Revision year 8 introductory paragraph
- 1. Introductory Paragraph ENGLISHGURU WWW.SHAIOMARALI.COM | WWW.SHAIOMARALI.NET/2011 Start by describing a character A : Another character Hakim was a strange man. He lived in a small wooden hut that he built on his own. Everyday, he would walk around his hut collecting insects. And in the evening, he mixed all these insects in a glass jar, cooked them over a small fire and ate them for dinner. The strange thing was, Hakim was once a doctor. He once drove a Mercedes and wore a smart suit and tie. Now he only had a pair of torn jeans and a greasy t-shirt. This all started a year ago. B : You I took off my sunglasses as we approached my grandfather’s house. It looked dull. I was ecstatic about the school holiday but my parents decided to visit my sick grandfather. I was never close to him. In fact, I had never even met him. I soon realized that I hated old people. Start by describing a place A : Very shocking What an ugly hotel! I regretted in joining my friends for this trip to Miri. The beds were too hard, the toilet was dirty, and worst of all the carpet had red stains all over. Even the smell was horrible, like someone left a dead cat somewhere. I felt like running out of the room but my friends had not arrived yet. Their flight was delayed. So I decided to take a short nap. Before I could even rest my head on the hard pillow, my eyes caught some movement in the toilet. Was there someone else in the room? B : Slow description The jungle soon grew darker as we tried to find our way out. My friend and I got lost in the jungle right after we decided to fetch water from the river for our camping group. Just as we began to lose hope, we saw a faint flicker of light in the distance. As we dragged our feet through the mud, we began to see a small dilapidated house and a candle flicking through its only window. Inside, we could see a shadow jumping around its walls. Someone was inside! We sighed a sigh of relief as we felt safer. However, our night was about to turn into a horrific episode we would never forget.
- 2. Introductory Paragraph ENGLISHGURU WWW.SHAIOMARALI.COM | WWW.SHAIOMARALI.NET/2011 Start with a time stamp A : With a phrase ( Last year / month / week ) or ( A / Two / Three /__________ ago) Last year, my friends and I decided to go for an adventurous trip to an isolated island near Jerudong. No one lived in the island, which was why we thought it would be the best place for a camping trip and nights of fishing and hunting. B : With a date It was on 22nd September 2008 when my best friend died of a road accident. I remembered it well as she was like a sister to me. We became so close the moment she started sleeping over at my house. She even called my mother ‘mom’ and had a bed of her own to sleep in. Last week was her birthday so I wished her a happy birthday before I slept. That night, a cold wind jolted me up. As my body shivered in the chill, the wind became a faint sound of a whisper.
