Model script
I remember when I turned 10. It was one of the happiest days of my life. As soon
as I woke up, my mother brought me breakfast in bed. She asked me if I knew
what she and my father had gotten me. I had no idea, but my sister told me that it
was something amazing. By the time I finished breakfast, I must have guessed 20
times. I have to admit, I felt a little anxious, but my parents did not want me to be
angry. They know sometimes I am impatient. My sister’s birthday had been two
months ago. My parents got her a bicycle. I felt happy for her but I was a little bit
jealous. It is common for children to get jealous at some point. Anyway, I begged
my parents to tell me and all they said was that I had to wait. I think they were
trying to give me a lesson in patience. They left and promised to be back in a
couple of hours. When they got back home, I had already looked for my present in
every way unsuccessfully. I was starting to feel impatient when they finally told me
to look in the oven. I could not believe my eyes: it was video game console called
“Family”. I had never been as happy as that day. It was our favorite.
When I got home I did my homework and went to sleep, I was angry with myself, it
was terrible.
I remember when I turned 15. It was one of the happiest days of my life. As soon
as I woke up, I had breakfast with my family. Then I was surprised because my
aunt, who for a long time I did not see, arrived at my house, I felt very happy.
My aunt told me to go with her to go for a walk, I was excited and I changed my
clothes very fast, later in the afternoon at 6pm my aunt sent me in a taxi to the
house, it made me very angry because I wanted to stay with her a little more, being
close to home I saw my best friend with one of my cousins and it seemed very
strange, I felt anxious and with some fear, I got home and they had a surprise party
with serenade I was very happy and I cried a lot.
The party was incredible, although I was angry that the piece of cake that
corresponded to me that ate a cousin, I felt sad at that time but it happened very
fast. It was a fantastic day
