He
(Subject)

play
(Verb)
hit
(Verb)
slam
(Verb)

the door.
(Object)

Sentences containing S, V, and O are consider complete sentences. Most student

cannot perform well in writing because they failed to make complete sentences.
For instance,

- I play every evening.

This sentence is consider incomplete because the object is omitted. It is
suitable to state what to play in the sentence to make the reader have a
clearer image of your writing.
- Eating the cake alone.
This sentence is incomplete because there isnt a subject to indicate who is
actually eating the cake alone.

I put out my hand in my pocket and pulled out

Snowflake

It was a Sunday afternoon. I was on my way to the airport to drop off

my little sister. It was her very first time flying all by herself, and she
had been gripping my hand tightly the whole car ride. Her other hand
was clutching her pink bunny rabbit, Snowflake. When we arrived at the
airport, she hugged me tightly. We helped her check her bags and went
with her to the gate. Goodbye! we cried, as her plane took to the
skies.
Missing her already, I put my hand in my sweatshirt pocket and pulled
out Snowflake. I gasped. Panicked, I quickly alerted the rest of my
family. It was her first time flying by herself! What would she do
without the pink rabbit that she took everywhere?
She had first gotten Snowflake when she was very young. In all my
memories of her, I never picture her without it. We had spent the whole
day at an amusement park, and we were wearily heading back to our car
when she spotted it. A small pink bunny, dangling from the hand of the
4

ring toss operator. She spent nearly 15 dollars in her effort, but in the
end, she won the bunny. Ever since then, she and Snowflake have been
inseparable.
When she got back from her trip, everyone had prepared words of
sympathy to console her. Imagine our surprise when she announced that
she had meant to leave it! After hearing her story of slipping Snowflake
into my pocket while we hugged, I swelled with pride.
You shouldnt be so surprised, she said. She reminded me, After all,
Im a big 7-year-old now.

Shark Attack!
The ocean was calm as glass. Surfers bobbled on the surface of the
water like rubber duckies. Waiting for the next wave, I was bored out of
my mind. Little did I know that I would soon experience the most terrifying
episode in my life.
Impatient, I paddled out to the open water, further and further away from
the other surfers. I neglected their warning calls of Dude, you are going
too far out! I tenaciously wanted to catch the next big wave before
everyone else.
Soon, the other surfers were black dots on the ocean. The families on the
beach became indistinguishable specs. I looked towards the horizon and
could read the names of the cargo ships at sea. I also noticed that a gray
dorsal fin was rapidly headed my way.

Laying face down on my surfboard, I paddled as fast as I could towards

the shore. My arms became twin steamship wheels that propelled me
towards the white beach. I could now make out the bodies of the other
surfers in the distance, their faces painted with trepidation.
A bite! The sea predator took a chomp at my surfboard and left me a
jagged memento. Thinking that my feet would be the casualty of his next
assault, I did something that I later realized was foolhardy: I stood up on
my surfboard. I soon realized the imprudence of my decision and
expected to topple like a Jenga tower right into the sharks welcoming
jaws.
However, I found myself erect as a redwood tree. Both my feet were
planted on the board as I felt myself ascending. I looked around me and
did not find any sign of my attacker. Instead, I was on the crest of a
mountain of water, looking down at the other surfers, their mouths agape.
Instantly, terror turned into ecstasy. I was riding a skyscraper of a wave,
the shark attack a distant memory. This series of unexpected events
turned out to be auspicious after all. It was a pleasant surprise.
