Writing Sample

Nervously I walked on the pitch. My tummy was beating as we were down 1-0. My head was dripping, drip, drop, drip, drop with hot sweat. The whistle blew. Anger bubbled inside me. The ball came towards me like a cheetah. I saw the trophies on the sideline panting to come. I heard my dad shriek "Watch the game." I passed the ball anxiously to my teammate he passed it back. Then I took a tremendous solid shot and it went powerfully straight into the back of the net. We were fighting back into the game. Excitement and exhaustment ran the my blood. Then we got another two goals. I asked the referee how long to go "1 min" replied the referee. 1 minute later the fierce whistle blew. The trophy was coming to me like a snail, slowly. I held up the trophy with relief. The trophy was free.

Go Fishing

Hey you, when you go fishing have you been following these rules? Whenever you go fishing on a boat you must where a life jacket!!! Full stop. Even if you are a really excellent swimmer you have to wear a life jacket. You never know you might get caught in something, so you always have to wear a life-jacket, understand.

Have you ever caught a baby fish, well if you have I hope you put it back because it needs time to grow, although if the fish is a beauty you must put it back because it will have babies. Have you been respecting these rules? 

If you catch a fish, when it comes out of the water you put it in salt-ice, hey I said salt-ice not ice, salt-ice. 

When it comes out you also have to put it in a towel, oops not a towel a wet towel, understand.
