1. Personal Recount: a type of text that aims to tell about the
author's personal experience.
Coming Late to School
Last Wednesday, I came late to my school because I played PlayStation
until 2.00 am at night. Because of that, I woke up late.
I woke up at about 6.30 am and the class would begin at 7.00 am. I ran to the
bathroom to take a bath. I usually had breakfast after taking a bath, but on
that day, I did not do that.
I always went to school on my motorcycle. But on that day, I forgot where
I put the key. So, I went to school by public transportation. It made me take
a long time. I arrived at school at 7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my
teacher standing in front of the class to teach. I entered my class and of
course, my teacher was angry with me because I came late.
It was my bad experience and I hoped I would not do that again.

Man Charged with Pushing Old Woman Down Bus
The man who pushed an old woman down a bus along Upper Thomson
Road has been charged in court.
Twenty-five-year-old Ong Kok Hao is accused of hurting 76-year-old
Hwang Li Lian Nee Lye on bus service number 167 at about 3 pm on June 5 this
year. Ong is said to have used his right hand to push the old woman on her back,
causing her to fall on the steps of the bus. The incident was captured in a two-
minute video and uploaded on YouTube. The video shows Ong suddenly flying
into a rage at Madam Hwang for pressing the bell at the last minute along Upper
Thomson Road. A shouting match then ensued and during the heated spat, Ong
threatened to slap the woman, before pushing her down the bus.
Ong's lawyer Eddie Koh will be making representations to the court.
The case will next be mentioned in December.
