Sample 2
1 It was a late Saturday night. The sky was empty; except for the big yellow moon which hung brightly in the sky. I lay on my table, eyes half-open. A homework book lay open beside me, and upon seeing the book, I sighed to myself and decided to do the homework another day.
2 I decided to listen to the radio to relax. I tuned in to 950 and listened to the soothing music. Suddenly, I heard a voice coming on the radio and said in a very anxious and frightened voice, “Sorry for interrupting the program. We have a very important message to broadcast…” I perked up my ears. What could be so important at so late at the night? “…there is a murderer on-loose! He is known to have killed many people. Please shut all doors and windows and stay indoors!”
3 The soothing music continued to play, but even that could not calm my multi-feelings. “What if…” A million thoughts rushed through my mind. My peaceful mood was ruined by the frightening warning.
4 Scared and helpless at the same time, I decided to go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow I would forget about this murderer. But I found out that I could not sleep. The words of the broadcaster kept ringing in my head. I sighed and forced myself to close my eyes and fall asleep ……
5 The next day, despite having gone to sleep late last night, I woke up surprisingly early. There were only little traces of the warning last night still left in my head.
6 When I went downstairs to buy breakfast, I saw someone giving out flyers. Curious, I went and took a piece of the flyer and the sight made me shudder. It was the murderer! It said: “Wanted! Dangerous murderer in this vicinity. If seen, please inform the police immediately at 999.” There was also a picture of the man attached with the flyer. The man was probably in his forties, I thought as I looked at the picture. He had a moustache and looked very fierce. I stared at the notice, dumbfounded.
7 As I was queuing up to buy my favourite toast bread, I saw someone which looked very familiar, liked I had seen him somewhere before. Then, a thought struck my mind. It was the murderer! I took a quick glance at the flyer again and I made my conclusion. It was him!
8 I was rooted to the spot. What should I do? I thought. Two voices rang in my head at the same time. One was telling me to call the police immediately while the other one was telling me that I had mistaken the man for the murderer.
9 I decided to call the police. Picking up my mobile phone, I dialed 999. Within minutes, I heard sirens ringing and I shot the “murderer” another glance. I saw his expression changing and he was about to leave without finishing his breakfast. However, he could not trick the police. The squad of policemen rushed towards him and handcuffed him.
10 Everyone was curious and started crowding to see what happened and I saw many shocked faces when they saw the murderer. Not wanting myself to be discovered, I exited the coffee shop without buying my breakfast.
11 Although my tummy was still rumbling angrily as I was very hungry, I smiled to myself as I knew that I had done a good deed. (569)
