There is always something that we can never forget. And it can really change our life. 
       Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, ①before I received
a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life. It organized my life and made me more
responsible. 
       I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to pick up Uncle Jim and take
him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day,
around 11:00 am, I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had
left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house. 
       I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day. ② Looking at my father’s face, I felt ashamed
(羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch as a gift.
Then he said, "Bob, did you have fun with your friends today?" "Yes, Father, and I’m sorry about not
picking up Uncle Jim," I replied. He then said, "What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry
for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in
your future life." ③ The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson
that I learned from it. 
       Today I still remember my father’s words"Respect time and never be late for anything."

Dear Mum,
       I didn't think you understand my life, You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me
to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about
fun things for me to do like music, sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I wasn't allowed to read my
football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn't see them. I told you I
had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie to you, but you told me that Dad would talk to
me later. Mum, I didn't quite like what you did to me! I really love you, Mum, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me.

     At May Middle School in London, the students must stay at school from Monday to Friday. They
can go into the town in the evening , but must return to the school before eight o’clock.
     A student called Bob walked to the town and went to the cinema. When he arrived at school, it was
half past eight. He was a little worried. He ran quickly to the gate. It was closed too. Then he saw an
open window on the first floor. It was the headmaster’s office. Bob looked into the room. No one was
there. He quickly climbed up and jumped into the room, just then he heard someone was talking outside
the door. He looked around and hid himself under the sofa. One minute later, the headmaster came in .
He turned on the light and sat on the sofa. Then he began to read.
     Bob lay under the sofa and looked at the headmaster’s feet for an hour. He was too afraid to move.
Finally the headmaster stood up and walked towards the door. ‘Thank Goodness, he did not find me
under the sofa,’ thought Bob. Then the headmaster stopped. He turned his head and spoke to the sofa,
"Could you turn off the light before you leave?" and then left the office.
