Once upon a time,there was a wolf.The wolf is actually me.Let me tell you my personality.I am a 11 years old which is actually 62 years old in human years.I extremely hate the colour red as it reminds me of anger.Each time I see anything in the colour red,I will go and rip it out.To make things worst,I have not eaten for days.
I tried to hunt for my food but I'm too slow and old.I would do anything for food.I'm really famished.
One day,after a few hours of seacrhing for food,I saw a little girl.I mean no harm to her but what I saw really made me angry.She was wearing a red cloak.I went there to try and ripping her apart there while she was picking some flowers.However,I realised that if I rip her apart there,there will be blood everywhere and when people see it,they will come and hunt me down.I acted like a gentlemen infront of her and I found out that she will be visiting her grandmother.She went off.I took a shortcut to her grandmother's house and when I saw the girl's grandmother,she looked delightfull to eat.I gobbled her up.I found a clothing that was really comfortable so I wore it.A few minutes later,the little girl came knocking.
"It's little RED riding hood"she said.
She let herself in and thought I was her grandmother.She asked me a lot of questions and I tried to cover up.She asked me that why I had really big teeth and I felt insulted.So I got up and chased her.She ran out of the house and went to woodsman.The man grabbed me and made me spit out the girl's grandmother.It felt really disgusting.
I woke up in a house and I could remember what had happen after I vomited out the grandmother but my head hurt.I was being kept as a pet to the man who made me spit out the human.My life was better there as I was given food daily and I do not have to hunt for it.

Confessions of a Fighter
There I was,training for an up-coming competition which was actually my first one.I was practicing my kicks as I heard that was the key to keep your opponent a safe distance away from you.My coach,Coach Tan,went up to me and asked me whether I was ready and whether I was confident enough to participate.I have to admit that I was extremely nervous and scared that I would get hurt badly.My feelings were getting the best of me and it started to show in my training.My coach realised that I was disturbed so he went up to me and told me not to think of it as a competition but as a regular training.
"Fight with your heart.Control your emotions,"said my coach.
I felt more calm after that little talk that I had.I was able to concentrate and get my head in the game.The days passed and the competition grew nearer.I trained harder each day and built up my confidence but little did I expect that I was going to feel extremely nervous on the day of the competition.
"Welcome to No Boundaries Fightquest.100 participant,10 arena but only 1 winner"announce the host of the competition.
I was in the boys locker room,locking up my stuff in the locker given to me.There was other participant in the room,talking.They looked intermidating but I was not going to show my fear for them.They seemed friendly and wished me the best of luck in the competition as I did the same for them.
There was a board and on it was all the participant's name,being placed into group.The winner for each group were to face off in arena 1,2,3,4 and 5.I was in group 7 and I could not wait to get in arena to face off my first ever opponent.
I was devastated by the end of the day as I did not win in my group which means I would not qualify for the next round.I was upset but I started thinking of what my coach said to me.It calm me down and I showed my congratulate the other participant for a job well done
"Remember,fight with your heart and control your emotions"

Task 2!
The girls were excited as they waited for the results.
-The girls had work extremely hard for this competition and their expectation were so high.The judges had said that it was a performance worth watching.They were competing against their rival school and they were sure that they had done a better job but you can never too sure.The moment they had been expecting were coming.They could not wait.Arms were tugged and heads were high.The judges held the trophy.Soon after,the room was filled with screams of joy and thumps from all the jumping the girls had done.
She sat heart-broken on her bed.
-Tears rolled down her face.She hugged her pillow so tightly and scream her pain into the pillow.She kept thinking of the good memories that she had share with the guy.She could not bear the pain of losing him.She was told that she didn't care for him as much as he did when they first started dating.She realised her mistakes and tried to apologize but the guy did not want to reply her messages.She felt her whole world came crashing down on her.Everything she does will remind her of the guy.Everywhere she goes,she can see a memory him and everything that they did together.She just could not bear the pain.Her last option was to seat in her room and hope that the guy would accept her back.

Task 1B.Failure
What are the pros and cons of failing?
Failure refers to the state of not meeting your target and it's likely known as the opposite of success.Failure is unavoidable.No one will always win.However,can failure lead to success?How can we be overcome failure?There are examples of failure leading to success but there are people who cannot end their streak of failing.
Can failure lead to success?Of course!We just have to persevere and not to give up hope.One good example is National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).When the Columbia space shuttle broke apart in 2003,no one expected that it will lead to a success. NASA astronaut Dr. Charles Camarda said that where there is failure, there is knowledge and understanding that doesn't come with success.
If a man were to succeed in everything he does,he would not know what to do or expect when he fails.This proves that failing is not entirely bad.We can all learn from our mistakes and improve ourselves to do better the next time.As you have probably heard,history repeats itself, you would know what to do and how to handle the situation if you are about to fail again.
To some people,failure is a step to success but to others,it is a sign that they will always fail which is not true.These people have low self/moral esteem and they will feel negative about themselves when they fail.They give up hope easily and would not want to try again.An example is the NTU student who commited suicide after stabbing his professor.The student failed to complete his final year project and negative thought came to his mind.He was not confident and felt down.This goes to how that failure is a test of your mind control.How you take failure is entirely up to you.
A minority of people take failure as their "luck".They live their lives based on luck.Each time they fail,they will put aside and think no less of it.They would not bother to learn from their mistake and they will continue to make that mistake.This people are what you normally call gamblers.When they fail to win the prize money,they will blame it on luck and try again without veiwing about what went wrong.They will try and try until they succeed but once they succeed,they will gain at a loss.For example,a gambler spent $2 to win $10 and if they fail,they will keep spending $2 until they get their $10 but once they make $10,they might have spend $30 to $40 at least.This is a rough example.
Therefore,failure is a step to success if you learn from your mistakes but failure can also be a tragic history that repeats itself.The only thing that can determine which road you choose is you and no one else.Others are like barking dogs,you will hear them but you won't listen.So only you have the power to choose.
