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 .

Composition 1

Describe how you and your family spend a Saturday , now that all schools are enjoying a five - day week .


A golden glow spread across the sky as the sun chased the clouds away . It was a Saturday afternoon , my family and I were planning the activities we were going to do next. Then , my pet dog , Coco came into the living room . Finally , we decided to take Coco to the park .

When we reached the park , Coco was jumping around excitedly . We found a place to settle down and had our lunch . We had a enjoyable time eating our lunch and chatting together . After resting for 15 minutes , my sister and I brought Coco for a walk around the park . It was such a long walk which made Coco down so much water after it .

After the walk , my sister and I decided to rent two bicycles to cycle in the park . While we were cycling , we also chat about what happened in school and many other stuffs. We did not realise that we had already cycled for 30 minutes so we decided to head back to find our parents . When we were reaching , Coco saw us and wagged her tail vigorously which made me very happy .

After all the activities in the park , we brought Coco back home before heading out for dinner as pets were not allowed in shopping centres . We went to the nearest shopping centre around the neighbourhood . My father decided on Jacks' Place . Although the waiting time was long , we had a happy time chatting while waiting . Finally , the food was served . The food was delicious and we had a sumptuous meal .

After i reached home , my whole body ached in protest . I quickly took my bath and went to bed right after I dried my hair . I think when schools are enjoying a five-day week , we can have more time to spend with our family unlike last time when schools are having a six-day week which we have to go to school on Saturday .
