Narrative: Time and Topic Sentence
Late for school
On day, when I was ten years old I got up for school in the morning but unfortunately I got up late. When I went to where the bus should be stop I considered that I missed the bus. I remembered that there is a bus going late to school but it is in a far area from the place I live. So, I ran to that area hoping that the bus hadn't left yet. I ran to there with lots of ideas of the punishment that my father would give me if he knew. I reached where the bus should be stop but I hadn't seen it. From that point I considered that my father is going to punish me for not attending school. Without thinking, I walked crying to the school which is 7km far. Suddenly the sports teacher of our school passed by me and stopped to take me with him to school. I opened the door of his car and sat in the back seat. Along the trip to the school we didn't talk. Finally, when we arrived the school, I went laughing to my friends to tell them about that morning. From that day on, I've never missed the bus again.
