Grade 7
NarrativeWritingA place as me would be a place that stands for peace and tranquility with pleasing qualities such as flowering plants like begonia, waterfalls like the Kuang Si waterfall, and cherry blossom trees. It would be a place free from stress and noise. A place where you are surrounded by the ocean that reflects a starry night and a beautiful sunset you would not want to miss. A place as me would be a place that is unspoilt and uninhabited. A place that is special and was designed with charm and purpose. An ideal place as me would be a place at the same level. A place neither fully good nor fully bad. A place I would not change—even if I could. That would be a place as me.
