Step6 Sample Writing
In my village, every day starts with a“fire”! The houses turn red as the sun rises above the mountains,
Seeing the flames, the roosters sound the alarm. They wake everyone in the village with their loud cries, chasing the children to school and rushing the adults to work. In the evening, a gold haze settles over everything. This is my favourite time of the day, when all work for the day has been completed. When the smell of hot oil and fragrant spices float through the air, I know that it will soon be time for dinner. My neighbors begin to call to their children to come home. The birds begin their nightly quarrel over their favourite places to rest.
At night, the stars come out to tell us that all is well and my village grows quiet. For now we’ll sleep, and tomorrow the sun will set us on fire again for a new day!。
