Mock Examination 2011 Paper 1
Question number: 1
Title: Write a story which includes the words, “I was shocked when I saw…”
It was a piping hot Sunday morning. I needed to unwind from all the stress I have had lately from this week. So, I decided to take a jog just fairly running around the perimeter of the neighbourhood. On my way out, I met a few of my neighbours and greeted them.
Lately I haven’t been sleeping well—maybe it was just work or my personal business. I erased the feeling of guilt and uncanny thinking. The longer I jogged, the more relief starts piling in. I decided to lengthen my jog and set off to the playground; which was abandoned years ago due to its lack of support of the swing sets, monkey bars and slides. At first, I was expecting it to be some run down attraction. I came to a halt, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was shocked when I saw a corspe on the ground. Her skin was snow white; eyes were wide open and blood was smeared everywhere. I knew her. And I know just who murdered her.
Just by luck, I brought my phone then dialled the police station. I did not leave any stone unturned when I was giving all the details. The murderer was one of my workers who got fired because of his short-temper. The detective I conversed with had a lot of ‘spunk’. She assured me everything will be settled in an orderly manner.
“Don’t leave town until this case is closed,” she made herself clear.
