Write for Life Variety s the very spice of life, that gives it all of its flavor William Cowper You are holding a selection of the best pieces of English writing by Pentecostal School students in 2009-2010. You will find essays and stories, fact and fiction, truth and fantasy. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do. The authors should feel very proud of themselves. Of course, no writing is ever perfect and English is a difficult language to learn. Therefore, I would like to give you some more quotes to remember as you read this book: Don t get it right, get it written. James Thurber If you re going to be a writer, the first essential thing is just to write. Don t wait for an idea. Start writing and the ideas will come. You have to turn the tap on before the water starts to flow. Louis L Amour Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Scott Adams quotes You must be brave and try to write (and read) English as many times as you can. You will improve, believe me. You will also learn a new way to explore a bigger world and express your feelings of it. The English language can be wonderfully rich in detail and vivid in spirit. As you read this book, I would like you to ask yourself what you would do if you were asked to create something similar. You should ask yourself because: Creating is the true essence of life Barthold Georg Niebuhr I wish you success with all your creations, at school and beyond.
