Creative Writing - The Circus

Describe a carnival, theme park, a circus or a fairground attraction My visit to the circus was as divine as the beauty of heaven! The stage was full of big, fat, colourful clowns, with curly orange wigs. I laughed at them, as they joked around, making me feel excited! Some smaller children were torn between screaming and being in hysterics. The next act was waiting, an elephant balancing on a big ball. I could feel the hard bench beneath me, as I smelt the manure of exotic animals. The mustard of the hot dogs I’d been munching on, lingering in my mouth. Rolling into the centre stage, on its ball, the elephant was bigger than the roof. Emmanuel, the elephant gave an electric performance. It gave a trumpeting roar, I thought, doesn’t this remind you of a jungle? The acrobats attracted my attention, swinging awesomely from the trapeze. They leapt around the big top like a monkey from a branch. ‘Look out! Look out!’ I cried, worried that the acrobats would fall into the audience. What techniques can you spot here?

In Your Own Words - Jan 2012 paper - 1b.

In your own words… Rachel likes swimming “I love swimming,” she says. She enjoys competing and winning. Rachel is focused when she listens to music, she finds Snow Patrol “motivational.” She finds it “difficult to cram everything in” as she is studying at university as well as taking part in the Para Olympics. When she is practicing she visualises racing and shouts at herself ‘go on!’ in her head. I think she has a very good chance at winning, with this great attitude.
