Last night, I attended a fashion show held by Hong Kong College at
the Lucky Eight Restaurant to support my friend Mike, who was the model of the
show. It was supposed to be a scintillating show. However, a fire alarmingly
broke out.
The lights were suddenly turned off and the blackout made the crowd
panic. I was totally dismay and I tried to escape promptly to get safe. Despite
that, it was so chaotic and everyone tried to rush out of the door! The fire
was approaching and I felt really hot.
“Help! Help!”, somebody screamed from the corner. I scampered to the
corner and Mike was lying on the floor and he sweated a lot. After that, I
carried him on my back and we tried to escape as the fire was flaming
tremendously. To our dismay, the fire blocked the doors and we couldn’t find a
way to escape! We had cold feet and we didn’t know what to do. I tried to
comfort Mike because he was very ill and I hope a fireman could help us at that
moment.
Abruptly, I heard the sirens of the ambulance and fire trucks from
outside.
“Anyone there?” a man came into the restaurant.
“Help! Help!” I yelled, as loud as I could and the fireman came to
rescue us. I heard a sigh of relief when we finally escaped from the
restaurant. Mike was sent to the hospital immediately and fortunately he was
all right.
I think Mike and I were so lucky that we were rescued but not
perished in the fire.

Dear Lisa,
How’s your life in America? I received your letter yesterday. And I
start worried about you. Please listen to what I say.
I know you want to be a model for a very long time. But do you
remember why did you go to America? It was because you wanted to be a doctor.
Then you went to America in order to have better education. I know you will
feel annoyed if I say this. But I really want you to know that mom and dad
worked very hard to earn money to pay for your school fee. They also have lots
of expectations on you. You can’t give up studying at this moment! You’ll break
their heart!
On the other hand, modelling is not a stable job to do. A lot of people want to be a model too.
However, not many of them succeed. You need to work very hard and walk a very
long road. It’s a dark road with lots of complicated relationships going on.
Your boss may not like you. People may be rude to you and don’t give you
chances to work. When you become famous, you’ll have lots of funs but also lots
of haters. Just think about how would you feel if there are rumours that are
not true around the world? You must not like that! What’s more, you may be a
successful model only for a short period of time. What could you do when you
get old? No one will care about you anymore.
You may think that I don’t understand you. But I convince you not to
be a model because I care about you. Please remind yourself why you wanted to
be a doctor. Being a doctor is a much better job. And I think you are very
talented with it. You have lots of interest in biology and chemistry since you
were young. You are on your way to become a doctor. Only a few steps left until
you can do it. So don’t give up! Mom and dad will be so proud of you because
being a doctor can help lots of people. Just remember that I will always
support you. If you have any problem, you can always talk to me.
Please continue your studies and write back to me.
Love,
Chris
