200 words essay? Not that it's impossible but it's just that i'm too LAZY to do it! We just came back from the one month school holiday and here we are writing a 200 words for our FIRST english lesson. I'm sure that during the one month holiday, many students will play with all their heart and eventually forgot something in this world called STUDYING. Well, at least i'm one of them. I'm having O level this year and yet I've wasted my whole holiday! Well, not actually wasted but used my time to the fullness. Performance for a concert, many outings organised by my friends and me, and of course church services with all the work i'm suppose to do. All these had alreday taken up the WHOLE of my holiday and i basically left with time enough for only eating, showering and sleeping. The performance was wonderful, though practise hours were killer. Everything turn out GREAT on the day itself. Outings I've organised also turned out great, most probably I'm the one who organised it. =) And all the work i did in church did impressed my Pastors and leaders alot. So, i dont realy call these wasting my holidays but using it fully. What more you can ask for when everybody arounds you are satisfied and happy about what you've done, you yourself will be happy and satisfied too!! =)
And I've completed my 200 words essay!!!!
Comments :
Your writing is too casual here. I hope you are capable of writing more formally in the manner that is required of your 'O' level paper.
No contractions please eg "it's", "I'm"
"I" is always in caps.
Never start your sentence with "Well"
Watch your spelling and tenses.
No smileys please.
You owe me something here.
TOPIC: 5(b) I made a mistake by telling him(or her) my secret
INTRODUCTION:What secrets i told the person. How much i have trusted in the person. How much the person tried to 'help' me. How the person spread the secret to everybody.
PARAGRAPH1:
How i get to know that friend. How i first started talking to the person. Talked about almost everything under the sun. Became best of friends.
PARAGRAPH2:
How we work out 'plans' to my secret
PARAGRAPH3:
How in the end i found out the person spread my secret to almost everybody
PARAGRAPH4:
How regretted i feel after that and dare not tell my secret to anyone.
CONCLUSION:
Never tell your secret to anybody unless you are 100% sure the person won't spread it and you know the person for the longest time. Tell your secret only to your family members or your loved ones.
Comments :
Simple plan and simple story - you can't get good marks based on this plan. I still don't know what your 'secret' is - so I cannot comment much on it.

2004 PAPER 1!
4.Flight
Holidays are coming up at a snap of the fingers. My family had planned a trip to Europe to encourage me to perform better for my upcoming 'O' level examination. For me, it's definitely a joy! Having the opportunity to visit an European country is a chance of a life time, especially when your family do not really travel.
We had planned to visit Holland, a nice country and a 4hours train ride from Paris. And by coincidence, my brother in law happened to live there. My family are using this chance to visit him too. It's been such a long time since we had seen him, and this will definately be a good chance to visit him.
The big day finally came. We were all excited about the trip there. This will be the first holiday my family going to spend together.
The long queue at the boarding area really freaks me out. Are all these people going to board the same plane as me? Can that 'tiny' plane out there fits in so many people? Questions kept bombarding into my mind like I've never taken a plane before. Thinking back, I've only being up a China plane, those planes which will really cramp you up like a pack of sardines. And i just hope this time round, it will not be as bad as then.
When i'm finally inside of the plane, it looked totally different from what i had expected. No, it's not as bad as the China airline, but it's really cool with 3 differrent rows of seats like what you have seen on television on those Hollywood movies. With big and comfortable seats and the softest pillow you had ever seen, what more you can ask for?
'Welcome aboard! Our destination will be to Amsterdam Airport. It will be a 13hours flight, so please enjoy your time here aboard by making yourself comfortable!' voice came out from the speaker at the top of my seats. As i'm seated in between my parents, i busy looking around. Not at hot guys but at the structure of the plane and all the plane attendant and air-stewarders. I'm totally amazed by the structures of the plane. As i'm quite near to te window, i get to see the wing of the plane. I actually saw how it moved and how it actually control the whole plane.
'We will be departing form Singapore in 10minutes time. Please remain at your seats and fasten up your seatbelts!
I kept thinking what we will be doing when we reach our destination. And being who I am, I've already planned what is the first thing i wanted to do when we land at the foreign airport! Even though i have no idea of how the place will look like, but i had already planned a nice dinner after we had touched down.
It's the longest journey that i ever had! iIt's not 2hours flight but a crazy 13hours flight.
Can you imagine how i had 'suffered' through the flight? And the worst part, no form of communication on the plane! When you had completely finish looking at every single thing on the plane, you have totally nothing to do. Other then eating sleeping,watching movie and talking. The movie which was screening was totally boring. Maybe it's beause i've watched it before.
Before you even realise it, you will fall asleep. And even before you know u had been sleeping, the plane had already touched down at the foreign airport.
And you will know that it will be the start of your fun Europe trip!
