500 word essay


500 work essay.
John had a day off from school; any ordinary 12 year old boy would see his friends or have a game of football in the park. That’s what john intended to do however there wasn’t anyone at home to supervise therefore he had to go to work with his dad.
Waking up at 6am made johns mood even worse. Once he had finally arrived at his dad’s work place after a 2 hour train ride, he was convinced the train was infested with lizards because he could see lizard urine on the floor. Now he has arrived at his dads work, it was a tall, black building. It seemed like it was hundreds of years old. The front door was battered and rotten.
When he entered through the rotten door there was a front desk with a woman talking on a phone, she had a computer in front of her and she seemed stressed. As we got to his room the was a large desk with a computer hooked up to a printed and lots of files, it looked like a very normal office,
As John’s dad started his work, he started to get very bored so he decided to go on a walk around the horrible old building to find anything interesting to do. First John went to the canteen for something to do, after a gruelling decision he eventually bought pasta and a juice carton.
After that he went down to the dark underground floor. As the lift slowly clanked to a jolting stop, he couldn’t see anything so he was feeling the wall trying to find a light switch. Finally he found a switch, once the light had come on he saw that there was smashed up desks and lots of broken furniture with pumpkins dotted about. Very spooky.  He heard a scream so ran to the nearest fire exit however it was locked. He started to panic… ahhhhhhh! Another scream. So john ran back to the lift luckily it was working so he returned to his dad’s desk.
He was still typing. John knew he didn’t want to go to the bottom floor again or the canteen and everything else was just offices similar to his dads. So he decided to stay in his dads’ office and try to entertain himself there, which only lasted for 15 minutes. John then decided to wander around the office trying to find something more interesting to do after a while of searching he found another boy in the same situation as him. So he decided to walk over and introduce himself, “Hi I’m John” “Hello, I am Rory” the other boy replied
“Nice to meet you, how are you?” said John
“Fine thanks, how are you?” Rory answered
Then the two boys were playing together for the rest of the time and the day flied. Before they left each other, Rory shyly asked John, “Do you like the black eyed peas?”
Excitedly, John replied “Yes! Yes I do! They are my favourite!”
“Oh good, are you interested in seeing them tonight I have a spare back stage pass?” Rory said
“Oh I would love to! Thank you so much!” John said

Mountaineering Accidents


One of the worst tragedies in the history of mountain climbing has taken the lives of at least 40 members of an international team in the remote Pamir Mountains, in the Soviet Union near the Chinese border.

On 17 July, 1990, a team of 140 international climbers were attempting the Lenin Peak, in the remote Pamir Mountains of the Soviet Union. The team had made camp at 6000 meters, in an area known as the Frying Pan, a well-known ledge used as a place of rest for teams before beginning their summit. While in camp an avalanche commenced down the face of the mountain and swept 40 climbers from five nations which caused their deaths.

The victims included 27 Soviet climbers, principally a 23 Leningrad alpine team led by Leonid Troshchinenko, one of the nation’s leading climbers. The other climbers were from Czechoslovakia, Israel, Switzerland and Spain.

£1.74

With £1.74,I would buy the cheapest food I could find, from home and bargain. Also I would hydrate myself by buying water from another cheap shop. One I have been fed and hydrated I would try to find somewhere to sleep. Perhaps a door step or rent a small room for the night.
