My Unforgettable Childhood

閱讀時間約 17 分鐘

2024.05.02_When we want to chat with friends, "childhood" might be a general but great topic. Thus, I want to prepare some materials and learn the way to express well.


The condition of my childhood

My childhood was filled with laughter. My parents always encouraged me to try everything. Even I didn’t do well, they rarely blamed me but praised my bravery. Thanks to that, I'm able to pursue what I love.

In a video called "Every Kid Needs a Champion," lecturer Rita Pierson emphasizes the importance of educators creating experiences where children can harvest success.

This builds up confidence rooted in their characters, which benefits them in facing future challenges and enables them to become their own champions.

Without a second thought, my parents did exactly that.


Amazing events in my childhood

The most interesting thing was meeting my best friend, Yuan-Yuan. We've been friends since 1 grade in elementary school, and we've always shared our life experiences. This friendship has lasted until now, and just yesterday we had lunch and chatted together. It's amazing because I don't have many best friends, but she's definitely one of them.


The unforgettable experience in my childhood

One of my unforgettable experiences surrounds a typhoon.

At first, I didn’t care a lot about that because it was already summer vacation, which means, the typhoon wouldn’t bring me more vacation.

However, I woke up that morning to find my house flooded.

In the living room, my parents were working hard to lift every piece of furniture higher, because the water level was about 150cm high, and both of our cars were soaked.

My parents must have been under a lot of pressure at that time; however, I was too little to sense the urgency. And I was intrigued by the dirty water and couldn’t help but to want to play in it.

But, that’s also the time when my parents raised a red flag, explaining that it was dirty sewage water.

As the floodwater receded to ankle level, the kids in our neighborhood rushed to the street to catch fish. I saw plenty of fish but was too scared to try catching them myself.

However, my neighbor kids managed, leaving me standing in that water with fits of regret.
