Sudden Silence - Tension

Part 1

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides (silence) an exceptional education that challenges each student to (silence) develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a (silence) highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

I put silences in those places because after the first and second silence, the audience would wonder what the school provides and what the school challenges the students to do. Also after the third silence what the school's goal is for the students. I think these places are the best places of the phrase to create tension because it makes the audience think.

Part 2

Composers can make tension by creating a silence during a piece of music. For instance, if there was a melody and there was a sudden silence the audience would curious about what was going on. They would be asking questions such as 'What's coming next?' 'Is this the end?'. Composers would create such tension to make the audience more involved with the music. If there was a sudden silence and people were curious they would pay more attention to the music and try to get their answer.

Over the holidays, I pretty much stayed at home the whole time, sleeping, watching TV, playing computer games, eating, and the whole cycle again. It's hard to say that I used the vacation time efficiently, although I did study math quite a bit. The sad thing is that when it came to the end of the winter break did I start reading books and started actually enjoying the holidays. Over the holidays I watched 5 movies at the cinemas, and besides that I only left my house once (well not literally).

The one day I didn't spend lying down on my sofa was New Year's day. On January 1st, my family and I went to Genting Highlands. We decide to leave at 7:00 the previous night since the theme park opened at 8:00, but we ended up in our car 1 hour later. It's been happening since a few years ago that our family leaves about 1 hour later the time we decided to leave. :P

Anyway, while driving to the Highlands, I was really feeling dizzy and I thought that I was really going to throw up. I was so relieved to be out in the parking lot. We went in, rode several rides, and that was when my brother pointed at a roller coaster and demanded that he had to ride it. It was placed higher than the other rides, and just with its height it looked humongous, and my instinct told me that I was NOT going to ride it. But unfortunately my dad wanted to ride it, and so did my mom. So eventually went up to check it out. The ride was called the Corkscrew. Since I didn't want to ride it, I decided to wait outside. The rest of my family got in line. Then my brain started to think. It kept on telling me, how scary can it be? It's not like it's going to go on forever? That's when I ran to my family to join the line.

Since we had the express ticket and could cut through the line, I didn't even have a moment to hesitate and get away from the roller coaster. A few minutes later I found myself on the roller coaster, getting ready to go. It started to move. I closed my eyes. I did not want to see what was about to happen. I suddenly wanted to open my eyes, but I was afraid that we'd still be going up. A second later, I felt the car change direction. Although I knew this probably wasn't the right time, I opened my eyes just to see the roller coaster head straight down.

Few minutes later, I found myself on the platform. It had been pretty quick, and I must say that I actually kind of enjoyed it. The ride was pretty thrilling, and I had the urge of living the moment again. Apparently I wasn't the only one. So my brother and I stepped into the line again, while my parents stepped back. Time flied, this time I was in the very front car, I did not think that it would make any difference, later I ended up limping away from the roller coaster sick, tired.....
