It was her first day at work and she was already late. She was glad that one of the lifts was an express lift that would bypass all the floors between the fifth and the twentieth. It would allow her to reach the office in a much faster time. When the lift doors finally opened, Eleanor stepped in and hastily pressed the button for the twenty-fourth floor. She tapped her foot impatiently as the doors were closing. The lift began to rise. After it passed through the fifth floor, there was a thunderous clanging of sound of metal before the lift came to an abrupt halt. Eleanor’s eyes widened in fright. She pressed the yellow alarm button furiously. Immediately, a shrill ring penetrated the silence. Eleanor was certain that someone in the building would hear her. Before long, she heard the faint sounds of voices and the banging of the doors. People had heard the alarm! She would be saved! Eleanor began shouting and banging on the doors to tell them that she was trapped in the lift. However, she soon realised that being in the express lift meant that there were no means of escape for her until the twentieth floor. Her legs felt like jelly and a tingling sensation ran down her spine as she fell to the floor, uncertain if she would even get out alive. However, just when she thought that her situation was hopeless, the lift gave a jerk and shot upwards. Eleanor slid across the floor and she had to grip the floor to prevent herself from being thrown about. The ascent was so violent and rapid that she thought the lift was not going to stop until it shot through the roof or the building. However, a few seconds later, it thundered to a stop on the twenty-third floor. The doors slid open and a group of people from the lift maintenance crew to office staff stared at her with concern. Getting to her feet, Eleanor stumbled out of the lift. Eleanor straightened her clothes and hair. She tried to regain her composure but her hands were still trembling and she had broken out in a cold sweat. Smiling weakly at everyone and nodding at them, she assured them that she was all right. Then, she made her way to her office on the twenty-fourth floor. This time she took the stairs. Fire 1. Snarling with fright 2. Whole body impelled by shock & fear 3. Extinguished with a quick swoosh 4. Soon, panic gave way to fear as the flame turned into an angry fire, devouring hungrily, turning all into ashes almost instantaneously 5. The blazing fire darkened the sky 6. It scared her out of her wits 7. Terror coarsed through my throat and it felt dry 8. Fiery flames raged on furiously with vengeance 9. Sniffed the air 10.Whiff of the smell 11.Dull grey smoke rushed into ______ 12.Raging Fire 13.When I stumbled out of the house, i was still clad in my ______ and i yelled hystrically for help. 14.Acrid smell 15.Engulfed in flames 16.Wisps of smoke 17.Intransigent flames refused to give in to the water 18.Thick,blinding smoke enveloped the room 19.Burst into flames 20.Fiery tongues of fire 21.Heat of the fire seared through _______ 22.The furniture was charred thoroughly 23.Coughed violently 24. Soon, the heat of the fire was getting too much to bear. The smoke in the room was so thick that he could hardly breathe. The more he tried, the harder he found it. He felt his lungs burn w/ every breath he too & nomatter how har he tried, he could not seem to get enough air. He had begun tearing and shouted for help desperately. The last thing he heard before losing consciousness was the siren of the fire engine. The firefighters checked the door and then quickly opened it. In the thick, blinding smoke, he could see a young boy lying in a corner. The firefighters felt a jolt of terror coarse through them. They hoped they were not too late. They approached the boy in 3 strides and realised to their relief that the boy was still breathing, but barely. One of them heaved the young boy on his shoulders and quickly made his way out of the burning house while the rest continued to put out the fire. Fight ~6A pupils should be VERY FAMILIAR with this^^ They hurled insults at each other. Everyone was shocked at the string of abusive words used by them but no one dared to intervene. Everyone gasped when Ah Seng struck a blow at Ah Hock. He dropped to his knees with a thud. Mr Ho could not bear to watch any longer. He confronted Ah Seng and,like David facing Goliath, confronted Ah Seng. He caught hold of Ah Seng's collar and shoved him a step back. Shocked by Mr Ho's swift actions, Ah Seng delivered a punch on Mr Ho's stomach. He darted and missed it. By this time, a few men had already encircled Ah Seng & together, they banded to pin him dome. Some held his limbs while others sat on his struggling body. All on-lookers heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the wailing of sirens. The policemen handcuffed Ah Seng & the paramedics took Ah Hock to the ambulance. The onlookers praised Mr Ho for his brave act. His children were proud and delighte of their newly-crowned hero. Drowning 1. Her arms were flailing wildly in the air 2. Overwhelmed by pain, she sank below the surface of water 3. She was barely breathing. Her breaths were shallow & laboured 4. She thrashed about in the water 5. He tore across the burning hot sand and plunged right into the water 6. He swam with powerful strokes towards the head that was bobbing up and down. It was much more difficult than he expected as he was swimming against the current 7. He lifted her head above water and headed for the shore 8. He pumped rhythmically on her chest. She bagan to cough violently and water started spluttering out from her mouth After an accident Within minutes of the (situation: robbery/burglary,etc), the police arrived and cordoned of the (place).Police dogs prowled at the nooks and crannies of the (place),trying to sniff out the (person who did the crime:robber,burglar,etc). The police interviewed me and took down details of the (situation:robbery,burglary,etc) and the (person:robber,burglar,etc). They thanked me for being observant Pick Pocket! With two crisps ten-dollar notes in my hand, I waited patiently to buy the tickets to a movie. The long queue snaked forward. As I waited for my turn, I spotted a boy slowly removing a wallet from the back pocket of the man in front of him. The pickpocket turned, narrowed his eyes and looked in my direction. I pretended not to notice him. When it was the man’s turn to buy the tickets, he realised that his wallet was missing. The pickpocket walked to the next ticket booth. I rushed to the man. “Sir, the pickpocket stole your wallet,” I said, and pointed to the boy at the booth. The man frantically searched the boy. The wallet was not with him. The man looked at me confused. I was puzzled. “I am sure he took it,” I said. “The girl is lying,” the pickpocket declared. The man apologised to the boy. I felt foolish and stupid. Not one to give up easily, I trailed the pickpocket. He walked to the elevator where another boy joined him. The new boy fished out the wallet from his bag. I suddenly realised that the pickpocket had stolen the wallet and passed it over to his friend, who disappeared after the theft. What a ploy! While they were happily counting the money, I rushed back to the ticket booth and narrated what happened to the man who lost his wallet. He followed me reluctantly. This time, the pickpocket and his accomplice were caught red-handed. The two boys were reprimanded. I was rewarded with free tickets to the movies. I walked home with a wide grin on my face. -Social Studies- 1) MESS: Social Studies Notes 1 2) MESS: Social Studies Notes 2 3) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 1 4) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 2 5) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 3 6) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 4 7) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 5 8) FFAS: Social Studies Notes 6
