Task 4

1) POV Of The Gun

The last thing I remembered after I was made was I was always left in the dark. I was cushioned by cloths wrapped around me and even the cloths was dark in colour including me. I have never seen and felt the sun and light before. When I had the opportunity, it only last me a few seconds and each time my bullets go missing.

As the days past, I suddenly heard an alarm and I could feel the bag that contains me move rapidly. What was happening? Was there an earthquake? I was tossed around with other junks in the bag which felt extremely hard and I thought I might break soon. However, the cloths lessen the impact. Finally, the earthquake stopped and I felt there was something holding me and the cloths were being unwrapped. I was free or at least I thought I was free.

I was still being held tightly by the cluthes of my user. I was faced towards a young man probably around his late 20s. He wored smart clothes but he looked at me as though I was the scariest monster in the world. I was very much smaller and yet he was frightened. My user was demanding the young man to hand him cash and jewellary. The innocent young man frantically handed him everything he could and began to beg not to kill him. He had both his hands held high and I felt the trigger was about to fire.

'Stop!' I shouted but to no avail.

I could not control myself and the bullet shot the innocent young man to his heart. It was too gruesome to describe how it was but there was definitely blood everywhere. How could my user be so heartless. I witness the jewellary shop surroundings and it was even worst then what I had just seen. The place looked as though there was a mass murder that happened. The vision vanished as I was being wrapped in cloths again.

Task 3

Confessions Of A Fussy Eater

I was sitting in the dining room with all kinds of food around the table and several pairs of eyes glaring at me. This was a complete nightmare and I felt extremely awkward in that position. It all started when I had a horrible eating habit which is eating nothing but my favourite chips and pastas. I still do not know why this eating habit suddenly grew but it was definitely affecting my life.

My family tried all means to get me to try some new food by forcing them in my mouth and throwing out the foods that I can only depend from the house. However, it was no use because I would just have a sudden urge to vomit the food out thus, making me sick and instead I would continue buying my usual easy foods. This made me feel that it was impossible for me to get use to foods. My fiance was on the verge of getting frustrated with me because we could not even have a proper dinner date. Everyday, my family would look at me with such worrying eyes as though something bad might happen to me soon but I never paid attention to them as I felt healthy and fine.

After I came home from work late at night, I saw a perculiar tape address to me. I have not seen it before and I find it very mysterious but as I played it, tears welled up in my eyes. It was a footage of encouragement from every single family member including my fiance to help persuade me to get rid of my eating habits. From it, I could feel their emotions as they spoke and how they were worried of my future if I continue. After watching it, I was disappointed in myself for being so selfish but it also gave me determination to help remove that eating habit of mine from their support.

As the few following days passed, I began to respect them more and I tried to get every single alien food in my stomach. It definitely caused me to be sick several days and it was extremely difficult chewing them. However, I managed to adapt and I discovered some delicious food which I really like such as cherry tomatoes and fish. Fruits are the best I have tasted because it is very sweet and juicy. My family seemed very curious but at the same time relieved that I was finally able to eat normally and have meal times together. I was also able to have proper dinner dates with my fiance and our relationship grew.


Being from a fussy eater to now, has made very good progress in my life especially my health and from this experience, I am finally able to create a new chapter in life.

Task 2

(c) Jake was angry at Diane's accusations

Every word that came out of her mouth ravage his feelings. He could feel hot steam raging from his body and he had mixed feelings of wanting to act. He clenched his fist tightly and used the pain to let her voice slip away from his mind. She was persistant but he endured it with every second it took her to stop. It was extremely torturing to him listening her evil tone as she spoked as it was not true.

(d) The old lady sat alone in her room


There she was, helpless with only her thoughts of regret. She cried her heart out but no one could hear her. Tears rolled down uncontrollably and she was left with frightening images. Is this what she deserve was her only question for the long journey she experienced. She moved her eyes to a photo which brought a smile to her face and suddenly beautiful memories flooded her mind. However, it was too late to turn her horrible fate to a better one like before as it was her time to leave them soon.

Task 1a: [v] Trained hard, backed out from competition

A few metres away from me, I could hear people cheering and I almost went into tears.

‘Are you all right?’ asked my coach.

'I’m fine’, I answered.

I felt extremely disappointed in myself and I have let everyone especially my coach down. I could not face reality and before, it never occurred to me that the reason I had backed out was because of the things I have done for the past 3 months.

When I received the news from my coach, Miss Wee that I was able to compete in a national swimming competition, I felt I should not let this opportunity slip pass me. Therefore, I trained hard everyday with her. I did not even give myself time for breaks because I did not find it important to me.

After 2 months of hard work, I could feel my muscles aching and there were also difficulties when I swim. However, I tried my best to persevere and allow myself no time to rest. Miss Wee was very impress with my determination but she felt that I had practice too hard. She encouraged me to seek a doctor because of my muscle ache and have a few days of rest but I never did. My only aim during that time was to win that medal and to make my coach, family and myself proud.

On the day of the competition, my muscles aches worsen into a piercing pain. It was extremely painful that I could not even stand up. I knew it was impossible for me to swim during the competition. When it was my turn to compete, the pain never went away. My coach told me that I need to backed out from the competition and even if I swim in such conditions, I would still have a high possibility of drowning. There was no other choice for me and so I backed out from the competition. Backing out from the competition was extremely suffering for me to handle. It seems that all my hard work was being wasted and I definitely regret being too enthusiastic. However, I have learnt a valuable lesson and hopefully an opportunity like this will happen again for me. Practice makes perfect but I guess it does not make perfect all the time.
