The Dark Night

 

"Oh great!" Guess I am trap for the night. The car is gone, what other solutions could appear better then search for help. The road seems darker then usual and it seems impossible to find help from anyone. This place probably has no one stepping foot for years.

 

"Ah found it!" Luck seems to be on my side for the day at least. I knock on the door of an old house, wishing someone would give an answer to my help as quick as possible. The door opened, i saw a man standing and wore a hat, his face was covered by a scarf. I could not see his face properly, but i heard through his soft tone: "come in!"

 

I went in with a smile in return, not daring to ask any question why is he covering his face. I sat down in the house's main room. I was serve gently with tea. I gathered away my shyness for the first time and decided to take a gup of tea before asking for help. However when i was abouut to have my tea, I saw the men taking off his scarf I saw his reflection in the surface of the cup of tea.

 

I was shock, he has four eyes and his face was just like an egg without any mouth of nose. "Ah help!"

You try too hard, like many of your friends. Your story doesn't flow well - too many questions asked when the reader reads your story. If you don't mind, I would like to use your story to share with the class my feelings.

Nov2004: Qn2. Write about an occasion when a furious argument took place, based on a case of mistaken identity.

 

 

This occasion was never a particular memorable one especially not to me as. It begins in a usual school week as I could remember, i was going on my way home when school was over. When i reach the bus-stop that brings me back home. I waited there for the bus, it took me longer than usual for the time to wait.

 

When the bus came to my view I felt desperately relieve as it seems ages for me to wait for the bus. I sat foot finally on the bus where I paid my bus fee, although I need to stand without a seat in the bus as it was crowded with its carried passengers still felt very relieve as I could finally go home and have my rest after a very long day. This was when where the furious argument took place between me and another passenger which will soon come in view.

 

The bus soon reach the next bus-stop, a man of age probably fourty entered the bus panting to catch his breathe pehaps due to the reason that he must have ran quite some distance to reach the bus-stop so as to catch this bus from the previous bus stop. The man who entered seems to be staring at me for a long while when he suddenly couldn't control himself when he said :" you! " Everyone looked at us suddenly and without having any time for any reaction, the man push me down and shouted: "its you that push me down just now in the previous bus-stop!" Without waiting for my chance to spoke, I was push down by a slam in a next moment. This time i mange to get my grip and stand up without being slam down again. I gave a loud shout and both of us landed in a shouting match. Fortunately there was some school mates in the bus who knew me in school, who held me back. These action indeed had save me from tarnishing the name of my school.

 

When the bus stops in the next bus-stop, my school mates and me together left the bus without a moment of thoughts. When we were down, they said: "what were you doing you could have get yourself expelled just for them. I felt awkward, but I manage to return them a thanks of remorse for saving me from the depths of getting our school name down and trouble.

    Jing Si:Hi... I think that you should really go through your writing after writing it. Your sentence structures are terrible. Just by reading the first paragraph, numerous errors can be found. I really think that you should ask Mr Tan for help. Do not stick to the way you study now. It dosen't help. No offence. Just a piece of advice that might just help you in not just English but other subjects.
    Saradha:Try using simple sentences because your sentence stucture is pretty weak. If you need help i suggest you approach mr. tan. Try reading more books.
    adriel chua:the way you use phrases are weird
