To : The Kind Samaritan

17th February 2014

Dear Sir,

       I am Grace Wong who works as a timekeeper with the Singapore School Transport Association, was in charge of keeping track of bus arrival and departure times for foreign workers to and from their dorms.

        On 8 December 2013, at around 9pm, I told Mr Sakthivel Kumaravelu, 33, an Indian national construction worker, to get off a shuttle bus as it was already full. He staggered off the bus and moments after the bus moved off and made a left turn into Race Course Road, he was found pinned under one of its rear wheels.

           As a result, a sea of onlookers near the bus surged forward at the crushing sound of the accident. Within minutes, they began pelting stones, beer bottles and sticks at the vehicle's windscreen.

           I had suffered a bruised left eye, a fractured right hand, and cuts on my forehead, hands and legs. It could be worst if you had not pulled me out of the situation.

          If it wasn't for you, I would be killed by the rioters who are pelting rocks and throwing glass shards at me.

          I would like to thank you for saving me from the riots. 

Yours sincerely,


Grace Wong

       

Chong Boon Secondary School English Department Movie Review

Name: _Lim Bo Yu, Jeff__    (  17  )     Class: _1E1_________      Date: __5/2/14_________

Title of movie: 2012

Describe the most exciting/memorable part of the movie. Why do you like it? The most exciting part of the movie was when the actor, Jackson, picked up his family from his house to the airport. On the way to the airport, the buildings were falling apart, the highways and the roads were breaking apart and people were running and screaming for their lives.

If you could rewrite one part of the movie, which part would it be and why? How would you like to rewrite it? The actor, Gordon was crushed to death by the machine when he was trying to reach the arch.  He should not die as he helped the family to fly the plane to reach China to board the arch. I would rewrite the story that he was rescued from being crushed by machine.

List 3 new words that you have picked up from watching the movie. Knots – it refers to the speed of the plane. Yellow Stone – it refers to a mountain in a country side Conspiracy shelf – a place where they put all the books in different genres.

Draft 3: Introduction

Overcoming Struggles

When I was in Primary 6, I was under lots of stress. Since I did not do well in Primary 5, I was worried that I would not do well for my PSLE. I studied very hard since beginning of the year but things did not turn well as expected.  I was disappointed and discouraged by my mid year results.

Luckily, my parents, teachers and friends encouraged me and cheered me on. Once again, I put in greater effort and hard work.  I managed to pass my PSLE. This is the best things that happened to me.
