Time is very important in our life. It 36 our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 37 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more 38 . It’s round(圆形的) in the center with two silver bands(带，条) that go 39 my wrist(手腕) and all of it is made of silver.

I received this 40 on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to 41 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 42 , I was late because I was 43 with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I 44 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 45 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.

I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. that day and felt 46 of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my 47 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 48 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 49

apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 50 was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your 51 .” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 52 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 53 .

I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 54 time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 55 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
