Class 1

One morning, my mother woke me up and told me that my Aunt Zeny and her children were
downstairs. They came to invite us for a swim at the beach. The beach is just one hour away
from our place, so my mom decided to go with them. My mom helped me prepare my bag. We
did not cook any food since we would buy snacks on the way. I could see my cousins’
excitement as we headed towards the beach. I was excited, too. However, I am afraid of the
water and can’t swim. All of my cousins hurriedly went to the shore as we arrived. I panicked a
little, but I saw my mother staring at me. She was smiling at me. It was like she was telling me
to, “Go ahead son, and learn to swim.”

Today’s the day Tim has been waiting for. He’s finally going to have his first date with Rose. He
has planned everything. Nothing could go wrong, he thinks. He woke up earlier than usual. He
shaved his beard, brushed his teeth twice, and sprayed his favorite cologne. He put on a freshly
laundered black coat and his new black shiny shoes. He looked at himself once, twice, and
thrice in the mirror just to make sure everything was perfect. He hurriedly hopped in his car
and drove to his favorite flower shop to pick a fresh bouquet of red roses. The florist asked,
“Sir, do you have an umbrella? It’s raining.” “What rain?” he uttered unknowingly. He looked
outside and it was indeed raining. Just then, his phone rang. Rose cancelled the date.
