MODEL ESSAY 1

Write a story
It was a hot Monday morning. Alimin was on his way home from school. As
he was feeling hungry, he took a shortcut through Pak Abus house. Upon
reaching Pak Abus house, he saw a huge mango tree. It was bearing a lot of ripe
juicy mangoes. The mangoes made Alimins mouth water. He was tempted to pick
the mangoes.
Alimin put his knapsack down and looked left and right. There was nobody
around. Without much hesitation, Alimin started to climb up the tree. He picked
all the big and juicy mangoes. He ate them to his hearts content. Then he saw
more juicy mangoes at the far end of the branch. He decided to pick them. He
stepped on a weak branch and reached for the mangoes.
All of a sudden, the branch broke. Alimin fell to the ground. He groaned in
pain and screamed for help. Luckily a passer-by heard his scream. He quickly ran
to the rescue. He examined Alimin and told him that his right leg was
broken.Taking pity on him, the man took Alimin to the hospital.
Alimin regretted what he had done.
