3a
Last Friday started terribly. First, my alarm clock didn’t go off, so I woke up late and
had to rush to the bus stop.
I had a test that morning, so I was reviewing
my notes while I was waiting for my bus.
All of a sudden, thunder rolled across the sky.
Then it started to pour. The wind was too strong
for me to use my umbrella!
By the time the bus came, I was cold and wet.
I was still worrying about the test when the bus driver said that we would be late.
There was a landslide along our usual road.
When I finally reached my classroom, out of breath, my teacher was already waiting at the door. Many others were also late because of the rainstorm. As a result, she said we weren’t having a test after all! What luck on my unlucky day!

Sample 1
Last Friday, I had a really bad day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister, the sky was growing darker and darker. I heard loud thunder and saw bright lightning flash across the sky. When I left the house, it suddenly started raining heavily. I had forgotten my umbrella, so I had to run all the way to school. On the way, a car drove through a huge puddle and splashed muddy water all over me! I was completely wet and dirty.
When I finally arrived at school, I discovered that my homework inside my bag was also wet. I thought my teacher would be angry, but she was actually very understanding. She smiled and told me I could hand it in the next day. Although the morning was awful, things turned out okay in the end.
Last Friday, I had a really terrible day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister, the sky was growing darker and darker. I heard thunder and saw lightning. When I left the house, it started to pour heavily. I rushed to the bus stop, but I forgot to take my umbrella.
By the time the bus arrived, my shoes and socks were completely wet. To make things worse, the bus got stuck in a traffic jam because of the rain. When I finally got to school, I realized I had left my math workbook at home. My math teacher was angry and gave me a warning. In the afternoon, the rain stopped, but I slipped on the wet playground and fell down. I scraped my knee and had to go to the nurse’s office.
I thought this day couldn’t get any worse. But when I got home, my mom had made my favorite hot pot to cheer me up. My little sister even drew a cute picture for me and said, “Don’t be sad, I’ll share my snacks with you!” What’s more, my math teacher texted my mom and said she would let me hand in the workbook on Monday.
What a terrible but warm day! Even the worst days can have sweet surprises waiting for us.
