A day at the beach

Hi Girls,

Do you remember the composition you wrote on water safety?

Here's one written by one of your classmates.



"Wow Sue! Your sandcastles are so nicely built!", said Andrew.

"Thank you!" replied Sue. Sue and Andrew used buckets and spades to build the sandcastles. Jerry was dribbling his blue and white beachball while Jim went to the washroom.

Five minutes later, Jim came back from the washroom. Jerry went to take a break and he left his beach ball on the sand. Jerry's blue and white beach ball rolled into the sae without him realising it. Jim saw the beach ball floating in the sea and tried to retrieve it.

Jim was a poor swimmer. To make matters worse, there was a high tide then. The strong current swept him away. By the time Jerry realised that his ball was missing, it was floating in the sea. Jim tried to retrieve the ball and was far from shore.

A few seconds later, Jerry saw Jim struggling and shouting, "Help! Help!". Jerry immediately dived into the sea to rescue Jim.

Jerry quickly dived into the sea. He managed to rescue Jim. He pulled Jim out if the sea and performed CPR on Jerry. When Jim regained consciousness, he felt grateful and thanked Jerry. Jim went to take a rest.

Water Safety - Composition

Hi girls,

Do you remember the composition you wrote about water safety? Did you enjoy the role play you had before writing the composition? I have picked out a good composition from our class. What do you think? Are you able to spot a couple of good phrases used?

Here it is.



"Alright boys, you have practised well today. Let's call it a day and we shall meet again tomorrow. As the competition is coming soon, go home and rest well." said the soccer coach before he dismissed the boys. John took his soccer ball and left the field.

On his way home, John dribbled his ball merrily along a canal. Suddenly, he tripped over a stone and fell. The ball rolled into the canal. As it was his favourite soccer ball, John desperately tried to get the ball back. He leaned over the railings and tried to retrieve the ball. At that moment, he accidentally fell into the canal.

John cried out in fright. He really hoped that a passer-by would come to his rescue. Fortunately at that moment, someone walked past the canal and heard John's cries for help. Without any second thoughts, the passer-by quickly jumped into the canal to save John. He swiftly swam towards John and saved him.

It was indeed a wonder that John was rescued in such a deep canal. However, John could not retrieve his soccer ball. Nonetheless, it was a good lesson learnt for John that day. He vowed never to commit the same mistake again.

I have 3 questions for you to think about.
(1) pick out 2 good words / phrases
(2) pick out a good idea / portion from the above composition that you think can improve the composition you wrote
(3)change the ending of this composition (last paragraph)
