Essay Writing: A Particularly Meaningful Incident or Event

I still remember during my school day a very meaningful event had happen to me and my sister. Early one morning, my parents received an urgent phone call asking them to go somewhere. Unable to take us with them, they left us at home. Being the eldest, I and my sister Rima was told to take care of my seven-year-old brother, Boy, and my three-year-old sister Rina.

“No problem,” we told our parents confidently. “Go and don’t worry about a thing. You can be sure that everything went smoothly.”

The two children played peacefully. After that, it was as if World War III had broken out.

Three-year-old Rina and seven-year-old Roy went for each other’s throats over some building blocks. It was an awesome sight to see the tiny girl fighting with her much bigger brother. It was not unlike a midget fighting with a giant. I put my arms around my younger brother to stop him pummeling his younger sister.

As we know, food is something that we eat to provide us with the sustenance we need to live. This is because food provides our body with energy to continue functioning. If we do not get enough food then we will starve. We can get food by hunting or planting but today, however, not everybody need to do these things to get food, so we have people specializing in providing food for other people, such as farmers, fishermen and many more.

Different people eat different things. This is because, the colder the climate the more energy you need and the hotter the climate, the more fluid you need.
