Getting Sick After Overnight Stay

28 May 2020 Tim went to his cousin's home last Saturday. The boys had a whale of time of playing video games so they burnt the midnight oil. Next day, bad luck approached silently. Tim had a sore throat and a fever . He was sweating rapidly and lying in his bed all day. It was the rehearsal for the drama on Monday, so he bit the bullet and went to the school. At the rehearsal, Tim was wearing a mask and had a hoarse voice. Also he had a few cough during the rehearsal. The teacher was dissatisfied with Tim so he asked Tim to go to the corridor beside of the hall. Tim was nervous about what's going to happen. The teacher said in a voice like a furious lion "You have ruined the rehearsal!" Tim told him about what happened at Sunday. Tim was feeling so upset that tears started flooding his eyes as he hung his head low and walked away from the teacher. The teacher shouted at his back "Take a good rest at home. I will find a back-up for you." He nodded in

A visit to the Dental therapist

24 May 2020 Last Monday, my mother took me to the School Dental Clinic for my dental check up and teeth scaling. I was terrified. Worst of all I did not have a good sleep the whole night through. At ten o'clock, we arrived at the clinic just in time . Then, we registered at the counter. The staff told me to sit in the waiting zone. Later, the announcement system called my name and told me to go into the first room. When I saw the dental therapist, a sense of horror crept up to my face. I was ushered to the dental therapist's chair. Normally I would run away from the frightening surgery with all its horrible drills and pliers, but I did not. I had to get the check up and teeth scaling. So I sat down on the reclining chair while the dental therapist kept saying some reassuring words. I relaxed somewhat. She asked me to open my mouth. I did so. She started to check up my teeth. After a few minutes, the dental therapist started to scaling the teeth, I felt that the water

Stopping a Fight

19 May 2020 "How dare you!" hollered Jack as he clenched his fist and punched Ken on his cheek, causing him to stagger backwards from the impact. I watched in horror when I saw the look of surprise on Ken's face morph into a furious glare. He was undaunted by Ben's actions. Retaliating with a punch of his own, he hit Ben squarely on his eye. Immediately, Ben covered his eye and bent over in pain. Dissatisfied with the result, Ken raised his right foot and kicked Ben's stomach with all his might. Reflexively, I stepped between both of them and tried to push Ken away. However, he was too strong for me. Shoving me aside, he advanced towards Ben and raised his fist in front of his face, threatening to hit him again. Without hesitation, I helped Ben to his feet and tried to drag him away but Ben was not to be defeated by someone who was smaller-sized than he was. Ignoring me, he lunged at Ken, engaging him. Both of them were my best friends. I had to stop the fight

Caught in a storm

15 May 2020 Black clouds gathered above us, but we were too intent on going to fishing. We hoped that the clouds would go away so that we could continue fishing. Our hopes were dashed when suddenly heavy rain began to pour. In a few seconds we were all soaked to the skin. To make matters worst, lightning flashed dangerously close to us. The deafening thunder and howling wind did not help either. We ran towards a large tree under which we had parked our bicycles. The tree provided some shelter from the rain and we were tempted to remain under it. However we knew that it was dangerous to stay under a tree during a thunderstorm. So we got on our bicycles and pedalled off. There was no other shelter available nearby. So I, for one, decided to go home. Since I was already completely wet, I might was well to go home instead to seeking shelter. On the way back home, the driving rain made cycling difficult as I could not see more that a couple of metres in front of me. Accidentally,

A trip to Ocean Park

12 May 2020 "Faster, faster. " I mumbled. I could not keep my mouth shut as excitement rush through my veins.  My parents were bringing me on a trip to Ocean Park! The journey there seemed to take ages. Ultimately, we arrived at our destination. After a short time, we reached the cable car tower. Enthusiastically, we got into an empty cable car. The view out of the cable car of the arrays of mountains protruding into the South China Sea was second to none. It was spectacular! The ships were like tiny dots sailing in the deep blue sea and the people looked like tiny little ants from high above. After that, we went to the crazy gallon. When I saw this ship, my legs trembled and said "Nooooooo! " But driven by curiosity, I got aboard the ship. "This is the most horrible game I have ever had!" I whined on board. Then, we set off to the bumper blaster. The most I desired to play it in the Ocean Park. I played it with my father several times because it

Learning to cycle

9 May 2020 On a beautiful morning, the sky was brilliant blue and the leaves rustled in the gentle breeze. The fresh morning air was crisp and cool. My father was going to teach me how to cycle today, so I was like a dog with two tails. I tentatively placed my legs on the pedal as my father held my bicycle firmly at the back seat. Slowly, I pedalled down the pavement. After my father let go of the bicycle, I couldn't say boo to a goose, so the bicycle was acting like a tumbler. "Oh my...Crash! " l fell off from the bicycle and my knee got hurt. Fortunately, I was not badly injured. At that moment, I was feeling so upset that tears started flooding my eyes and I hung my head low. My father come to me and said, " Don't be dejected ." My mood was getting better because his words woke me up. Then my father hold up the bicycle. I took a deep breath and rode on the bicycle again. After trying to keep the bicycle balance a hundred times, l finally could contro

Going to the Wetland Park with my parents

4 May 2020 I have always liked birds, since the day I heard of those fantastic creatures that could soar through the skies. Normally, I can only see most of them in books and on television, or the ordinary ones flying around Hong Kong. Last Sunday,  I eventually had the chance to see many different species of birds. I was thrilled when my parents told me that they were taking me to the Wetland Park! After a short Light Rail Ride, we arrived at the gates of the Wetland Park. My parents and I took a photo near the Eco-maze. It was not long before I saw the tall wooden building. It was the birds hide. We walked into the building. When I looked through the telescope, I could take a closer look to all sort of birds. From richly coloured kingfisher staying near the water surface to snow white egret preying in the water, the sight of these magnificent creatures had me racing up and down the park. We finished the lunch. Then my father suggested us to go to the Mangrove Boardwalk which i

My First Attempt at Cooking

1 May 2020 Last Sunday was my mother's birthday.  Because of the covid-19, we couldn't go out for dinner. My father and I decided to prepare a surprise dinner for my mother. We want to cook a meal that made my mother drool with envy. At afternoon, when my mother was out with her friends, we prepared the ingredients. A wonderful dinner cannot miss the desert, so I made the pudding and put it in the refrigerator. Next, I started to make the main dish, I put some "emian" and water in the pot and lit the fire. Then, I took out a king lobster and some shrimps from the refrigerator. I washed the lobster and shrimps. When everything was ready, I put the pan on the stove and started to fire the lobster "emian" . While I was busy as a bee for handling my lobster, my father was in charge of borscht and a piece of steak. We were exhausted after cooking a big meal so we took a rest in the living room. We fell asleep consciously. Suddenly, I smelt something burning

My best friend

27 April 2020 When I was being scolded by a prefect at recess,a boy with black skin and short hair stood up and said for me. "I can prove he doesn't run! " he said to  the prefect so that the prefect had to release me. When I turned around and wanted to say "thank you" to him, he disappeared. I yearned to see the boy again but did not even know his name nor how to get in touch with him.However, we were destined to meet again. The following Friday, I was playing games at recess when I caught sight of a familiar figure. I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look. Shocked, I  could not move an inch. It was the boy who had helped me! I seized the opportunity and invited him for a snack. From then onwards, we became good friends. The strange encounter which brought Remi and me together took place 3 years ago. During this time, I have come to know him intimately. He is an outstanding student in studies but also in Art. He is an Art freak which drawing and pain

A pulley accident

26 April 2020 I put on the safety halmet  that I need to  jump into the pulley perching on the top of the curvy slope. I had been queueing for a long time and I was very anxious to get started. I nodded at the instructor who was going to tell me how to control the pulley. It was the first time I had seen a real one but I was sure that l already knew everything."blah...blah... blah... blah..." Annoyed, I didn't  listen to the instructor. When the instructor said "Then, let's go! "  Zoooooom! I went. The pulley was off in a flash. The pulley zoomed ahead so fast that my heart was in my mouth. I was moving my center of gravity to control the pulley. It was too late by the time I noticed that the turn in front. I did my best to turn the pulley. I closed my eyes tried not to see the bloody scene that may happen. When I opened my eyes, I was safe! I did it! I did it! I shrieked excitedly and waved my hands to my mother. I relieved the brake. Then, a bad luck

The boat race

25 April 2020 Asmos stood between six other boys. He gripped the remote control in his hands. There were seven different boats in the water in front of them. The race was about to start. It was the first time the school had held a remote-controlled boat race. Soon, a whistle was blown. He pressed the green button on his control as hard as he could. His boat shot foward. The other six boats followed closely. They sped down on the water and screeched around the first bend. The spectators cheered. The boats sped arcoss the water. The war was about to start. At first, one boat overturned at a sharp turn, then a boat crashed into it. Asmos was a good driver. He turned his boat smoothly around the bend and used his powerful motor to splash the water on the other three boats. His boat and the last boat sped towards the finishing line. Asmos's hands were wet with sweat. He was both excited and nervous, his heart said to him "lt's not the time to be happy." He listened

A Terrible Accident

24 April 2020 "Oh no! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! Linda cried,  jumping out of the bed. She had somehow slept through her alarm once more. Linda quickly threw on her clothes, brushed her teeth and ate her breakfast. Then she ran out the door to try and catch the school bus. She was too late. She saw it already driving away down the road. She had no choice but to walk to the train station to take the train. She was waiting for the train while a man rushed towards the platform. He tripped and fell onto the track. The train screeched to stop, but unfortunately it still rolled over the man. Watching this bloodly scene, she was stunned and couldn't move an inch. At that moment, a voice boomed out over the public announcement system. It said "All passengers needed to take a different route to wherever they were going." Linda was very late by the time she got to school. Strangely enough, she didn't get booked because the teachers knew of the accide

Bullying at School

17 April 2020 "Ouch! It really hurts!" shouted the little boy. When I heard this at recess, I looked at the bully. I found that he is Anson Li, the biggest bully in the school. At first, I was passionate and about to rescue the boy. In my head, the angel and devil started to quarrel. The angel said "Help him, he is a pity boy", the devil then started to fight back"Freaking, don't help him, you will get into trouble. " The angel said" Teach Anson Li a lesson! " The angel ruled my soul. At that moment, while Anson was going to punch the little boy's head with all his might, I rushed toward the boy and pushed him. I crossed my arm to withstand this punch, I won and he sneered. He did a "come out" gesture. His partners all came out. First, he got the upper hand. At this moment, you would probably ask why did you win? I would say "I win luckily because a kind student saw it and told the teachers. The teachers came as fast as
