English Assessment (Edited)

Right at the end of the street, a new store had just opened. A half-giant lumbered closer to it, feeling dwarfed by its massive size. It was shaped like a large semi-circle that stood on thick, vertical, pale concrete walls. The wind whispered through huge hydraulic bay doors that buzzed open to reveal all the products that lay in store.

 A rich pine scent, with just a hint of kerosene, flowed around the store. Spotting something odd, the half-giant looked at the dusty, rough brown mat at his feet. He let out a small gasp as words started to appear on the mat. 

Welcome Boris, to the brand new aviation-mart, for all your flight-related needs!’ It read. 

Small model F/A-18s screamed past Boris’ ear, two more on its tail. His gaze followed the jets around the vast area of the hanger.

The roof seemed to scrape the sky, providing plenty of space for little toys to flutter about.

The tinkering of hammers striking metal filled his ears as he watched young men perform repairs on rich and expensive aircraft.

Huge crowds filled the many isles of the store, most just looking at the incredible range of products displayed. A few were dressed smartly in black suits and blue ties, quietly whispering comments to their peers. Flashy people dressed in shiny gold and platinum robes strutted around the store with an air of superiority as servants scurried behind, trying to keep pace with their masters. 

Kids’ laughter filled the mood of the hanger, squealing and chasing each other, desperately avoiding people and products. Quickly apologising when an unfortunate kid bumped into an adult gazing at the items.

The warm, humid air brushed across Boris’s face when he slowly wandered around the shop, looking across the aerodrome.

Far at the back, a wall was filled with sneakers that could let you drift above the city. Prominent among those the Air Jordan 69’s gold edition, which was rumoured to go at speeds of up to 420 km/h! 

He navigated his way around the shelves, littered with a wide array of everything to do with flight. Broomsticks of every shape and size hovered on the shelves, from a minuscule twig configured for a bug, to one’s fashioned out of a whole tree trunk. Protective helmets and goggles sat on many racks, filling the nearest isles.

Old fashioned chariots of gold and silver lay among the many soaring treasures, pulled by four magnificent Pegasus that stood munching on the finest hay in the lands. 

Even giant rideable paper planes were available to buy. 

A particularly magnificent Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 stood proudly in the middle of the shop for all to see. The scratches on the paint job only enhanced it’s looks. Tears were brought to Boris’ eyes as he gazed at the marvellous piece of machinery. As he strolled towards the checkout, a large sign blocked his way. ‘Beware, my friend. You can purchase any product, but there is only a chance that you will receive it. If you go ahead, be prepared to lose a fortune!

Aight that should be gud for me. =)

Describing Places

The Woods The last rays of the suns pierced through the canopy, warming the ground, littered with the foliage and lush green moss. Wind gently hissed through the evergreen pines, slowly rocking them from side to side. A variety of birds sing to each other from every tree. Mice ran across the dry ground, the dew long gone from the humid morning. A small rill trickled it’s way through the forest floor, twisting and turning around the roots of the tall, rigid trees. Small, vibrant sapling pushed it’s way towards the ceiling, reaching for the glow of the evening sun.

A massive, towering, green figure trudged across the shrubs and twigs. He headed toward a small shack, smoke rising from a vent in the roof. His face was a mask of rage as he spots rodents and insects, crawling in and on his house. His breathes were shaking as he tried to suppress a shout of rage. The bugs looked at the ogre with a mild annoyance, as they believed they had done nothing wrong. “GET OUT OF ME HOUSE!!!” he yelled.

Sentence Starters

A man was walking through the mall. He ran into his best friend, who was walking the other way. In sync, they pause when they saw each other and began to talk. “How are you?” His friend said. “I’m mostly OK”

The road was filled with the echos of hard steps, coming from a girl running down the road. Running as fast as she could, she took off down the road. The girl was gunned it down the road.

Dust settled on a layer of sand, confined to an area by short wooden walls. A filthy animal digs his hands into the soft, tanned grains of sand. Hard, quick breaths could be heard, results of many minutes of tough, vigorous labour. His older friend was also by his side, helping him. His friend was used to the time-consuming work, and worked much faster than the pale skinned child. But the pale skinned toddler was an intellectual, and had brought the highly efficient CAT 374F L digger to the sandbox, and started using it to dig the sand.

A summers day in Wanaka : Short Story

The radiant sun shone on the people, lying in the sand. Crystal clear water shot out from under the boats, running over the waves of the deep, blue lake. Heat waves traveled across the beach, hitting everything in it’s path.

The unbearable, glaring sun blinded the people lying in the sand, scorching everything that the sun could see. Many tried to take refuge under the shade of trees and building, to no avail. The temperature was a horrifying sight to see, and everyone thought, ‘When will this end!’

The Invasion

The sky glowed a vibrant orange as the sun started to fall below the horizon. Birds chirped and played together near the streams and the peaceful village. Villagers laughed and grinned as they performed their daily tasks. A small castle sat above them to the south, shielded by the alps behind it. The faint clatter of metal against metal could be heard from the village as the region’s brave protectors honed their skills with the sword. Archers flexed their bowstrings, already bored of firing arrow after arrow into the canvas covered wood. I stared at my opponent, drilling into his cold, calculating eyes. We circled round each other waiting for the first move. I struck first. Quickly, I stepped to the right and swung an underhand blow.

The soldier stopped it with a loud clang and said, “Too easy! I saw that coming from a mile away!”

But my intention was not to strike him but to test his defenses, and I immediately saw his weaknesses. He held the sword too tight, and I knew with just one hard hit would knock it out of his hand. He was nervous, not doubt because of my reputation. I did not want to tease him any longer, and moved in to finish him off.

I feinted another underhand and put all my strength into an overhand swing, slamming it into the ground. I lifted the sword to his throat and stopped. The soldier felt the prick of the sword and a single drop of blood run down his chest. He stepped away, the fear evident on his face.

“Too easy?” I said smugly. “2 hits was all it took”, and I reached out to shake his hand.

Just as he raised his hand, a young boy ran into the middle of the training ground. He tried to speak, but his ragged gasping breaths made his word incomprehensible. I waited until he had caught his breath and asked him, “What brings you here?”

“The Dreadnoughts, they’re here!” He gasped.

“What! Where! How! Where was the warning signals! I yelled.

“They were overrun in seconds. They had no chance. I only survived because…” he wiped a dirty ripped sleeve over his foggy eyes. “Because I ran. I left them. I saw them die. The only reason they’re not here now is because that was just the scouting party. Their main force is a day or two away at best.”

He collapsed into a fit of sobs as he recalled what had happened just hours before. I realised he would tell no more, and turned to the governor.

“We have no chance sir. Our only option is to run. We can hold them off for an hour, but we are too small. You must warn the king of this, or our kingdom will be doomed.” Not finished btw might do it at home coz this is pretty fun =).

The Visitor

Snap…Snap…Click…The sound of a hundred cameras filled the air. Large crowds gathered to silently stare, wide-eyed and the massive beast. Looming over the people, the giant automation glared towards the horizon, bright lights on his body illuminating the night sky. His head scraped the sky and massive machine gun, similar to the MG 17 rested on his shoulder. But the fearsome android didn’t move. He stood as still as a statue, waiting for something to come. All of a sudden, every head on the ground snapped towards the horizon, where a horrible, ugly and disfigured monster scrambled over the mountain top. He screamed a challenge at the monster load enough to destroy every the entire town. The automation started to run at the monster. Slowly, but gaining speed by the second. He drew a massive sword from his belt, whispering as it came smoothly out of the sheath. The monster roared again and charged at the monster. they quickly closed the distance and jumped at each other. The automation, assisted by two huge boosters on each leg, had the high ground of the monster and quickly thrust down at the head of the monster. At the last second, the monster dodged the fatal stroke, but it still made a cut in the monsters back. The monster quickly got up and dump-trucked the automation. The creaks and groans of the metal bending and snapping was audible for miles around. The enlarged MG 17 started spinning the spit 5 M ordnance at the monster ripping the skin to shreds, but it seemed to have angered the beast, not kill it. Blood poured out of the monster, the white of the bones visible for all to see.The monster seemed to laugh with joy as he leaped on the automation and started ripping out the parts of the body. The automation, which had seemed invincible at the start, looked defeated and destroyed. With extreme effort, the robot shook the monster off his back and picked his sword back up. He was missing half an arm and was so damaged it seemed like a miracle that he could stand. He faced down the monster and swung his sword with all his might and missed! The point of the sword sunk into the ground. Leaping into the air, the monster prepared to deal the final blow that would finish off the robot. But as he did that, the robot knelt on one knee. “With the power of the gods, I sacrifice myself to defeat the beast. Give me the power to defeat this beast!” the robot said. And with the last of his energy. He made a circle with his thumb and forefinger. The explosion instantly destroyed everything within a 100 mile radius, and the shock wave flew around the globe. When the dust cleared, the robot saw that he had won, and the light in his eyes slowly flickered out.

Point Of View

Task 1 : I, my, he, she, they , you, me , us, them.

Task 2 : Mine, theirs

Task 3 : 1. 3rd person 2. 3rd person 3. 1st person 4. 3rd person 5. 1st person

Task 4: I trudge slowly down the lonesome road, looking at the abandoned houses and homes. A solitary tear rolls down my cheek. I long for the days when this road was busy and exciting, filled with cars and trucks. I long for the days where the kids were safe to play outside, laughing in the gaze of the shining sun. I long for what was my home. But I cannot change time, and must live with what is. A loner, in the middle of nowhere.

Task 5: A lonely figure walks down the road, shoulders sagging with exhaustion. She stops for a moment, and takes in the desolate, rotten houses. A single tear is visible. She is alone. Or that is what she believes. Invisible to the naked eye, a huddles, skinny boy stares at the person, not knowing if they are friend or foe. He held himself back from rushing out to the person, for he remembered what he had brought upon this loving community the last time he did.
