Model script
I remember when I turned 8 years old. It was one of the happiest days of my
life. As soon as I woke up, my mother brought me breakfast in bed. I wonder if I
liked cell phones and what kind I liked. I replied that I would settle for having a
cell phone to answer calls, although I never thought that I would receive the gift
that I now enjoy since I had it when I was jealpli that age. My parents went to
work and I went to my school, without waiting for that afternoon when I get to
study, my parents gave me a surprise birthday party and my parents gave me a
smartphone and a laptop computer. That day was the most special in my life,
and thank God I still enjoy my two gifts.
