Arriving at school one morning , I found my school friends crowding around a strange object embedded in a large hole in the school field . Suddenly , the door of the strange object slid open . It was a very big tunnel . Everybody stepped back as they were scared . I was very curious so I stood there and look into the tunnel . The tunnel seems to be very deep . Suddenly , someone called me from the back . I turned to the back and found out it was my friend , Victoria . Then , the school bell rang .

Everybody started moving towards their classrooms . Victoria was running towards me . Suddenly , she tripped onto something and fell forward . She held onto me so that she will not fall but I also lost my balance and fell into the tunnel . The bottom of the tunnel was soft so I was not injured . From the bottom of the tunnel , I could hear Victoria's shouting for help outside the tunnel . After a few minutes , no sound could be heard . I started to get anxious as I was scared that Victoria would leave me here and ran away .

Cold sweat started to trickle down my spine . Out of a sudden , there was a lot of noise outside . I was saturated with happiness . Then , a rope was dropped into the tunnel . someone said " Grabbed onto this rope . Once you are ready , we will pull you out . " I quickly grabbed onto the rope and told them i was ready . Few minutes later , I was out of the deep tunnel . Many teachers was standing around me and caring about me . Victoria came and hugged me when she saw me . Out of curiosity , I asked the teachers what is the tunnel for but none of them reply to my question and all of them told me not to think of it anymore . Since then , the mystery of that tunnel never escaped my mind .

Composition 7

Smoking


" The movie starts at 8. It is already 7.55and you are still walking so slowly if you do not wish to watch the movie with me, you can leave." I told my boyfriend, Edward. Edward told me " I am sorry. I will not do it the next time. Please forgive me." I took out cigarette and started to smoke. Edward told me to stop smoking as it is not good for health but I continued smoking. I have been smoking for the last 5 years.


During the movie, I keep coughing. I drank lots of water but it was useless. After the movie has ended, Edward and I walked out of the movie theater. Suddenly, I felt very dizzy. Edward was talking to me but I could only hear mumbling sound. Then, I could hear nothing. When I opened my eyes, I realised I was lying on a bed. I saw my family and Edward standing beside me.


" Are you okay? Feeling better now?" My mother asked me. " What happened?" I asked. My mother told me I have been diagnosed with lung cancer due to large amount of smoking. After I heard the news, I was very shocked. I asked if it could be cured. They said it could be cured if I take my medicine on time and do the therapy but it requires a lot of time.


During that period of time, my parents spend a lot of time coming to the hospital to take care of me. But my disease did not seem to get better. The doctor said my disease have gone worse I only left with one year to live. After hearing this, I started to regret why I started smoking.

Composition 4

Write about your favourite dish and explain how you would prepare it


When I was young , every time I went to the restaurant , I would order Fish and Chips . It consists of battered fish fillet and fries . Fish and Chips is nice as the fish is boneless and crispy . Although there are other western food such as chicken chop , lamb chop , chicken cutlet , steak and many others but I still like Fish and Chips the most . From young until now , I have went to a lot of western restaurant but I like the Fish and Chips from Ang Mo Kio's Jacks' Place the most as the fish is extremely crispy and they have crinkle-cut fries. That's why I like the Fish and Chips there . But they will be close for some days in the week .


Once , I remembered , craving for the Fish and Chips from there but they were closed that day . I do not want the Fish and Chips from other places so I decided to cook it myself . I went online to search for the recipe and ingredients needed . I need 4 cups of vegetable oil for frying , One fresh fillet , one egg , beaten with dash of salt , half cup of dry bread crumps and a potato . In a large skillet , I heated the oil . Then , I dipped the fillet into beaten egg and dredge in bread crumps . I gently slide the fish into hot oil and fried until golden brown . Finally , I drained the fillet briefly on paper towels . For the fries , I peeled and cut the potato in even strips . Then , soaked in cold water for 1 hour . After that , I fried it in deep fat oil for 5 minutes . After 5 minutes , i increased the heat and fried until french fries are tender and nicely browned . Then , I sprinkled generously with salt and tossed the fries to mix salt evenly .


Finally , I have done cooking the Fish and Chips . I tasted it myself . I think that it was delicious . The fillet was crispy and the fries was tender and tasty . I kept some for my parents to taste when they come back home . When they tasted it , they said it was delicious and wanted me to cook it for dinner next time . I was saturated with happiness when they said that .
