TASK 2 : WRITING

Last Saturday evening, my siblings and I went to a carnival. We walked there as the
location of the carnival was just near our house.

When we arrived at the carnival, my youngest sister wanted to ride on a big elephant toy
and she asked me and my younger brother to join her. I asked my younger brother, we dont
want to be stupid, do we? We were big enough to ride on it. Lets just let her rode it by
herself. But my younger brother did not listen to me. They were trying to make me joined them.
I thought that were they actually serious? I was matured enough to ride on that toy. My
younger brother said that our father also make it enjoyable too when they were in a
playground.

When I wanted to leave them alone, I took a minute to think. Its a pity for them if I just
left them by themselves. So, I went back to their place. I tried to ride on that toy too and tried to
make them happy but however, handling this project was intense. I was not excited after all. I
was busy thinking of my tasks that were given by my teacher. It was a series of tasks
designed to test my strategic thinking, tactical planning and quick reactions. The tasks
were so difficult.

I was also thinking about the competition that I had participated last two days in my
school. I recalled my teachers words, which was ,this competition really pushes you in
terms of how you work with different people, work in a team and with time constraints.
