[A Simple Sample Essay]


An accident I witnessed

   Last Monday morning, I decided to walk to school rather than to cycle there. The distance to school from my house is just a stone's throw away. As I lazily dragged myself to school.Suddenly,as fast as lightning, a group of boys whizzed pass me on their bicycles. They were racing with each other.

  Unfortunately, one of the boys hit a big rock by the road side and fell down hard onto the road.He was the last one in the group. Unaware,his friends just kept racing on.I was shocked at what I saw and quickly ran to help him.

   To my surprise, it was Kamal, my friend. His right arm and right leg were bleeding and he could not move his right arm.Furthermore, It gave him an excruciating pain when he tried to move it.His friends rode back to see what had happened. 

    Luckily, a good samaritan stopped his car and took him to the hospital. Later in the evening, his friends and I paid him a visit at the hospital.He was still in pain but he managed to joke about his experience with us.He deeply regretted his actions and vowed never to race again.Road safety is very important.

      Therefore, we must take it seriously. We must never race while cycling on the road.We must always cycle on the opposite side of the road and always wear protective gear when cycling. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.



______________________________________________________

(The sample essay above is roughly 240 words and I have used 4 idioms in the essay)

  1. Prevention is better than cure - it is better to stop something bad from happening than it is to deal with it after it has happened.
  2. As fast as lightning -incredibly quickly or speedily.
  3. Good Samaritan -  a person who helps other people and especially strangers when they have trouble.
  4. A stone's throw away - a very short distance.

    1. The progressive form is a verb tense used to show an ongoing action in progress at some point in time.

      It shows an action still in progress. Verbs can appear in any one of three progressive tenses: present progressive, past progressive, and future progressive.

      The verbs in the progressive form use a form of "to be" + the present participle (an -ing verb). (It is the form of the helping verb that indicates the tense.)


      Example

      Present Progressive: I am eating.

      Past Progressive: He was writing.

      Future Progressive: She will be working.

      Present Perfect Progressive: I have been sleeping.

      Past Perfect Progressive: They had been eating.

      Future Perfect Progressive: She will have been coming.
