Different scenarios in composition writing for your revision

Kidnapped
My hands were bound with thick ropes as I tried to figure out a way to escape from the dilapidated hut. I looked around me and saw a piece of broken glass on the decayed floorboards. I reached for it with my bound hands. With my nimble fingers, I quickly used it to cut through the thick ropes around my wrists.

At long last, I was free. I prayed that my captors were asleep as I pried open the creaking windows and crept stealthily out to safety.

Mischief
Jack ran hastily towards me. Immediately, I knew that there was something up his sleeves. He gave me a sly smile and told me that Billy was up to some mischief. He said that Billy had thrown my pencil case into the pond at the eco-garden. I was as angry as a bull saw red. I yelled, “WHAT! How dare he!” Without any delay, I ran at break neck speed to the pond.

I looked to my left.

Nothing.

My right.

Still nothing.

Suddenly, I felt someone pushing me from behind. I tried in vain to maintain my balance and it was too late. I fell into the pond with a loud SPLASH!

Robbery
He brandished the knife as an evil smile flickered across his face. Holding the shiny blade to her neck, he hissed menacingly, “Give me this! And that!”

Grunting with exasperation, he reached out and with a forceful tug, he ripped off the gold chain, together with the one-inch long, jade pendant. Then he darted across the street and disappeared into one of the dark alleys.

Accident
“Bang!!!” A car had collided with a stationary lorry before bursting into flames. The car’s windscreen was smashed into a thousand pieces. The smell of burning tires hung loosely in the air as the other cars behind screeched to a halt. Thick black smoke billowed and sparks were whirling in all directions as the driver of the car tumbled out, screaming in pain. It was chaotic as everyone tried frantically to flee from the dangerous scene.

Lost
I looked frantically around the overcrowded shopping mall, but could not see any familiar faces.
I was panic-stricken and a shiver ran down my spine. I screamed for my mother but to no avail. I thought I knew this shopping mall very well and I could not believe that this petrifying experience was happening to me. I held back my tears and screamed at the top of my lungs for my mother. Confused shoppers gave me quizzical looks.

Fight
“What a nerd!” Troy yelled at Yacky. Yacky’s anger turned into violence. Fists were flying. Yacky was throwing rock-hard punches at Troy. Yacky threw a glass bottle at Troy and it smashed into smithereens. Blood gushed profusely out of Troy’s nose. In a fit of rage, both boys exchanged blows again.

The impact of Yacky’s punch sent Troy crashing into the corner of the room.

Trapped
The evil caretaker ordered me to retrieve her pearl necklace that had dropped in the old well.
I got into the bucket with fear. Then, the care-taker lowered me into the well with an evil glint in her eye. Suddenly, the limp rope gave way. I fell into the deep water and blacked out.

When I regained consciousness, the cold water had swirled round me. Panic engulfed me.
Then, the caretaker closed the lid of the well. It was a trick! The caretaker only wanted to get rid of me…

Drowning
As the boat capsized and sank, Jack was thrown overboard. He struggled and swallowed some sea water, but soon he managed to swim to a floating piece of wood. He gasped for air while trying to stay afloat. In the nick of time, a lifeguard plunged into the water. He swam powerfully until he reached Jack, and pulled him safely to shore. Jack had barely managed to escape death.

Jack recovered from the ordeal and vowed to take his subsequent swimming lessons seriously.
