Sad Moment Recount T4

 Start below


> After school, my friend Lisi wanted to come over to my house for the afternoon.  I said sure, then we walked. After we got to my house, Lisi needed to go home and get change. I said alright I will come pick you up after I get changed. A minute later, I was ready to go collect Lisi. So I put on my shoes, then jumped on my Scooter. After I was at Lisi’s house, I called her name as loud as I could, then she came out. Lisi looked both ways to see if there were any cars coming. Then she crossed the road. 


Me and Lisi walked and talked all the way to my house. We got to my house, Then we started to play around. A while later, It was 5 o’ clock and Lisi had to go home. She wanted to stay for dinner, so we went to her house and asked her mum. Her mum said yes, and we were excited. As soon as we got to my house, I ran to my mum and said. Can Lisi please stay for dinner. My mum looked at me and said, I'm going to the gym, who’s gonna cook?, I felt sad.




 I kept on begging my mum if Lisi can still stay over, My mum said something to me, Then I answered my mum back. My mum got so mad that she said. Okay I'm taking Lisi back home. I- was- shocked. I didn’t want Lisi to go home cause I would be lonely :c. A couple of minutes later when my mum finished going to the toilet, She washed her hands, and told Lisi she’s gonna drop her home cause I wasn’t listening…….. I was so heart broken, 

That I cried. And that was the saddest moment every ;-;. This happened for real, if you were in my world then you could see the sad moments.

Happy Moment Recount T4

Start below


>  A really happy moment for me was at my Birthday party. On Saturday, I was having a birthday sleepover. I invited Nora, and Lisi. In the afternoon, I was waiting For Nora to come so we could go get Lisi, cause she just lived close to me. While I was playing Minecraft and Fortnite, It was 4:00 pm, and my mum said that my friend Nora was almost here.


 So I got up and had a quick shower. Minutes later, I was brushing my hair, when my mum said My First bestie was here. I was so excited that I opened the front door, and ran to Nora. I saw Nora, and I went to go hug her. After I hugged my best friend, we went inside and put her stuff in my room. After that, we went back outside to go get lisi. We ran to her house, and called out her name. She came outside with her bag, and ran to me and nora.


 She jumped on Nora, and Hugged me with a huge smile on her face. A while later, we were in the house, Until My brother got mad for no reason that we had a fight with him.  and he kinda went rough then started pulling Nora and Lisi’s hair like a crazy person. I stopped him, and he cried to my mum. We just ignored everything, then started playing on my piano. We had the best day ever!. Well my sister kinda ruined it, cause she made Nora sad. So yeah. 

 

That is the happiest moment I’ve ever had. I even got to go to the mall at sylvia park, and got whatever i want :3, but i didn’t get much lol

Writing - Famous Artists


 A lady named Nora was a good artist. She loved to draw, paint, and also play video games. One hot day, her and her dog named Max, were chilling at home. Max was playing with his toys, and Nora was drawing a huge robot, until… she messed up. Nora was so mad that she kicked her desk so hard. Nora kicked it so hard that she almost fell.


 Nora dropped her pen, and looked at the floor with a sad face. Max looked at Nora, and went towards her with a happy face on. Max then picked up Nora’s pen, Then gave it to her. Nora grabbed her pen from Max's mouth, and she had an idea. Her idea was to draw a robot dog. Max was happy, then dreamed about random things. 

1 hour later, Nora was playing her vr game, until Max pulled out the Plugger. Nora looked at Max, Then Max looked at Nora. Nora grabbed her skateboard and went outside to play with Max. And yeah!!!!!! Finish :>
