Sample 22
1 I would never forget this night all the days of my life.
2 It was a silent night. I was alone in the house as my parents has went overseas. I was half-asleep and half-awake, lying on the sofa with the radio switched on, babbling on and on. I was to listen to the radio for important news as what my teacher has instructed me. Funnily, the more the radio was babbling about news, the more I wanted to sleep. When I was almost asleep, a voice suddenly blared into my ear, “A BOMB CONTAINING CHEMICAL THREAT SUBSTANCES HAS JUST BEEN ACTIVATED IN CHANGI AIRPORT…” I was completely shaken out of my sleep now.
3 Why did the words “Changi Airport” sound so familiar to me? Suddenly, a thought glimmered in my brain. Oh yes, my aunt is leaving Singapore today for America! I immediately threw away the blanket on myself and went to get my car. As I drive to Changi Airport, I thought about my aunt. My aunt has been very good to me since young and now she might be in trouble! A bone-chilling fear through my spine, what if she is already in trouble? A vague picture formed in my mind with my aunt lying faint on the floor, not moving even a muscle. All this thoughts drove me to drive faster to Changi Airport.
4 After 20 minutes of fear and doubt, I finally reached Changi Airport. The whole building seems deserted. What? The rescue team has already given up? I grabbed my handkerchief out of my pocket, wet it, put it over my nose and mouth and began running to the building like a mad man. At last, I saw some firemen trying to calm the situation down. No matter how the firemen tried to stop me, I did not care about them and ran inside the building. All that matters now is my aunt, my most beloved aunt!
5 When I entered the building, the poisonous smoke enveloped me. I frantically did a quick scan and spotted my aunt in a corner. I pointed to my aunt at once and signaled to the group of firemen following me. The firemen immediately understood me and rushed to my aunt. I followed on quickly. At that point of time, I was beginning to suffocate. While running out of the building with the firemen, I suddenly blacked out…
6 When I woke up, all I saw was an anxious-looking group of firemen staring at me. They all started to bombard me with questions like are you alright, how are you feeling now…but the only answer that came up out of my mouth was a question spoken softly for I had no strength anymore and was feeling weak. The question is, “How is my aunt, is she alright? I am going to look for her.” All the firemen immediately told me not to over-exert my body and told me to rest instead. A stubborn answer came out of my mouth saying “I DON”T CARE!!!” Suddenly, I heard a voice, “SURPRISE!” I saw a beautiful-looking lady emerging from the firemen crowding around me.
7 I could not believe my eyes! It was my aunt, safe and unharmed! The next day, the whole newspaper was all talking about me. I was awarded a medal for my bravery. However, my biggest gain is that my aunt was not harmed or injured in any way! The next day, I returned to my junior college school. I was the talk of the town for the whole day. Lots of people asked me about the incident. I was so tired of telling people the same thing that I ended up writing the incident out and showed to the people who asked me. (623)
