The Story of a File

Hi, my name is Filey and i'm... well... a file. I got a story to tell you, something that happened to me when i was just bought. Well, it all started at the Popular bookshop.

"Mom. Mom. I want this file for my Science worksheets, could you buy this one for me? It has a variety of splendid colours that matches. Please buy this file for me. "exclaimed Mary. Her Mother replied," Of course you can have it, at least its for school worksheets. You can use this to help you revise the chapters of Science after you have filed up your work." Mother gave the money Mary needed to buy the file and she dashed to the counter once she grabbed the money. After buying the file, Mary and her Mother went home so that Mary can start filing up her work.

"I'm going to name you Filey since your a file. "Mary said at home while filing. The next day when she went to school, her classmates was jealous of her spectacular looking file, especially Cheryl, her classmate that always makes fun of her. Cheryl stared at the file, thinking how the file matches Mary's elegance. Cheryl thought she was one of the cool kids and never dared making fun of her again. She envied Mary and thinking repeatedly about having a fancy looking file like hers. A few months later, when it was Mary's birthday, her family and siblings came to her house a celebrated Mary's birthday.

Everybody that attended Mary's birthday gave her presents of all shapes and sizes. She was thankful just by seeing how many boxes of presents they had gave. She opened all her presents leaving her Grandmother's present, Mary had loved her Grandmother always and she reserved this present for the last. After she opened the presents, its time to open her Grandmother's present. When she opened, she saw a file in there but Mary did not always liked it because it looked rather old. Her Grandmother said, "You always wanted a file right? Well, heres one." She did not want to make her Grandmother upset or disappointed so she kept and used it.

The day after her birthday, at school, she brought her old looking file that her Grandmother had given to her and left the one that she always brought at home. Cheryl, being a busybody, went to her desk and saw her file, she burst out of laughter and went telling other classmates about it. When all of her classmates knew about this, they all laughed at her. Poor little Mary was sad and she sobbed at a corner. One day, she picked up the courage she needed and told her Grandmother, "Grandmother, to be honest, i really don't like the file that you gave me at my birthday, i'm sorry. I actually have a file already and I liked it very much." Her Grandmother laughed and lauded, "You don't have to be sorry, you have grown up and you also have the courage to tell your own Grandmother. Don't worry about that file i gave you, you can use the previous one that you have."

Draft 4

Dear Andy,

How are you? Is it great studying in United Kingdom? I hope you'll be fine. I'm here to tell you about the riot in Little India in Singapore. At the eighth of December, It started from a bus running over a Indian national man, he was thirty-three and named Sakthival. It was occurred at the junction of  Race Course Road and Tekka Lane. There was a commotion about the accident that happened.

Then, the police was informed about the serious road accident and the Civil Defence Force was alerted two minutes later. An ambulance also arrived at the scene. Next, a police and a fire engine arrives while there was a crowd of a hundred congregated. The police reinforcements came and at the same time, the crowd swelled up to approximately four hundred persons. The body of the worker under the bus was extricated. The angry mob started pelting the emergency officers with concrete blocks and beer bottles.

The group of Special Operations Command officer immediately arrived to form up and disperse the crowd. The police took control of the scene while High Visibility patrols were deployed to avoid the rioters from regrouping. The police were as busy as a bee. They found thirty-six suspects and arrested them. At the ninth of December, the Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong orders the Committee of Inquiry into cause of unrest. The second Home Affairs Minister Iswaran also announces the temporary ban of alcohol sales in Little India.

The tenth day of December, eight more suspects were arested for alleged involvement in the riot. Twenty-four Indian workers, aged between twenty-two and fourty are charged in court. The last day, the eleventh of December, the police said that three more workers will be charged in court.I saw and read some foreign news and the said that it was the cause of alcoholic consumption, some say they were angry because of the police. I must say that sometimes, foreign news are exaggerating or assuming that these things happened. The mob was furious because of the bus driver that ran over the Indian man.

I feel that this riot can be avoided and not get into trouble. If they can just leave the accident in the police's hands, this would not have happened. The police would not be troubled to find the suspects. I hope you think this is interesting, I look forward to your visit to Singapore next month. you an ask me any questions about the riot when you reach Singapore.

Yours Truly,
Damien

Why do people celebrate CNY

A long time ago, a story was told from generation to generation, mostly kids, every night of Chinese New Year, a monster that looked like a lion called Nian appeared somewhere in China. It was told that if the children did not sleep, Nian will come to eat them. Some people said it was just to help children sleep. One day, Nian appeared and the people saw him, all were afraid of it and stayed at home. An old man came to one of the houses and requested for something to eat. The woman in the house gave food to the old man to eat. The old man was thankful for the woman's generosity and repay for her kindness by showing the woman how to scare away Nian. The old man put firecrackers and red papers on the door and lit the firecrackers  and it produced loud sounds and lights. When everybody heard the noise, they saw Nian running away frightened. The people thanked the old man and they put on red papers and firecrackers to scare away Nian every year. Some people believed, some don't, what do you think?
