Example

Growing up as a teenager in Melaka was really exciting because there were so many back lanes and kampung roads to zoom around on my motorbike. I enjoy living a dangerous life and my hero at that time was evil Kenevil, the best motorbike stuntman ever!. One day my friends wanted to make my dream of being a motorbike stuntman a reality. My heart was pumping fast as we scouted for a suitable place to perform the stunt. We soon came across an abandoned housing project and quickly assembled a makeshift ramp with pieces of zinc and planks that would plummet my motorbike off the ground and 5 meters into the air. I could hardly breathe. I was sweating bullets but I was not afraid. My dream was about to come true. One of the boys shouted that everything was ready. I revved up my fathers old Yamaha bike with all my might! The sound was deafening. I shifted into first gear and off I went! As I approached the ramp, I felt my heart in my throat and I couldnt utter a sound! For some reason, I quickly closed my eyes and I could feel my bike in the air. It was an amazing feeling! But then, garvaity took over and suddenly O realised we didnt plan how I would land. To my shocking surprise, I saw my bike heading towards a small herd of cows. I panicked! My bike fell like a ton of bricks and landed right in the middle of the herd. The bike skidded and I was thrown off the bike right into a big fat cow! The cow was as shocked as me and started to run helter skelter! Unfortunately, it trampled right on my butt! I screamed in pain and my friends came running to my rescue. They were terrified. I could hardly stand and they carried me all the way home. Luckily my dad was home and rushed me to the hospital. The doctor said I was lucky the cow trampled on my butt and not the other way around. So it was a lesson learned. We shouldnt try dangerous stunts without proper supervision or equipment and Im glad to say I have less dangerous dreams now!
