Elijah's Life Experiences

"The Reward after my Exams" is an unpublished essay from my days in Primary Two.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.   ...

Within minutes, a hot-tempered lady stood up and walked towards the entrance.   There she narrated to a security guard what was happening. The security guard sprang into action. ...
