WRITING

5 Write a paragraph (100 – 120 words) about the most pleasant OR

SAMPLE:
I had very pleasant experiences at my school. The first lovely experience I had was
when I did community service last year. I joined the school English club, and tutored
some primary school students for a semester. Their English became better, and they
were much more confident in English lessons. The second memorable experience I had
was going on a camping trip with my classmates. We went to a village about 20 km
from our school. Here, we put up tent, decorated it and we also won the competition
of tent decoration. We sang and danced and took a lot of photos. I also remember
winning the first prize in the school chess competition that year. The school then
presented me with a chess set. All these pleasant experiences will go with me forever.
