Task(4):

People only look at the surface and they determine that it is true.Please,do not judge a book by its cover.I am just a normal marker found in every teacher's pencil case.But,I don't lead a happy life as most of you think.I will now tell you about my life and it is absolutely true.

Well,most of you think that my job is simply writing on the whiteboard.Do you know that I have to bear with the teacher's temper at times.When she is happy,nothing will happen to me.When she feels moody,she will flare her temper at me sometimes.Throwing me on the floor,or even using me as a weapon to throw at her students.That hurts!You will never imagine how disgusting it is to be in a teacher dirty pencil case.I wonder when was the last time she change her pencil case.I still have to squeeze in with all the other stationary.Sometimes,she even lose my cap and of course my ink will run out fast.I detest the moment whenever my ink runs out fast.The teacher would use all sort of ways just to have a little more ink out of me.She would use me to write on different kind of surfaces,shaking me vigourously.The worse is burning the tip of me with fire so to get that little ink out of me.When i am out of ink,can't they just let me rest in peace.I don't think they have to torture me like this right.

When there is only me,teachers would cherish me.Whenever they are a few more markers,they would forget about me.They would just leave me fending for myself alone in the classroom.My one and only hope is that i will be retrived by a nicer person.

p.s:no offence to teachers,this is just another compo :P
Task (3):Confessions of a chef

Chillies,lettuce,cucumber and pickles are all I have to face daily.Meat,fishes,vegetables too.That is not all,the worse is scolding,screaming and ranting from my boss.

Currently,I don't know is this what I really want.The head chef would scold me even for the simplest reason.He have to understand that we do not not have enough helpers in the kitchen.So,there is a little time constraint.He always rushes us to cook the food quicky.If there is not enough ingredients,he will just ask us to cook without replenishing it.I believe real ingedients is what that will pull our customers back to our restaurant.In additon,the customers would also have a good impression of our restaurant.I think all he thinks about is having money and making profit.

Since young I had a passion for cooking.Cooking is not barely cooking with your hands,but with your heart.Cooking also goes along with your mood.If you have a foul mood,the food you cook will never turn out great.Vice versa,if you have a good mood that day,the food you cook will turn out great.

Sometimes i really run out of idea when he pressures us to think of a menu or new dishes.I guess just have to bear with him.However,what matters most is the customers honest feedback.A compliment can spur me on.Critics make me feel bad.There was this man who criticise my dishes.I must admit that I was bothered by it.I was utterly disappointed with myself.Thinking back of it, I am glad he did so.It gave me a chance to improve for the better and prove my worth.

My dishes are not purely for eating and enjoyment.It serves for other purposes too.It cheered my friend up,a man proposed to his girlfriend with it and of course with a ring.It holds significant meaning to me as it reminded me of my mum.
Task (2):

a)The girls were excited as they waited for the results

Whispers and giggles was what could be heard across the conference hall.The girls clutch each other hands.They were discussing about what they would benefit if they obtained Gold award.The girls glanced at the clock on the corner of the wall every now and then.They looked around to find the man in suit as he will be announcing the result.He was nowhere in sight.Finally,the moment has arrived.There was silence and the man walked to the stage.


e)She sat heart-broken on her bed.

Tears flowed down her red rosy cheek profusely.Jane's checkered bedsheet was soaked with her tears.She could not believe the devastating truth.The truth that Tom was gone,she not only lost a dog.She lost a companion,a playmate,someone to share her joy and sorrow.He was gone just like that.She once again looked at the photo of Tom and her that she was clutching in her hand.That was when Tom was only one years old,the both of them looked so happy in the photo.She vowed that she will never ever forget Tom and the beautiful memories they had will be deeply etched in her heart.

Task (1):Trained hard,backed out from competition.

John grew up in the love of basketball.Basketball was his life,his everything.Every single match,competiton meant a lot to him.His dream was to excel in the tournament held annually.

John put basketball ahead of everything,but still continue to do exceptionally well for his studies.John really balances his time well.He never fails to attend the trainings weekly.His trainings are never easy.He had to run rounds after rounds around his school,followed by various forms of excercises.At the most he was only given a five minute break.John's entire face would be wet with pesperation.His jerseys would be soaked in sweat.This is his usual fatigue look after each training.Nevertheless,no one has ever heard his complaints.He never gives up.That lead him to be the captain of his team.He was a good role model for his team mates.As the tournament is round the corner,his trainings got tougher and tougher each time.This was when his mother health detoriated.She always loses her appetite and seldom eats.She had no energy to walk.She fainted several times when she was alone at home.This was when she was admitted to hospital.It was a huge blow to John.There was suddenly no one to take care of all his needs,he had to be independent.Instead he was needed to take care of his mother as his father is busy at work till night falls.

He felt lost as it was a tough choice.Taking care of his mother means having to sacrifice his training time.Furthermore,the tournament is just a few days away.He hesitated and pondered for a long time before deciding to back out from the tournament.He knew it deep inside his heart that all his efforts would be wasted.But,its after all a tournament,he still have a chance to participate next year if he try again.He only have a mother,so he feels that he made the right choice.He bared his choice to his coach and fellow teammates.Despite his teammates encouraging him to take part in the competition,he is still persistent about his choice.His place was replaced by his best friend,Gary.Gary promised him that he would win the match for him.Indeed,Gary did keep his promise.
