《 清 洁 的 海 滩 》
太阳刚跳出海面，射下万道金光。 我们全班同学都在学校集合， 等巴士来接我们到海滩拾垃圾。 同学们三五成群，兴奋地说起话来。巴士来了，同学们争先恐后地上了巴士，我们就出发了。
同学们一来到海边，都欢呼雀跃起来。 海滩的风景真令人心醉！ 一望无际的大海、洁白的沙滩、 高高的椰子树……..只可惜沙滩上有很多垃圾， 真煞风景！
老师把我们分成两组， 一组捡废纸； 一组拾空罐。 大家开始忙了起来， 做呀做， 一口气把垃圾全部收拾干净。 我 们累得汗流浃背， 满脸通红。 虽然很累， 可是远远地看到沙滩更美丽了， 大家都忘了疲劳， 开心地笑了！
这时， 有个小男随手把香蕉皮丢在地上， 我走过去，耐心地对他说：“乱丢垃圾是不好的习惯，难道你不喜欢干净的地方吗？如果喜欢，大家就要尽量地去保持干净呀！” 小男孩脸红了，马上把垃圾丢进垃圾桶里，老师看了露出了满意的笑容。
黄昏时分，金色的阳光洒在海面上，顿时海面上闪出粼粼波光，就像仙女散落的一大把一大把的碎金。我们依依不舍地踏上归途，海边的椰子树像无数只绿色的小手，在风中摇摆，好像在向我们告别。我也情不自禁地举起手，再见了！美丽清洁的海滩。

Late for Class But…
"Nanny Nanny Poo Poo! You can't catch me!" I shouted to my brother. My brother and I were playing “catching” on the MRT platform. We were on our way to our first tuition class and were waiting for the train to arrive. It was already 3.30 pm and we were late.
"Don't run around! Sit here and wait for the train!" my mother said in the firmest of voices. However, instead of obeying her, we continued playing. We were in high spirits. My mother grew more agitated by the minute.
"Silence! Silence! Boys!" My mother’s temper was rising. Her blood was boiling but we still ignored her.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, my brother and I spotted papers flying all around. We felt curious and started picking up the papers.
"Hey! Look, brother! There are Maths sums on all these papers! 56 x 40 .....20 x 62 ..... 55 x 12......".
"Hey! I've got too!" Where did all these papers come from? It must belong to someone!” I thought to myself.
My brother and I started looking for the owner of these papers and we noticed a man pacing up and down relentlessly. He glanced frantically around the platform.
"Maybe he’s the one. Let's give the papers to him!" I whispered to my brother. We walked to him briskly and handed the papers to him.
"Are you looking for these papers?"
"Oh, yes! Thank you!" The man was very grateful and thanked us profusely.
Just then, our mother came over to us and told us we had missed the train. The man apologized to us for delaying our time. My brother and I expected my mother to reprimand us, however, she did not. Instead, she praised us for the superlative work we had done in helping the man. My brother and I were elated and broke into wide smiles.
When the next train came, the man, my mother, my brother and I boarded the same train. The man then told us that he was on his way to work and was already late. In his haste, he had tripped over a bag of groceries and dropped all his papers. We were all chit-chatting happily and did not realize that we had alighted at the same MRT station.
My mother was very anxious and kept looking at her watch. After we alighted my mother kept nagging at us to walk faster. As we walked, I noticed that the man was also walking the same way as us! When we reached the tuition centre, my brother and I ran into our classroom. We then realized that the man we had helped at the MRT platform was our new tutor. What a coincidence!

A Cycling Accident
School examinations were finally over. Xuan Ying and his brother decided to go cycling at the park. After cycling for a while, Xuan Ying suggested to his brother, “Let’s race to the other side of the hill! See who is first!”
Xuan Ying and his brother cycled at great speed. Both of them wanted to show off that they could cycle really fast. They reached the top of the hill and went down the hill.
Their speeds accelerated as they cycled downhill. They started to panic and their hearts pounded at amazing speeds. Suddenly, Xuan Ying’s bicycle hit a rock and he was flung off the bicycle. His brother wanted to avoid crashing into Xuan Ying’s bicycle, and he turned his bicycle away. Unfortunately, he crashed into a tree.
The brothers were groaning in pain. Xuan Ying had some scratches on his hand and legs. His brother had abrasions on his head. Some joggers came to help them and they also informed their parents. Soon, their parents arrived and brought them home. Xuan Ying and his brother realized their folly and promised not to do such dangerous things again.
