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.
