Sample Text: Today in maths, our teacher read the story of the hungry caterpillar. Then she gave the class a problem to solve. We had to find out how many items of food the hungry caterpillar ate before he built a cocoon around himself. We could work it out using any method and materials we wanted. Some groups decided to just count the days but that wasn’t enough because the caterpillar ate different amounts each day. Others used paddle pop sticks or grid paper. Katherine and I read the story again and put out a counter for each item of food. Then we added the counters. Katherine counted them first. She put the counters in piles of ten. She had three piles and one counter left over. That meant the total was thirty-one. I counted thirty-two. Most other groups also got a total of thirty-two so we thought it was probably correct. Then our teachers asked each group to report back and explain how they got the answer.
Task: Choose one of your life-changing moment s that you will not forget in your entire life. The event must be unique, special, and more than just a so-so story about how you meet your best friend, for example. Recount the event or story in before the class for not more than five minutes.

Brownie does not like bones. Everyday it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give her milk and bread. When I am at school, Brownie plays with my cat.
