Elijah's Life Experiences

Here's another Primary 2  (8 years old) composition I wrote which describes  about the incident of the broken vase . The Broken Vase It was raining heavily today.   John and Tom were bored as they could not go outdoors to play.   Then they got an idea to play football in the house. They decided to play in the living room where there was lots of space.  John and Tom started to kick the ball around. They were having fun when suddenly Tom kicked the ball and accidentally hit a flower vase on a table.  The vase dropped onto the floor and shattered into many pieces .  They were frightened.  Just then, their mother came into the living room.  When she saw the broken fragments of the vase on the floor, she flew into a rage and scolded them.                    Their mother scolded them for playing football recklessly in ...

Here is a composition I wrote when I was in Primary 2 (8 years old) in Ngee Ann Primary School . I did this as part of my practice at home to hone my writing skills. Art Contest at the Park There was an Art Contest at the pack today.  Tom was among the many contestants who took part in it. His parents brought him to a shady sport at the park.  With his paint brushes, Tom painted the beautiful scenery around them.                    After Tom had finished his painting, he handed it to the organizer.  After all the art pieces had been submitted, the judges started to select the winning pieces. Tom won the first prize!  When he went up the stage to receive the prize, his father, mother, sister and cousins cheered for him.  Tom was beaming with pride that he had won the Art Competition. Well, I must admit I am not good in art. Have you won ...

Here is another cat rescue essay from my Primary Two (8 years old) home practice collection . A good deed (rescuing a trapped cat) One windy Wednesday after school, John was walking back home.  Out of the bolt , he heard a crying sound and turned around to see what was making the crying sound.   Tom followed the sound and saw a little girl crying at the tree beside him. John asked the little girl why she was crying.    The little girl told him that her cat had climbed up the tree and could not climb back down.   John looked up the tree and saw a scared and frightened cat perched onto one of the tree branches. Immediately, John called the firemen for help.   Within minutes, the firemen arrived at the scene.   After placing a ladder against the tree, a fireman climbed up the ladder to help get the cat safely down. On reaching the ground, the cat immediately jumped into its owner’s arms.   The little girl was happy that her cat was resc...

Here is a short essay during my earlier days as a Primary Two (8 years old) student at Ngee Ann Primary School . Jane saves a cat It was a Sunday morning. Jane was strolling along a canal. She was on her way to the mall. As she was walking, Jane saw a cat in the canal.  The cat was drowning. When Jane saw the cat drowning, she felt worried that the cat would die. Jane wanted to save the cat but she was worried and frightened that she would drown with the cat too.  After much consideration , Jane decided to rescue the cat.  She slowly climbed over the railing and walked down the steps.  The cat was near the steps.  In the end, she managed to rescue the cat from the canal.  She felt happy and glad. a work by Elijah Wee , Singapore Photo credit: rikkis_refuge / Foter.com / CC BY

Another one from the old collection of my Primary Two (8 years old) essays. I did this one at home. Fishing Trip It was a hot and blistering day .   Tom and his father decided to go to the river to fish.   It was Tom’s first fishing trip and he didn’t want to miss it. When they reached there, Tom and his father sat at the river and Tom’s father took out bait and fishing rods to fish with.   Tom’s father gave Tom one to fish. After half an hour, Tom felt a strong tug from his fishing line.   Tom quickly pulled out his fishing rod out.   The fish that he caught was struggling to get out.   Tom also struggled to pull the fish out of the water.   When he finally managed to pull it out, he took a look at it and found out it was an enormous fish.   Tom felt excited about this first catch. After that, they started a fire. They cooked the fish over the fire. The fish was very delicious. Tom looked forwa...

Here's another short essay I did during my days as a Primary Two (8 years old) student at Ngee Ann Primary School . I completed this essay as part of my own exercise to be a better writer. Mind the sign (at the zoo) It was a Thursday afternoon. Jane’s class went on a Learning Journey to the zoo. They first went to the ducklings’ enclosure. They saw six cute ducklings and they were excited. Inside the enclosure, there was a sign that said, “Do not touch”. Jane wanted to touch the ducklings so she ignored the sign.  She bent over to touch the ducklings. The ducklings started to quack. After a while, the ducklings’ mother appeared and bit Jane’s hand. Jane shouted in pain.  Tears flowed down her cheeks. Mrs. Tan and the zookeeper heard the shout and quickly ran to Jane.   They removed her hand from the ducklings’ mother.  Mrs. Tan applied cream on Jane’s hand while the zookeeper told her she should not ignore...
