A fire accident I have witnessed

Describe a fire accident I have witnessed

Fires are mainly caused by carelessness on the part of the

occupants of a house, factory, office or a shop

Sometimes, fire can be caused by electrical short circuit or

lightning

Last week, I visited my friend in Jurong There I had the

opportunity to witness a terrible fire which gutted almost

the entire row of small factories It was around 8 p.m., my

friend and I were practicing our guitars for the forthcoming

music competition Suddenly, we were attracted by shouts

and sirens They were also cries of distress We rushed

out of the house and saw a huge fire engulfing the factory

situated some four hundred meters from our block

With horror filled eyes, my friend and I ran towards the

place We saw a plastic factory on fire and the workers

were helpless By then, a big crowd had gathered and

nobody could do anything but to express sorrow Within

minutes of our arrival at the scene, several fire engines

arrived It was a tragic event which I cannot easily forget I

saw fear and panic everywhere

The firemen were engaged in a heroic battle with raging

fire They seemed helpless as the jets of water from the

hoses were not able to control the fire The firemen

struggled for nearly six hours before the fire was subdued

By then nearly four factories were completely gutted

I will never forget this fire incident

An embarrassing moment

Talk about an embarrassing moment

I could recall an event which happened four years ago My

father gave me a hundred dollars, for the good grades I

scored in my P.S.L.E To enjoy it, I invited some of my

closest friends to a restaurant for a meal

At the restaurant, I asked my friends to order as much as

they liked The food was delicious, the service was

efficient and the food was served fast All of us began to

eat We ate, talked and laughed at the jokes we made in

school

After we had finished our food, the waiter brought us the

bill I opened my purse to take out the money To my

surprise, I found my money missing Only then I realized

that I had left the money at home I was in such a hurry

that I had forgotten to put the money in my purse I wanted

to borrow the money from my friends, but none of them

could help me They had brought only enough money for

bus fare I told the waiter that I had forgotten to bring my

money The waiter was very angry and told me to see the

manager The manager was a kind gentleman He allowed

me to go home and get the money, but I had to leave my

identity card with him I immediately telephoned my sister

and told her to bring the money to the restaurant Ever

since that day I have stopped patronizing the restaurant I

am afraid that some of the waiters might remember my

face It was the most embarrassing moment in my life
