    ESSAY-----EXTENDED WRITING---(20MARKS)

    STORY-An Experience of joining a sport competition

    The first ray of the sun sneaked into my room. Chirping of birds,
    whistling of breeze and rustling of leaves formed a melodious
    symphony. ‘Jane, wake up! Help me to clean the store room.’ , shouted
    by my mother. I trudged my heavy footsteps and went to clean it. I
    glanced over a trophy while cleaning the store room. The memories
    of my past clicked into its place piece by piece. I started to trot
    down my memory lane.

    Since young, I was suffered from asthma. I can’t do extreme


    sports and activities as others could. My mother helped me to sign
    up for a swimming program to help me overcome my condition and
    she said that swimming was a paramount importance skill to learn. On
    the first day of class, I was afraid of water but after a few months
    of swimming lessons and guidance from my coach. I could swim
    freely in the water.

    In high school, swimming was included in the curriculum. I started


    to practice my swimming skills every week. Soon, my teacher noticed
    me and found out that I had the potential in swimming. ‘Jane, Do you
    want to join the swimming competition?’ As opportunity doesn’t
    knock twice, I promised the teacher to participate in the
    competition. Before the competition, I kept my nose on the
    grindstone and practice my swimming strokes all day and all night.
    On that day, my heart was palpitating wildly. I tried to encourage
    myself. ‘You know you can do it!’ I thought to myself just think about
    my very first competition. While the sound, ’Beep’, the competition
    started. My arm goes up into streamline position and I dive into the
    water. I thought to myself, ‘Pull, Kick, Pull, Kick……’, ‘Almost to the
    wall!’ “Beep”

    In the end, the judge announced the winners. When my name was
    announced as the second-place winner, I was on cloud nine. ‘Yes! I did
    it!’ My mother was extremely proud of me. Tears of joy started
    rolling down my face like a faulty faucet. This was my first
    experience of joining a sport competition. I was glad that I had
    learned a lot from the experience.
