    422Describe a time when you learnt a new skill. Remember to describe what you did and
    how you felt.
    1. Introduction
    2. P4
    3. Now
    4. Understand
    5. Ending
    I sat amazed and in awe at the words in front of me, the complexities and difficulties faded
    away, whiffed away into thin air. I looked around at the books left opened around me. 'I
    understand it now!', I shouted in silence as my voice was concealed behind a curtain of self-
    control. Everybody was looking at me with confusion. However, I did not care. I finally
    grasped it. I finally understood English.

    Sitting in solitude in 'Study Room 2', a luxury provided by my hostel, my mind wandered to
    the first time I was introduced to English as a subject. At that time, I was in primary four and
    was eager to learn, what was at that time, an exotic language. I remembered sitting with my
    angelic eyes looking at the whiteboard in confusion. Ten years had past and I still could not
    understood English fully. A whiff of cool moist air softly caressed my forehead, bringing my
    attention back to the plethora of books blooming like sunflowers is front of me.

    A returned to the task at hand - 'Phrasal Verb in Use' - which I intended to finish that day. As
    my sight slowly glided from word to word, I felt small sense of relief inside me. The feeling
    was a mixture of epiphany and merriment. As I read the pages, I noticed my hand moving
    faster and faster. My reading was getting faster! However, that was not the end of the story.
    Flipping pages after page, the rupture of feelings inside me became stronger and stronger. I
    thought that I had finally done it.

    'I understand it now!', I shouted in fanatically, albeit in silence.

    My faces were stretch with a blissful smile. My gate darted round the room. From the various
    books and signs, everything made sense. The verbs and tenses, the pronouns and nouns
    and the adjectives and adverbs were finally at my grasp.

    It was an epiphanic realisation - a realisation I had been longing for since primary-four. I
    realised that I had just learnt a new skill. I had just learnt the essence of English. Now, I
    knew the reason behind the positioning of the words. I knew why different types of words are
    used. I understood the different tenses and most importantly, I could speaking English
    fluently.

    This new skill is my knight in a shining armour,

    ‘I was truly amazed.’ Write about a time when you felt like this.
    'And next, the award you all are longing to hear,' the principal narrated with great
    enthusiasm. 'Firstly, top for mathematics goes to John Lim from six-one,' I was resting in my
    seat, clapping in synchrony with the crowd with torso slouching waiting for time to pass. The
    mayhem of exultations gradually passed out as the ceremony wrapped up. Deliberately, the
    principal stood still, sending a calm sense of anticipation and excitement throughout the
    room. What happened slipped out of my mind at the end of that day, however I remembered
    very vividly that at that time, I was truly amazed.

    It was the last day of school - a week after my O-NET. It was a generic school day filled with
    academic lessons back to back. In contrast, that day was the release of my O-NET's result.
    The sun was setting as I made my way to the school's auditorium. With anticipation and
    apprehension, family members of the graduating cohort flocked into the school, indifferent
    about the gruesome stress in students. Met with a pail cool wind, the auditorium felt like
    another world. The ovoid hall was filled to the very brim with students and teachers. A clam
    sense of pandemonium emanated throughout the room as students began taking seats on
    the quaint hard wooden benches. After much anticipation, the moment came. Starting with

    the quaint hard wooden benches. After much anticipation, the moment came. Starting with
    the national anthem, the students stood up individually in solitude. The anthem, its
    mellifluous hymn, is a sanctuary, the last opportunity of solace for the countless students in
    the auditorium. The principal walked out to the podium with a reserved sense of enthusiasm
    as the students sat down.

    The ceremony began with a series of prayer. Eventually, the much anticipated moment
    came. The average score of the nation was announced followed by the average mark of the
    school. Clapping their hands in celebration, all the students could think of is their individual
    grades. The entire school was happy and so was I. With a blissful tone, the principal started
    to announce the top scorer for each subject.

    Trying to clap in synchrony with the crowd, I reflected back to the time I spent studying for
    the O-NET. Optimistically, I have done the best I could. In reality, I could have done a lot
    better. Much more time can be spent to prepare for the examination. In solitude, I reminisced
    about the time I stayed up all night before papers, trying to cram every bits of information
    into my mind at the very last minute. In contrast, my friends had spent countless months
    studying. Most of my classmates were ready for the O-NET well before the date of our
    exams. The prospect of my results was not all gloomy however as I had prepared aptly for
    English and Thai. Eventually, I came to a conclusion. My fate was sealed. I sank effortlessly
    into the seat, letting the tensions and stress exit out of my body. I sank deeper and deeper
    into the bench. My eyes slowly closed as I gradually fell into a slumber.

    My moment of solace did not last long however as suddenly, with a tap on the shoulder and
    a sound of chaos, I regained my consciousness. Opening my eyes, I realized that I just
    became the centre of attention. With a glimpse upward, I saw something unbelievable. My
    name was on the screen and above it said 'Highest Overall Result'. My jaw dropped and I
    was paralyzed in amazement. How could it be? I came into the room believing that my life
    was over. How could the result be this good? I was truly amazed! I was truly amazed that in
    contrast to my subpar preparation, my results were this good. I was truly amazed that I did
    ways better than some of my friends and I was truly amazed that I had proven myself wrong
    and that I can finally do my family proud.
