sample 1:

 I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. His walks were determined. While everyone was prepared, the gun went off. David ran immediately and his speed was quick. Although he was behind others at the beginning, David still kept his speed and ignored anything around him. Over time, David ran over others and finally won the match. Joy welled up in him. I also cheered for him. After this day, David was braver than before.

 

sample 2:

I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. Later, the match began. All the other students tried their best to run, but David couldn’t do that. Fortunately, his friends were willing to run with David, which made David feel happy. They ran slowly, talking to each other with smile on their faces. Several minutes later, David felt tired. However, the students were willing to give a helping hand. They helped David carry his bag. Finally, they succeeded in crossing the finish line. They hugged each other and smiled happily.
