Stage 1: The wonder years

A. What to do?

Record a video describing two fond memories from your childhood.


B. How to do it?
Choose two of your happiest memories from childhood and describe what made
them special and memorable. If possible, use photos to refer to the things and
people related to the anecdote. Below you will find an example of the kind of
grammar and vocabulary your instructors expects from you.
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.
