Sample Essay

Cases of snatch thefts are reported almost daily in

our local dailies. In some incidences innocent lives have

been lost due this unspeakable act.I recently was an eye

witness to this dastardly act. The horrifying incident

unfolded right in front of my eyes as I was walking to

school for my football practice last week.

The football practice was scheduled at 8.00 in the

morning.On that fateful morning, I decided to walk to

school instead of taking the bus as I normally did. As I

was striding along the brick pavement, my eyes caught

Miss Siti, my neighbour, standing on the opposite site of

the road waiting to catch a bus to work. She was

gingerly holding a big brown handbag in her hand.I

waved to her and she waved back to me with an angelic

smile.I looked at my watch, it was 7.oo a.m.

As I strode past her, I saw two men on a motorbike

riding slowly towards her.Both were wearing full face

helmets. I didn't give much thought about it and just

moved on.Suddenly, without warning, they zoomed past

her snatching her handbag in the process.Miss Siti fell

down onto the pavement. She was shocked but managed

to scream for help. It all happened so fast.I gave chase

but the thieves managed to escape. They just sped

off into the horizon.

I quickly dashed to Miss Siti's aid. There was a look

of bewilderment on her pained face. I helped to check

on her.Fortunately, only her hand and leg were bruised

but overall she was alright. I immediately called and

informed her father about the incident.He drove there

as fast as lightning and took her home. Later, they went

to the police station to make a report.The barbaric action

of the snatch thieves just made me angry. At the same

time, sad when I thought about all the unfortunate

victims who had fallen prey to them.

In order to prevent from becoming a victim of

snatch theft, people need to be more careful. For

example, when they are alone at a bus stop or walking

back home alone- alertness plays an important role in

ensuring their safety.In addition, the government should

put up more street lights so the streets and dark alleys

can be bright and safe for the public.Lastly, I strongly

believe police presence in and around housing areas

would boost public confidence whereby their safety can

be assured by the police.

Ways to Maintain A Good Health

Ways to Maintain A Good Health

In this era of globalism, many people have

become materialistic.They show more priority to money than
health and ignore the importance of maintaining a good
health.This ignorance leads to many diseases and illnesses. Actually,a good health is the
utmost important aspect to live a
healthy life.They are several ways on how we can maintain a
good health.
First and foremost,we should do exercise at lease
twice a week.This is to keep us active and healthy.We will
perspire when we do exercise and this will help to excrete
toxins from our body.Exercising will also help our
cardiovascular system to function well.As the saying
goes,prevention is better than cure.We can avoid from being
a couch potato through exercise and this will prevent us
from becoming obese.
Secondly,we should eat a balanced diet which
consists of all classes of food in right amount.A balanced
diet will provide nutrients and energy needed by our body.We
should consume more vegetables and fruits.We should also
consume carbohydrates in right amount.We should follow 'eat
to live' concept but not 'live to eat' concept.We should
reduce the consumption of fatty,salty and sweet food.
Besides that,we should drink lots of water.An
ordinary man should drink at least eight glasses of
water a day. Water helps in regulating our body temperature.Water
is also important in maintaining blood concentration and
transporting blood to all parts of the body.We should also
drink water to prevent constipation.
Apart from that,we should have friends
around.Friends are the one who can entertain us when we are
depressed.Friends will also keep us accompanied and avoid us
from feeling lonely.We can relieve stress by hanging out
with our friends but we should choose friends rationally.As
the saying goes,a friend in need is a friend indeed.
In addition to this,we should have enough
rest.We should sleep at least eight hours a day.This is to
keep our mind clear and fresh.We can also avoid from falling
asleep at our school or working place.Study has showed than
insufficient rest will lead to kidney disease and this explains the
importance of enough rest.As the saying goes,early to bed
early to rise,makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise.
Last but not least,we should do
regular medical checkup.We can treat disease or illness
early if we detect them early.Some diseases such as cancer
and kidney stones could be cured if we detect them early.As the
saying goes,a stitch in time saves nine.Regular checkup will
also ensure our body healthy.
In a nutshell,a good health is required to
live happily on this world.As the saying goes,health is
wealth.We need to follow these steps to maintain a good
health.
