O levels in 1 days time!
Yea I am studying! So ain't writing any on blog for awhile... Today I have decided to place one essay I just did here! The question is:
One day you made a bad mistake which upset other people. Write about how you tried to put things right.
I don't know if it is going to be good or not... I hope it is worth an A1 though! I tried my best to answer the question and create a story based on it. It's a good preparation I suppose. Also, Paper 1 to me is the only section where I should be able to grasp all the marks. At the same time now, I am so excited for tomorrow's examination! I just can't wait. I have prepared for Chemistry a week back. Hope it pays off. I scored 86% in a recent paper I did on my own... I do hope it's better for O levels! Wish me luck :D . I feel the fire burning with anxiety... BURN BURN! Muahahaha! :D
So this is the essay:
I remembered getting ready early last Sunday. It was my birthday and I was too excited to sleep the night before. James, Max and I were going to enjoy a day at my house for a party, and I just could not wait. They arrived an hour later, with presents in their paper bags, making me smile uncontrollably. It was going to be a great day, as having fun with my friends is what makes me exuberant.
We were elated, playing games and chatting alike. I never had so much fun in my life. To top it all, we went for a swim, to cool down after the long day. However, James and Max left me alone during our game of “Water Hide and Seek”, as they were hiding behind a tree, laughing and playing together. I had no idea what they were doing. I felt crestfallen, to realise that they were leaving me out. We were playing “Water Hide and Seek”, not “Hide and Seek” in general. Therefore seeing them out of the pool and being together was a sight I bare not to watch. I felt isolated from what they did.
“Hey! Leon! Look here! We've got a -”
“Go away! I don't wish to see you two again!” I interupted. I was frustated by what they did to me; leaving me out on my birthday. With that, I got out of the pool and got ready to leave for home, wrapping my waist with my white towel. As I turned back, I saw that I had mistakened. James and Max did not play together behind the tree. They were actually planning to surprise me with a birthday cake. I felt embarassed as I scolded them for no reason at all. From where I stood, James and Max were upset, wondering what they wrong did. Immediately, not knowing what I did, I ran towards them. I just knew that I had to apologise to them, for misjudging them.
“I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shout... I thought you two were leaving me out... Please forgive me.” I said. I could not bare look them in the eye after scolding them. To my surpirse they looked at me and grinned. Max nodded, and I knew that I have been forgiven. It felt as if everything had returned back to normal as they brought the cake infront of me.
“Make a wish, my friend.” James smiled. I closed my eyes to do so. Clenching my hands together, I blew, to extinguish the flames on the sixteen candles atop the cake. Max clapped loudly and I laughed heartily. It was a moment I could not forget as not only have I enjoyed myself, I have also learned an important lesson; never to misjudge others till you understood and knew what they did.
BYE! :D
