Composition: The theft in my garage
Last Saturday afternoon, when my dad and I were going to our garage, something
happened. Someone was robbing our neighbour Mr.E!
The elevator doors opened in front of us and we heard some noise but we didn’t care
about it because we thought it was a neighbour with his/her car. At that moment, I
saw a man with a black mask, black jumper, and jeans robbing our neighbour’s car. I
got really scared and also my father. Suddeny, the boy saw us so he started to run very
fast. After that, we called the police and they say: ”Don’t worry, we will find him”. Then
we called Mr. E to let him know.
The next Monday, I saw Mr. E and he told me that the police could find the thief and
he’s arrested.
