Competition Writing

Waking up to my alarm at 5:00 am in the morning, as I step out of bed I feel the rush of excitement flow throughout my body. I think what I need to do before I get in the car to Whitianga, “ah! Yes my hairbrush and toothbrush how could I forget” I say inside my mind as I walk towards my bathroom gathering my stuff. 

At 5:30 and I’m on the road to Whitianga, I lay my head against my pillow and listen to my parents talking as I fall off to sleep. I wake up to listen to music and see signs and a small town in Whitianga. I was filled with excitement while staring out my window to view the shops and cafe food I’ve been craving for almost 2 hours. I jump out the car stretching my legs and arms as I’ve been sitting for hours.

 

Once we arrived at the hotel I was so exhausted and had to wait an additional 20 minutes for my parents to get our room keys and view the place. Finally! I jump into the bed that makes me feel like it’s been waiting for me! I then was rudely interrupted as we had to go shopping to get some food but that’s one of the things I’m good at so I wasn’t too angry about that. 

 

The next day I woke up early and rumbled through my bag to find my outfit I would wear for that day. As I changed ,brushed my hair and teeth I went to ask my parents what we were doing today and when I heard what we were doing I was so excited. Once the time came I was so happy I got ready and hoped into the car. Once we got there I waited patiently until our boat came, I hoped on and looked at the sting rays flying through the water. Once we got out far enough we started going fast and I mean really fast. Soon after we slowed down and looked at some of the island rocks with images formed from the rocks. I was filled with enjoyment but later feeling sadness filled inside me when we were travelling back to the dock. Although I was sad for a little bit I had the best time of my life.

    I like how you used appropriate pronouns in your writing. I also like how you used a lot of punctuation to make sure your writing makes sense. One thing you could work on is maybe using more description words for ur holiday.

    Wing: I like the way you are narrating it and making it seem like the reader is right there with you!
    Wing: It is really cool haw you use lots of detail and exiting words with exclamation marks
    Feather: I think you should have said where you were going at the start so the reader would be exited about it too.

    This is a very good piece I don’t think there is anything you should change or do differently in the future as this is pretty good

    Your writing was great as the dialogue really helps to shapes the characters and the detail is great. What you could work on is the punctuation. For example: “As I changed ,brushed my hair and teeth” when it could be better wrote as “ As I changed, brushed my hair and teeth” great blog overall.

    Hi Lily-Jean. This was such an interesting blog! I loved hearing about your holiday, it sounds so fun! They way you used descriptive words were so creative. Next time you could check spelling mistakes such as hoped = hopped as it’s easier to understand. Otherwise, great job!! 👏
