The Drowning Accident

“ Help, help ! Somebody help me ! The river is so deep. ” David shouted

for help.
“ Calm down David, I will save you now. “ I replied him.
I still remember this incident entirely when I faced a misunderstanding
took place between me and my best friend, David and happened this
terror incident also my first time faced in my life. Now, our friendship
become more intimate and close after this incident happened last year. I
am very fond of taking bath in rivers or canals and very often go for these
purposes, sometimes with my friends and sometimes alone. However,
that day was my unforgettable incident that still fresh in my mind.
On that Sunday, I was whistling merrily as I walked to the river with my
best friend, David . It was morning and on reaching the river bank , we
saw a crowd of people including young children had already reached
there. The river water was gushing rapidly this time. Therefore, those
who were elderly were bathing peacefully in the shallow water near the
river bank. But the young children were very excited and once they
stepped into the river, they hardly obeyed their parents. I could hear their
laughter and shrieks in that time. Seeing their excitement, we also got
excited.
We also put on our clothes and started swimming. Before swimming, I
gave the advice to David because he is not a good swimmer to avoid him
from drowning. “ David you cannot swim in the deep river, it is dangerous
for you.” I advised him. However, he was fuming with anger soon , “ Why
I must listen your advice, there also have people swim there, I don’t
scared.” he said to me angrily. Then, he had been unyielding me and ran
away from me. He dived into that river and swam happily in the river,
then he swam into the deep river. In a twinkling of an eye, he started
drowning that he did not know swimming in deep river.
“ Help, help ! Somebody help me ! The river is so deep. ” David shouted
for help. Soon, I heard his shout and ran frantically to the direction of his
shout. “ Calm down David, I will save you now. “ I replied him. His life was
in danger and the gravity of the situation demanded immediate action. I
know how to swim. Therefore without thinking much, I at once dived into
the river water. I swam as fast as I could and soon I reached him. I caught
his hair and tried to draw him to the bank. But unfortunately his hairs
slipped from my hand and he again started to drown. I got nervous for a
few seconds but I did not leave my effort. “ You can do it, don’t give up!” I
encouraged myself.
This time I caught him by the neck and started dragging him to the bank.
As the current was very swift and strong and was following in opposite
direction, it looks several minutes but finally I came to the bank with him
safely. He had drunk a good deal of water and he was completely
unconscious. I laid him on the bank and pressed his belly. Thanks God
that water gurgled out and he became conscious. A big crowd had
gathered in between and all were patting on my back. His parents, who
were at the edge of losing their son, embraced me with tears in their
eyes. I also got sentimental and hugged him with tearful eyes that he is
my best friend. After that, he knew that my advice actually was a caring
for him. He explained that he fulled of jealous animosity when I swam
better than him at first. Therefore, he thought that he wanted to swim in
deep river as he is a good swimmer. He apologized to me and promised
me that he must obey my advice. So, we also solved this
misunderstanding between us.
I returned home with a sense of contentment on my face. I had done a
sacred duty by saving a precious life who is my best friend. My parents
felt proud of me and they also patted on my back. Though one year have
passed since the incident took place but the memory is still fresh in my
mind. I can not forget his helpless, miserable face. Thanks God who gave
me enough courage to save my best friend. From that day, we treasure
our friendship each other until everlasting and never face the
misunderstanding after happening this incident. I can fell a sense of
euphoria when we stay together no matter for a while in my life.
“DOOM DAY”
“Hey! Why did you hit me?” I shouted.
“I am just kidding you…don’t take it too seriously.” Ashraf said.
“This joke isn’t funny at all…” I replied.
“Boom……”
 I still can remember this unforgettable and overpowering misunderstanding took place
between me and my best friend and caused this accident because of this misunderstanding
chiselled vividly in my mind 2 years ago when we were completing our extra class. It was a
beautiful Sunday evening and the sky was in azure blue. My best friends,Mujahid,Ashraaf
and I had just finished our extra class.As this was our last year,we needed to pull up our
socks to pass with flying colour in SPM examination.We went to a bus stop that was just a
stone's throw away from our school and waited for a school bus to fetch us.The road beside
the bust stop was as busy as a bee.It was the peak of time for people to go home.I could say
that the road was totally packed by cars,lorries which were queuing up.
At the bus stop,my friends and I had a cherry banter and we joked around happily.It was
such a release-tension method for the three of us.Mujahid was full of dramas doing some
actions to our stories while Ashraf and I laughed until we had burst into tears. Suddenly,
Ashraf hit me a lot of power and I felt out of sorts.
“Hey! Why did you hit me?” I shouted.
“I am just kidding you…don’t take it too seriously.” Ashraf said.
“This joke isn’t funny at all…” I replied.
“Boom……”
Out of the blue ,a middle sized blue lorry glided towards the bus stop and encroached the
pillar that separated the road and the place we werre standing by.Thank God I was quick in
evading the fatal incident but poor Ashraf and Mujahid could not.The superb brand new lorry
also ran with other students from our school who were waiting at the bus stop.
The incident was so terrible and horrifying that I went weak at the knees when I witnessed
it.About seven students including Mujahid and Ashraf were stranded by the roadside.Their
bags and books were all scattered on the roadside.The victim's blood splashed everywhere
and they looked so chronically injured.The situation was chaotic and I felt very sorry to them
because without this misunderstanding, there would not be an accident. Although I
paralyzed with fear but I pushed myself to get help for them.I tried to stop some of the road
users who were passing by the incident area and fortunately they did.Some of them parked
their vehicles not far from the incident are just to lend their helping hand.
The blue lorry driver was arrested.He was a tall,dark and muscular 40 years old under drug
control.He was sent to the police station nearby by a policman who was on his way
home.Some of the people helped me to lift the injured and fainted victims.It was so
melancholic to see Mujahid and Ashraf were among them.Other people who were there
during the incident also helped to stop some drivers and asked them to send all the victims
involved to the hospital.Since the vistims were surely sent to the hospital,I rode a car,named
BMW which also had brought Mujahid and Ashraf along to a hospital.I cried my heart out
when I saw their pale faces were smeared with blood.
“Sorry bro…I shouldn’t have caused this misunderstanding.”
About ten minutes later,we reached the hospital.The other victims that were sent by other
vehicles had arrived before us.Mujahid and Ashraf were sent to the emergency unit,while I
was asked to wait at the waiting area.While waiting for the other victims to finish their
treatment,I called my school principal,Puan Nadia using the hospital's public phone.I
informed her of what had happened from the beginning till the end.She then replied that she
would go there as fast as possible.
 A few minutes later,Puan Nadia arrived.She was so panicked and worried about the
victims.One of the doctors came and calmed her down.The doctor said,the victims were in
stable condition and would recuperate in a short period.Puan Nadia felt anxious upon
hearing the news.It was totally a dark night,Puan Nadia helped me to go back home.My
mother was so worried of me.Nevertheless,Puan Nadia and I told my mom the real situation
and my mom was so grateful I was the one who saved from the incident. The incident was
really horrifying to me.I was so grateful the incident had not ruined my life. I also said sorry to
my friend because without my unruly and capricious, the misunderstanding and the
horrifying accident will not happened. Fortunately, they forgive me for being rude and now
we were still each other’s best friends.

Terror accident

“Hey, hey, has anybody here, the boy is badly hurt! "I shouted for help.

"What happened, I can help you. "The passed-by said.

I still remember wholly that this accident happened when I had first time to take a long journey by
myself last month and it also created an unforgettable experience to me in this trip. I am the
unsociable and solitary person but who think that I also is a travel enthusiast so I have to grasp the
golden opportunity to take a long journey by myself in this holiday and nobody can assume that it
will be my first significant experience in my life.

It was a very cold morning as it had been raining like cats and dogs the previous night.After
carrying my luggage upstairs ,I wanted to visit various scenic spots that I had burned the midnight oil
to search from Internet in a hurry. As the hotel manager was feeling a little under the weather, I
decided to walk to my scenic spot with my map by myself on that day. A bolt out of the blue, when I
was lost and tried to figure out some ways to estimate the place, I heard a screeching noise from a
car and some pedestrian screamed their head off when they saw the terror accident.

To my instinct, I quickly turned around to see what had happened due to my curiosity was aroused
by this state. I stood stunned and speechless by this abrupt accident. I saw a boy was lying down in
the middle of the road with his bicycle. He was badly hurt. The floor and his school uniform was all
covered with his blood. He was bleeding profusely. There was a white Honda stopped in front of the
little boy. The driver of the car quickly came down from the car and the shock robbed him of speech.
Luckily, the car driver did not hurt much,he just had some injuries on his hand.

I sank into melancholy and my heart pounding so fast at the time. I wanted to call the ambulance
but did not expect I realized that my phone was not with me because I overlooked at the hotel.There
was no any telephone booth around either."I want to run away…… "I murmured, but I realized that
my legs mummified like God also requested me to aid the boy. Therefore, I decided to shout
"Hey,hey,has anybody here, the boy is badly hurt. "and nobody thought that this accident made my
trip be more unique and mend my unsocial style. Luckily, a passer-by that had saw the situation
quickly used her mobile phone to call for an ambulance.
 There were a few tourists stood motionless with horror accident. Besides, it had some tourists
quickly ran into the nearby guard room to inform the guard. After a moment, a formidable guard
rushed out from his room and called to the police apprehensive. Soon, the ambulance had arrived
and the badly injured boy was taking away to the hospital. The police arrived too at the same time.
They questioned the driver with an angry frown creased their forehead and some witnesses so as me
because they thought accident occuring due to negligence.

Minutes flew by, I scurried to the hospital dreary and grief. Soon, I noticed the boy's mother fell to
her knees, clutching her head in despair in front of the emergency room. His father hugged and
thanked me for umpteen times because dropped in the boy. His eyes also puffy and red after all the
crying. A tingle of sorrow swept over me. Hours flew by, the doctor came out from the emergency
room and told us the news finally. The boy was still alive although in comatose situation. Tears of joy
cascaded down their cheeks at least there was a miracle .

The time in the hospital became my whole day's itinerary and this accident had became a little
episode in my journey.I never annoyed that I did this superb deed and extremely grateful that the
boy still alive.Besides, this unforgettable experience will be etched in my mind.

Describe the first time you had to take a long journey by yourself.
You should write about the trip and explain how you felt about the
experience.
Snatch Thieves
‘Help! Help! Somebody please help me.’ I said.
‘Don’t worry. I will help you.’ A passer-by replied with a piety heart.
I still can remember permanently that the ill-fated accident had occurred
vividly on a breezy morning. That accident happened few years ago when I had
my first time long journey by myself. That accident had made a deep
impression on me.

I had spent my first week of the journey at many places in Hong Kong such as
Disneyland, Victoria Harbour, Victoria Peak and so on. It were a joyful and
memorable time. It was the second week of my journey in Hong Kong. That
was a real scorcher day. The city was bustle and hustle. I was going to have my
lunch in a restaurant before I continued my journey. I leave the hotel and
walked towards restaurant a short distance away. I had a Gucci handbag slung
over my shoulder.
At a crossing, I waited patiently for the light to turn green. When it did, I
crossed over the road. Suddenly, a motorcycle leapt forward and the two men
were on it. In a split of second, they were speeding up to me and the pillion
rider grabbed my handbag. At that moment, I was shocked and my mind’s
gone blank. I was screaming thunderous for help. I kept on struggling and
never let go of my handbag. I was dragged a few metres and my head had
been hit by the pillion rider. I let go my handbag and they ran away.

‘Help! Help! Somebody please help me.’ I said.

‘Don’t worry. I will help you.’ A passer-by replied with a piety heart.
My vision blurred and I fainted unconsciously. I was obviously in great pain and
in excessive external bleeding as the rough road scratched my skin.
Fortunately, the passer-by was the St. John qualified first-aider. Hence, he
knew some professional rescue skills. As English says, drastic times call for
drastic measures, the passer-by who has a positive attitude decided to take a
drastic action to aid me. After couple of minutes of hard work to overcome the
obstructions, he finally reached his ultimate goal. At that moment, he was very
exhausted.

Fortune did not favour the thieves. A few seconds later, they crashed into the
tanker in the middle of the road. The two men were sent flying, hitting over
vehicles before falling on the road. They laid motionless in pool of blood. The
accident caused the traffic congestion. The whole sequence of ill-fated events
occurred in less than fifteen seconds. Some men rushed to the thieves and
pulled them to the roadside. Whatever they do will bear a consequence like
the saying goes, ‘what goes around comes around.

The police and paramedic were on the scene within minutes. The authoritative
police cordoned off the area. After a short while, the two men and I had been
transported to the hospital for receiving further treatment. It was a long and
delicate operation and my scream of pain echoed throughout the emergency
room. After a few hours, my operation had completed. The doctor told me that
I was suffered from severe injury on my skin and it resulted in the excessive
external bleeding but now I am all right. What wonderful news for me, I
thanked God for my narrow escape. As English says, ‘accidents will happen’,
thus we should be vigilant at all times.

A few hours later, there was a man went into the ward. No doubt, he was the
man who had saved me in the accident. He returned my handbag to me. I was
on the top of the world and very grateful for his aid. The next day, I had made
a decision to go back to Malaysia. I was very joyfully in that long journey
although I had an accident. Besides that, I also learned many experience from
that journey. For instance, it was exactly perilous to have a handbag slung over
shoulder. Therefore, I will ensure that it would not happen for the second time
as wise saying goes, once bitten twice shy.
