Section C Practice 5

Set A

            Last Saturday morning, Shah was going to school for his Sports Day. He stopped at a stall to buy nasi lemak. He saw the stall was dirty but he did not mind. He was hungry, so he ate two packets of nasi lemak. He needed energy to run in the race.

            While running in the race, Shah felt pain in his stomach. He could not run fast. However, he wanted to run to finish the race.

            Suddenly, he fell on the ground. He vomited in the field. He knew that he had food poisoning. The teachers saw him and gave him a help. He regretted that he bought the nasi lemak from the dirty stall. He also lost in the race. It was an experience that he would never forget.

Set B

            Last Saturday was Sports Day at Shah’s school. On the way to school, he stopped by the roadside to buy nasi lemak from a stall. The stall was very dirty as he saw flies everywhere. Rubbish was scattered all over the ground too. As he was very hungry, he bought and ate two packets of nasi lemak. He also needed energy as he was taking part in the 100 metres race.

            While running in the race, Shah suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He could not run fast and had difficulty in breathing. Yet, he decided to carry on with the race. While running, the pain in his stomach got worse. He could not keep up with the other runners and soon he was running behind them.

            He continued running as he still wanted to finish the race. Then, he was forced to stop running and fell. He even vomited in the field. He knew that he had food poisoning. He regretted for buying and eating the food from hawkers by the roadside. He also lost in his favourite sport which is the 100 metres race. It was indeed an experience that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
