4 and 5 July English period

As there is only one period of English tomorrow, you may start your composition in class and either finish it at home or continue in class the next day. Do use the phrases in the spelling list.

The practice paper 5 can only be done after you have finished your composition. Remember to highlight key words to get points!

I'd be back on Friday. By then the compositions should be on my table . Those who hand in by Thursday will be rewarded with sticks.

Please kindly excuse any typing errors as I'm blogging on a moving and crowded bus!!

My thanks to those of you who attempt to answer the queries of your classmates, such as Katrice and Matthias. You will be rewarded when I'm back :)

Car Accident Model Composition 1

It looked as if a storm was approaching. I was standing at a cross-road traffic junction, waiting to cross the road. I have always observed that particular cross-road to be extremely busy, with vehicles constantly on the move. I was headed towards the bus stop across the street, so I turned in the opposite direction of the cross-road to see if my bus was coming.
As I turned back to have a look at the cross-road, I saw a flashy yellow sports car trying to beat the red light. Before I knew it, I heard a thunderous heart-stopping crash. The sports car had slammed head on into a green van right in the middle of the large intersection. Shattered windscreen glass was strewn all over the junction and the passers-by crowded round the scene. I saw one girl rushing to the telephone to report the accident.
For a minute or two, nothing happened. Then, a man got out of the green van. His van was completely smashed in on the side of the collision. He looked shaken and furious. He walked over to the yellow car only to find that the driver was unconscious. Some helpful people went to the middle of the road to help the unconscious man out of his car.
The police and the ambulance arrived at about the same time. They noted down the positions of the vehicles and began asking for witnesses to the accident. I volunteered to give some details since I had seen the whole thing. I did not have time to think about missing my bus.
