I will probably remember one June day seven years ago for the rest of my life. My father had been complaining that my brother and I were watching too much TV, but we ignored him. Then one day we came home and the television was gone.
When I asked my father about the missing TV, he said watching television was a waste of time. Without it, we would have time for other things.
I decided he was wrong. Is there life without TV? How can we spend the week without all those shows and soaps? I was sure my life would be boring without TV, I used my best debating skills to argue with him, but he would not give in.
However, I found other ways to spend my time finally, Each day I ran around the street. This reminded me of my love for athletics, which I still enjoy. I joined Volunteers, and I built lasting friendships. Most importantly, I discovered an artistic world I never knew. I started taking art contests, and was shocked when I won. Then I took piano lessons. I began to like listening to AM radio, reading news magazines.
Living without TV has taught me how to manage my time, so that I can do many things in one day. I am proud to have learned I don’t need television.
Looking back, I think my father did the right thing. “You are smart. You could do anything that you put your heart to.” he used to say. He believed in us. His actions showed me a much more colorful side of life without TV and the value of having a goal and sticking to it.

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 16 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It’s round in the center with two silver bands(带) that 17 around my wrist and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 18 on a gray – sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 19 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 20 , I was late because I was 21 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 22 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 23 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 24 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 25 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 26 apologized for not meeting my Uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 27 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your action.” 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 28 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 29 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 30 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
