English - Creative Writing

The gym. Closed for the day, soon to be opened. Training gear, organized and stacked nicely from the previous class. The floor padding, clean and sweat-free after being clean just hours before. From within the everlasting silence of the closed gym, the sound of the water droplets from the tap drumming against the steel sink, the echoing tick of a clock striking second by second, the roar of the nearby cars outside driving by and the hum of chatter from the sidewalk. The eye-watering smell of bleach, the subtle hint of Dettol throughout the gym mats and walls, the sour smell of old sweat and the faint smell of leftover protein. People are about to enter the gym and begin their night of training they're all in a rush to get to the gym in time so they can have the chance to stretch and warm-up before the session starts. Some are worried, some are not as worried.

The gym has now opened and there is a light hum on chatter, people greeting each other and choosing who to train with for the session, water running as people fill their drink bottles to guzzle throughout the night, the grunts as people stretch, the sounds of people pounding and bashing the boxing bags as if they're their opponents. But the loudest thing in the gym is the retch-worthy smell of feet throughout the gym. There is a contagious amped or enthusiastic sort of feeling being passed around the members of the gym.

Training time. People bashing pads and draining all their energy trying to get the sequence correct and to avoid punches and throw counter punches whilst still getting footwork and technique correct. The floor pads drenched with sweat from the exhausted members.  The hiss of people exhaling while hitting the pads, the pants of exhaustion within breaks of sequences, people shouting as they encourage other members to push themselves further and to continue even though they're tired and exhausted, the sound of water gushing and people quickly refill their bottles to quench their thirst and to rehydrate themselves. Training is over and all that is left over is the deadly whiff of sweat.

Replace words

I replaced detol for Dettol to correct it.

I replaced the word smelly and bad stinking feet for the retch-worthy smell of feet to make it seem more disgusting and to make the smell seem more intense as retch is to vomit.

I had also replaced the word running for gushing to make it seem like its more fast-paced and intense whereas running could be at any speed but gushing it harsh and fast

Persuasive Writing

History has no value in present-day society.

Agree: Waste of space/ Could be used for houses/ Made into farmland/ Fields/ Habitat for animals

Disagree: Can be used for movie sets/ Education/

I think that historic buildings have no value in present-day society because of the fact that they don't have much use, yea sure they can be used for movie sets or education, they are a waste of space and could be used for houses or made into farmland and fields, possibly for sports but the land could also be used as a habitat for animals.

I believe that the land used for these historic buildings have no use due to the fact they aren't really used for anything besides education or movie sets and what's the use behind the education anyway? Jobs that'll get you preeeeetty much nowhere in life.

If the buildings get removed the land could be used for newer and better houses or other buildings such as industrial buildings and businesses too. This could lead to more money and also tourism.

Exercise 2 

Some words have been left out in the following sentences. From each group in brackets, choose the word or phrase that most effectively suggests the idea of noise.

Exercise 3 

From each set of words in brackets choose the one word or phrase which most effectively conveys the scene being pictured:

Bright lights radiated amusingly through the evening darkness.

Exercise 4 

Here is a short descriptive passage. From each group in brackets, choose the word or phrase that most effectively fills each gap. Bear in mind the impression the writer is trying to give.

The face, in the brief instant when the lightning glowed, was like some badly-done carving. The forehead was topped with a mass of hair which gleamed in the light. The lower part of the face was masked by a wild cluster of wiry beard. The eyes, deep-set under thick brows, twinkled evilly as they caught the light. Mark’s heart thrashed in fear at the sight. Lightning lit up again.
