Write a short article about the most valuable gift you have ever received.
It was my birthday yesterday. I got a lot of gifts.
All of them were covered with coloured paper. Among them there were two interesting ones. My elder sister gave me a round paper bag and I thought it was a football. But when I opened it, it turned out to be a clock. My brother gave me a message, saying that My present has been put in your bedroom. As soon as I went into my bedroom, I found a box. I opened it and found a laptop. I was very happy.
These two presents aim at letting me study hard and not wasting time.
