A fire accident I have witnessed Describe a fire accident I have witnessed Fires are mainly caused by carelessness on the part of the occupants of a house, factory, office or a shop. Sometimes, fire can be caused by electrical short circuit or lightning. Last week, I visited my friend in Jurong. There I had the opportunity to witness a terrible fire which gutted almost the entire row of small factories. It was around 8 p.m., my friend and I were practicing our guitars for the forthcoming music competition. Suddenly, we were attracted by shouts and sirens. They were also cries of distress. We rushed out of the house and saw a huge fire engulfing the factory situated some four hundred meters from our block. With horror filled eyes, my friend and I ran towards the place. We saw a plastic factory on fire and the workers were helpless. By then, a big crowd had gathered and nobody could do anything but to express sorrow. Within minutes of our arrival at the scene, several fire engines arrived. It was a tragic event which I cannot easily forget. I saw fear and panic everywhere. The firemen were engaged in a heroic battle with raging fire. They seemed helpless as the jets of water from the hoses were not able to control the fire. The firemen struggled for nearly six hours before the fire was subdued. By then nearly four factories were completely gutted. I will never forget this fire incident. An embarrassing moment Talk about an embarrassing moment. I could recall an event which happened four years ago. My father gave me a hundred dollars, for the good grades I scored in my P.S.L.E To enjoy it, I invited some of my closest friends to a restaurant for a meal. At the restaurant, I asked my friends to order as much as they liked. The food was delicious, the service was efficient and the food was served fast. All of us began to eat. We ate, talked and laughed at the jokes we made in school. After we had finished our food, the waiter brought us the bill. I opened my purse to take out the money. To my surprise, I found my money missing. Only then I realized that I had left the money at home. I was in such a hurry that I had forgotten to put the money in my purse. I wanted to borrow the money from my friends, but none of them could help me. They had brought only enough money for bus fare. I told the waiter that I had forgotten to bring my money. The waiter was very angry and told me to see the manager. The manager was a kind gentleman. He allowed me to go home and get the money, but I had to leave my identity card with him. I immediately telephoned my sister and told her to bring the money to the restaurant. Ever since that day I have stopped patronizing the restaurant. I am afraid that some of the waiters might remember my face. It was the most embarrassing moment in my life. .
