Elijah Wee, Singapore)

I am particularly proud of this essay I wrote when I was in Primary 4 (10 years old) at Ngee Ann Primary School - received my personal best score for this one, entitled "Incident of cheating at the exams" . John was a lazy boy. He would always play computer games and watch television. One day, before his English examination, he began to panic as he had not revised for it. John took out his textbook and copied some notes down on the palm of his hand. The next day, when the English examination had started, their form teacher, Mrs Ong, left the examination hall and the stern-looking Mrs Lim entered. As John was writing on his paper, he encountered a difficult question. No matter how hard he tried to think of the answer, his mind remained a blank state . Just then, an idea brewed in his mind, "Why not copy the answers from the palm of my hand?" Before copying, John scanned the whole place like a robber on the lookout for men in b...
