I can remember many happy events of my life and out of those, I would like to talk about the event that
I can still remember vividly. It (1-be)_________ indeed an exhilarating event and that was regarding my
success in the board final exam. The moment I (2-hear)__________ that I had been awarded a
scholarship for my performance in the board exam, I (3-become)___________ the happiest man in the
world. This (4-be)________ truly a felicitous moment for me as it is something I was looking forward to
very eagerly and the news (5-make)_________ my parents quite happy and proud. I would like to thank
you for letting me talk about this event.

I (6-wait) ___________almost a month with great anxiety for my result. I (7-start)______________

speculating so many things and many of them were negative. I could hardly stop thinking about my
upcoming result during this period. The result was highly important and my college admission was
dependent on it. I could not sleep well the night before the result publishing day. I think it is common for
students to worry about their results, especially for important exams, and I was familiar with this type of
concern. However, I have to admit that I had been more worried about it than other exam results I can
remember.
The result was published at around 11.00 am and I (8-find)_________ that I did exceptionally well. I was
so relieved and happy that I was on cloud nine. Then I hurriedly returned home and gave the news to my
parents. They were very happy. My father, who barely expresses his emotions (9-be)__________ also
very pleased, and my mother called a few of our relatives to share the good news. I felt excited, happy
and relieved. At that time I was about 15 years old. It (10-happen)__________ in our hometown
called (… say the name of your hometown…). It was so pleasant an event that I still remember every bit
of it.
