My Scars
When I was second grade student of elementary school I used to study in my grandmother’s
rice field. It was the perfect time for me to study every subject. I could learn everything easily over
there. This story started when I decided to study mathematics there. I walked along the path alone.
Along the way I thought I left something, but I did not know what was left.
I kept my walk to the rice field. After I arrived, I sat under guava’s tree. I put all my books and
pencil case then I started to study. In a half time of study I remembered that I left my lunch box in the
kitchen. I was afraid that my granny would get angry if I did not eat them all. As soon as I
remembered that, I started to stand and run to my house for taking my lunch box.
I ran over the path and chose to take the nearest way by a yard that full of garbage. When I ran,
I felt something block my right foot and it made me fell. I fell to the ground and felt my hand so
much hurt. I saw my hand, and I knew that was stuck by a piece of glass. It was bleeding and I cried.
I tried to stand and run to my house. Arriving house my aunt and mom tried to calm me down and
gave me medicine. Now I can see the scars on my right hand.

My Most Unforgettable Childhood Experience
My friend and I spent our summer holidays in his house. It was a warm night and we were
watching stars in his backyard. It was about 1 a.m. and we were getting sleepy. I decided to come
back home and must to go home by myself.
My friend’s house was across the street. There is a forest near our house and a little gate leads
into the forest. Just in front of the gate, there is a streetlight with green shimmer.
I took a step and looked at the gate. In greenish light was standing a man; a man in black coat.
At the same time my friend shouted at me and I turned my head. When I looked back, the man had
disappeared. My friend told me to go home and he said that my eyes had played a trick on me. I
walked towards my house, I turned to the gate to be sure that it was only my imagination. And I saw
the stood man again over there.
I screamed and ran home. Later in bed, I stilled trembling with fear and shock I tried to
convince myself that there had been nobody and finally I managed to calm down. Since that day, in
the evenings I am afraid to go home from my friend’s house.
