    Very descriptive! :) Some things don't make sense like "I was woking late the day I got kidnapped". Overall, sounds very interesing! Maybe look up new words and replace the simple words so you won't be repeating the same word over and word, it shows the examiner you know your verbs etc which will give marks! :)


    14/20 .. that's a B, which is good!

    okay can you give me an example of where i made those mistakes? and how does i was working late the day i got kidnapped doesn't make sense? I need to understand why its wrong so i can fix it :) thanks for help

    It makes sense but i think the problem is Arnie. Anyway I think it's pretty good the only problem was that I didn't read the full essay ;)

    My teacher trained us to be stricter than the actual examiners .. so don't blame me if you didn't get an A! ;):D The essay is good standard, so don't worry.

    When making endings, never go with the unrealistic "happily ever after". The examiners aren't kids anymore :p so make your ending interesting and unique. I bet most girls will have a happy ending in their essays and boys will have a tragic death as their ending.

    If you left it at 'I was working late that day' then it would have much more suspense as the reader needs to read on to find out what happened you.
    The little bit you wrote, I enjoyed.


    ...and then I woke up and it was all a dream. :D
