Talk about a robbery you witnessed
It happened on one Saturday evening My mother and I
went shopping to buy a gift for my father After much
thought my mother decided to buy a gold ring
We went to a goldsmith’s shop The Sales Assistant
showed us a lot of gold rings in various designs My
mother was enchanted by a ring with a sparkling diamond
Trang 2on it As we were admiring the ring, four men wearing
ski-mask rushed into the shop They ordered all the people to
stand up against the wall with their hands raised above
their heads The four robbers were armed with guns They
were dressed in black and wore gloves on both hands
One of the men placed a brief case on the counter and
ordered one of the Sales Assistants to empty the trays of
jewelries into the briefcase The Sales Assistant was
shaking with fear, and quickly started to do what he was
ordered to do
Trang 3I notice that the burglar alarm was not far from where I
was standing I slowly moved towards the alarm, and tried
to reach it without being noticed After much difficulty I
managed to get close to the alarm I cautiously lifted my
right leg and pressed the button The alarm started to ring
loudly The robbers panicked, they grabbed the briefcase
and rushed to a waiting car and drove away I rushed out
of the shop to see the number of the car I quickly
memorized the number of the getaway car
A few minutes later the police arrived I told them the
Trang 4number of the robbers’ car They immediately informed
headquarters to put up road blocks They questioned us
before letting us go Photographers took photos of the
scene of the robbery
Next day my father read in the papers that the robbers
were caught and the stolen goods recovered
Trang 5Describe a robbery at a late cold night
One late cold winter night, we heard the moan of an old
lady from the nearby house The old lady was living alone
with her ailing husband who is also bedridden Her sons
were living in Australia The old couple refused to leave
their homeland and therefore live alone We left sorry for
them and as neighbors we often help them in any way
possible It seems on that cold winter night some burglars
had entered their house through the kitchen window which
was not properly grilled and locked
Trang 6The burglars had overpowered the old people, tied them to
the chair and cot respectively, took away six hundred
dollars and jewels The old lady managed to free herself
from the bonds and crawled to the corridor with a moan
which we all heard Several people rushed over
immediately and the men tried to untie the old man and
then to inform the police The women were helping the old
lady by applying cold water to the bruises and rearranging
the furniture The rope was very tight and the old man
suffered bruises on his skin
Trang 7Two of us ran out to see if the culprits were still around
Soon we heard police sirens, two patrol cars screeched to
a halt in front of our house and we saw policemen running
up the stairs The policemen made a thorough search and
got statements from the old people The old people’s
monthly pension money and some of the jewel which they
valued were gone
Messages were sent to their sons abroad One week later
one of their sons returned to Singapore and brought the
Trang 8old people to Australia Despite the robbery, the old couple
were reluctant to leave Singapore Finally, they were
persuaded by us to accept their son’s offer
On the date of their departure, the old couple thanked all
those who came to help them in their hour of need
