Question

Here's one sample paragraph. Yours, of course, will be very different. My accident changed my life. It happened one night last May. I was driving on Givens Lane, just past the chicken farm. It had rained, the road was slick, and I was driving too fast. Suddenly, a truck pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes, but I did not stop in time. My Ford crashed into the rear of the truck. Fortunately, I was wearing my seat belt. Neither the truck driver nor I was hurt, but the accident heavily damaged my car. Since that night, I pay careful attention to road conditions. I have learned that an accident happens in a heartbeat. Action verbs: changed, happened, driving, rained, driving, pulled, slammed, stop, crashed, wearing, damaged, pay, learned, happens Helping verbs: was, had, was, did, was, have

Answer 1

I was just learning to drive a bicycle; I was in 4th grade then. I just borrowed the bike from my classmate; and so, I had limited time. When I found out that I could already balance myself, I pedaled with excitement ignoring the downhill slope. I pressed the brake but it did not stop. I was already in panic and I did not know what to do. So, I jumped off the bike and fell on some rocky dirt. Amazingly, the bike was not damaged. I had buises on my arms and legs but I did not cry. Nobody saw me and I felt so proud of myself. Since then, I became more confident; the way I look at life has changed. Through this experience, I have learned that I can take care of myself and I should be more careful. I have to be accountable for everything I do.
