Raspunsurile pot varia de la elev la elev; un posibil raspuns poate fi urmatorul:

When I was a child, my aunt Sara had a beautiful ring that I always used to admire. She gave it to me a birthday present, when I turned fifteen. I was absolutely thrilled.

One day last summer, I went to the pool with my friends. We were diving off the high diving board. Suddenly I noticed I wasn’t wearing the ring and I was terribly worried. I kept diving down into the pool looking for the ring on the bottom but I couldn’t see it anywhere. Then I noticed a boy sitting on the side of the pool and holding something in his hand. It was the ring. I explained that it was mine and he gave it back.

After that I saw him at the pool most days and he eventually asked me if I would like to go out with him the following Saturday. We’re still together six months later and he’s even bought me another ring!

One day last summer I was at the beach with my friends. A boy/ girl who I really liked was there too that day.

 Everyone went in for a swim, but I hadn’t learnt to swim when I was a child. I went into the water too, but then I suddenly noticed that there was a very strong current. I immediately realized that I wouldn’t be able to swim back.

Before long, the boy/ girl who I liked noticed that I was struggling and he/she helped me to swim back.

A few weeks later, I decided to have swimming lessons. To my surprise, the boy/ girl I liked was the swimming instructor!
