Tramp Turned Investment Genius - anemded

I was a tramp in Sweden and I was poor before. I picked cardboards and cans to earn my living. I ate the leftovers of fast food shops. I used the money earned to invest and I became rich. When I was a child, I always went to the public library and read finance newspapers and books about investments. I read for about fifteen years and I became an investment genius. Although I was rich, my family did not know about this. It was because they did not see me often. They only visited me one or two days every year.

.

My cousin, Johnny, always visited and chatted with me. He always bought some fruits, snacks and flowers to me. I was very happy to meet him too. He always told me not to eat too much fast food, it was unhealthy for me and I would have heart disease. But I did not believe him and kept eating the leftovers of fast food shops. So I suffered from heart disease. I regretted it and I thought I would die. So I wrote a will to leave my estate to Johnny. After one month, I had a heart attack and died.

.

I am now dead and have become a ghost. I am very worried that my family would know about the will and that Johnny would be killed. I was very shocked when my uncle said he had the right to my estate. I was very angry about it, but I thought my uncle could not be successful. Johnny did not know what happened and he thought I left everything for my uncle, so he agreed to share the estate.

.

I was very disappointed and wanted to kill my uncle. He loved to gamble very much and always used his wife’s money to pay his debt. Although I am a ghost, I cannot touch anything in the human world. So my ghost friends helped me to scare him. One of my ghost friends called Ben was a casino staff in the ghosts’ world and he could take luck away from people and ghosts.

.

Ben made my uncle unlucky. My uncle always lost money in the casino. One day, my uncle was very sad for deceiving Johnny and gave all the money back to him. He never gambled again and worshipped me sometimes. I never disturbed him again.

My money

I was a tramp at Sweden and I was poor before. I caught some cardboard and cans to keep my live. I ate the leftover of fast food shop to be full. I used the money to invest and I became rich. When I was small, I always went to public library and read some newspaper of invest and book about invest. I watched it for about fifteen years and I became an investment genius. Although I was rich, my family did not know this happen. It is because they did not see me often and only one or two days.

My cousin, Johnny always found and talked with him. He always bought some fruits, snacks and flowers to me. I was very happy to meet him too. He always told me did not eat many fast food shop, it was not heavy and would have rheumatic heart disease. But I did not believe him and kept to eat the leftover of fast food shop. So I got the rheumatic heart disease. I was very regret and I thought I will die. So I wrote a will and wanted to give the estate for him. After one month of I wrote the will, my heart attacked and I died.

Now, I was died and became a ghost. I was very worry my family learned this thing and scared he would be killed. I was very unbelievable, because my uncle said he had the estate right. I was very angry of it, but I thought my uncle could not be success. My cousin did not know what happen and he thought I gave the estate right for him, so my cousin agreed equally got the estate.

I was very disappointed of it and wanted to kill my uncle. He was much loved to bet and he always used his wife’s money to pay one's debt. Although I was a ghost, but ghost could not catch anything in world of mortals. So I got my ghost friends to made him scared for live.

Where are the Teachers? - amended

Yesterday was Alan’s birthday, but he did not get any presents. He was very angry now. He put some frogs, mice and cockroaches in the desk drawers of all the teachers in his school. All the teachers were extremely angry. So they announced to the students: “Anyone who did this should find the discipline teacher right now!”

Alan was very scared and went back home quickly after school. When he went to school the next day, he saw that many students were very happy, because all the teachers went on a strike. Alan was very happy too, because they were free. I was very happy too, because I did not need to do any homework.

When we went into the classroom, the prefect told us to be teachers ourselves. Ben was the best student in our class, and he taught us English. Ken taught us Chinese. Johnny taught us Art. Peter taught us P.E. Jenny taught us Music. Cindy taught us Math. Jacky taught us General Knowledge. Jeff taught us Computer and Wendy taught us Religion.

We were very interested in what our friends taught us. I was the lunch distributor. There wasn’t much to do. Our recess lasted for two hours and all the tests were not very difficult. We played basketball and the girls played badminton. Ken and Ben played table tennis and Peter and Johnny played football.

Alan always played pranks on other classmates, and everyone did not like him. There were no teachers to tell him he was wrong. He did not get equal treatment in class anymore and he became lonely.

After one month, Alan was very sad for playing a prank on the teachers. He knew the teachers were very important. So he used Facebook to tell all the teachers he teased. He hoped they would go back to school. Alan’s report card grades were not very good, so his family was very worried and wanted him to change schools.

Although the school did not have any teachers, the students taught better than the teachers. The school became Band One. The teachers went back after two months and they were very sad to leave the students. Alan cried and he felt sorry for teasing them. His marks became good again.

Oral Presentation - Dust Storm - amended

When I was twenty-six years old, I went to a desert in China. I went there with my friends and we planned to stay for about one month. We were very happy there, because there were many animals for us to study. However, China had been desertified and there were many dust storms. The storms had given us a lot of trouble. We dug a hole to live underground.

The hole was very safe and we could continue our trip. When the storm left, we went out of the hole and saw the sky turned yellow. We were very surprised when we went back to Hong Kong because of the air pollution. The air pollution had become very serious because of the dust storm and it had broken Hong Kong’s record.

I always went to the circus when I was small. I wanted to be a juggler and famous in England. My ancestors were jugglers at the circus too. They were very famous in the UK. I was very lucky to be able to study in the Oxford University. My friends and I set up a circus. We always traveled to other countries, like the USA, Hong Kong, and France. I was happy to be a circus owner and a famous juggler in England

Our circus was called “Welcome to Our Country.” There were many people working in the circus. Ben and Cindy were the jugglers. Jacky was the animal trainer and he taught our lions to do some acts. “Baby”, the leader of the lions, was very obedient to Jacky. Ken was the clown in the circus and he was very kind and helpful. So many children loved him very much. Tom was the magician and he always performed magic tricks. Jenny rode on an elephant in the show and she always played with the dogs. Kenny and I were the leaders of the trapezes’ team.

However, things were turning bad. The World War II had started and everyone escaped to other countries. Our circus had gone to another country too. Business was bad, because many people did not have enough money and time to watch the show. They needed to go to safe places and had no time to go to the circus. I was very worried, because if I did not have a new idea, the circus would close down.

My friend had an idea: Our circus went to the army and performed the show to the soldiers. There were many soldiers and they were very bored. When we went inside, they were very happy. The commander gave us a lot of money. They fought the war happily.

The army was fought hard, so they won the war and the war ended. Our circus had received the “Good Citizen Award” too. My circus was very famous in the world and made everyone happy!

Good Bye, World Trade Centre-amended

It was Kenny’s birthday today, so he didn’t need to go to work. When Kenny was shopping with his wife, he saw an airplane crashing into the World Trade Centre and he ran there. He was a chief of firemen and went to the fire engine to wear a protective gear and help the people in the building.

When Kenny wanted to go inside, there was a second airplane crashing into the building and the 89th floor was on fire. There were many firemen inside and could not go out. Kenny was very worried and went inside quickly. When he went inside, there were rubbles falling down and blocking the exit. Kenny avoided the rubbles, but he fell on the floor. He saw his other team members going to the back door and he went after them too.

Suddenly, Kenny heard a little girl cry loudly. Kenny turned back and saw the girl. He wanted to help the girl, but he may die. Kenny’s team members, Ken, shouted, “Kenny, I am coming, help the girl!” So Kenny ran to help the girl carefully. When they wanted to leave the World Trade Centre, he saw many rubbles flying down.
