IN-CLASS ONLINE LESSON #10
"Mum... Please! I love studying in my current school," I begged my mother.
"I'm sorry, my dear. I've made up my mind and it is final! " My mother insisted.
I am a fourteen year old boy currently studying in Acton High School. Acton is a district at west London, England, located in the London Borough of Ealing. I enjoy studying in this school and hanging out with my friends. Although Acton High has a good track record on promoting harmony between students, there is an ongoing conflict between Polish and black students. One week ago, there is a case of a Polish student's hair being lit up on fire during one lunchtime in the playground and the police and ambulance were called upon. This case was considered quite minor as there were other severe cases such as a fight between Polish and black students which had resulted in many casualties.
Three days ago, my friends and I were about to leave school to catch a movie together when we were stopped by a few black students. They were all muscular and we were nothing as compared to them.
" Hey Polish! Where are you rushing to?" They broke into laughters. They hurled insults at us and mocked at our nationality. We were enraged and immediately scolded them back. They were also furious and pushed us hard onto the ground. The fight then began. There were about ten students involved in this fight. Minutes later, the police were called to stop the fight. They warned and reprimanded everyone for fighting. At that time, I felt that we were wrongfully accused as we were not the ones who started the fight. The school had taken harsh actions by informing our parents about it and also giving us detentions. After my parents were notified, they immediately decided that I had to transfer to a new school so as to prevent such a case from happening. To them, it was the best choice so as to ensure that I was safe and sound.
Still, I will definitely miss all my friends but I guess I don't have a choice...

I can see that you had done sufficient research before writing this essay such as the facts that the polish and black students were against each other. Your story is also believable. However, your ending could be done better. The word "still" can be taken off to make it flow better. You can also write it such that you had already left and this is actually a recount.
