Pre-writing task 1
Read the stories. Think over the appropriate heading to each of them.
A
My strongest childhood memory is from when I was six years old. My father woke me up in the middle of the night. He told me that we were taking Mum to hospital and that I should come too. He dressed me and helped Mum to go downstairs. We got in the car and Dad drove to the hospital speeding. As soon as we arrived, my Mum was taken away and my father and I waited nervously. I don’t remember how long we waited. It must have been ages, because I know I felt tired and then fell asleep at one stage. Finally, my father was called in. Then I saw my Mum holding a tiny bundle wrapped in a blanket. I looked and saw a little person with a wrinkled face. I couldn’t believe it! I had a new brother!
B
There are certain things which you never forget. For me, the one occasion that stands out in my memory is my first day at school. I’ll never forget that day! I was terrified as I walked through those huge gates and joined the crowd of screaming five-year-olds. I was very shy at that age, so I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I stood on my own in the corner of the playground and felt as though I was going to burst into tears at any minute. Luckily, I was soon rescued and taken to my desk where I could sit and read a book quietly so that no one would bother me! Of course, it got much better after that first experience and I made a lot of friends. Now, I honestly believe that those were the best days of my life!
