The ship went down and everyone were drowned.I was the only one who managed to jump into the sea.I clung to a plank in the sea for several hours till I was washed up on a desert island.
I slept on the beach for a long time——I can’t remember how long.When I woke up I was hungry and thirsty so I decided to explore the island. It was uninhabited,but I found plenty of fruit which had fallen from the trees.I lived on coconuts and pineapples and there was plenty of spring water.I tried to hurt animals(small pigs or creatures) with my bare hands,but failed to catch anything. So I spent my days swimming and lying in the sun.
One afternoon while I was lying on the beach as usual,I saw a ship on the horizon.I signaled with my white shirt and shouted as loudly as I could.Fortunately,someone on the ship saw me and I was rescued.Of cause,I was please go back to civilization,but I was very sorry to leave this island paradise.

Composition 2
The first fight between H&M ,after a quarrel,was held at Stilton and attracted a lot of attention. At the time, H was the most eminent boxer in England and had many supporters. But the young M had his supporters,too.
The atmosphere before the fight was electric. Half of the people there made bets on H, the other half bet on M. When the two fighters entered the ring, there were a lot of shouting and cheering.
The referee called both fighters to the middle of the ring, spoke to them and the fight started. At first, both men were very wary. After all, this was a fight between teacher and pupil, so they knew very well what the Other could do —— and they were fighting with bare fists. Each of the boxers fought well for most of the match,but in the end H was too strong and too experienced for the young M. He knocked him down once: M got up. He knocked him down again, and although M tried to get up, he just couldn't. The referee counted ten and that was the end of the match.
When M got up, he was very angry, but eventually congratulated H. However, his defeat made him determined to go on and fight his teacher again so that he could finally become champion.

Summary writing
The aristocrat was sitting in his cell when the gaoler entered and handed him the letter——a blank sheet of paper. The aristocrat looked at it, squinted and said: ‘The light is dim. Read me the letter.’ He handed the letter back to the gaoler, who said: ‘The light is indeed dim. I’ll get my glasses.’ He left the stage and returned with a pair of glasses and the real letter, which he read to the prisoner.
Composition1
Six short weeks
A couple of years ago , a new play called The World Tomorrow was going to shown in Our local theatre. There was a great deal Of advertising for it and there was considerable public interest, mainly , I think , because the cast contained a number of famous actors and actresses .
Most actors and actresses are usually nervous on the first night of any play , and no one really knows what can go wrong or how the audience will react. In the case of The World Tomorrow , no one forgot their lines ,but the play was not well received. It was a comedy, so it was supposed to be funny , but nobody laughed——not in the right places anyway——and people even walked out before the end. The cast suspected that they would get bad reviews the following day ,and they did. One review described it
