My Day
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm
clock didn't go off.Then, I was in such a hurry that I burned my hand when I was
making breakfast. After breakfast, I got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear
socks.
Next, I ran out of the house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I
wanted to take a taxi, but I didn't have enough money.
Finally, I walked the three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday!
I hope I never have a day as the one I had yesterday. (Taken from Ready toWrite,
2003)
