Question

There is always something that we can never forget. And it can really change our life.

Time is important for us. It organizes our everyday moments.①However,before I received a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life. It organized my life and made me more responsible.

I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a. m. to pick up Uncle Jim and take him to my father's house. However,I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day,around 11 ：00 a. m. , I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him,but I was too late. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.

I got to my father's house at 2 ：00 p. m. that day. (2) Looking at my father's face, I felt ashamed (羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to go next to him and he handed me this watch. Then he said, " Bob,did you have fun with your friends today?" " Yes，Father，and I'm sorry about not picking up Uncle Jim," I replied. He then said, "What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. I think you should learn something from it,and this watch will be a reminder for you in your future life.”③The watch is very-important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

Today I still remember my father's words "Respect time and never be late for anything.”
