Personal Writing Samples: Celebrations, Travel, and Stories

Birthday Celebration

Last weekend, I celebrated my birthday with my friends and family. My house was decorated with colorful balloons and a big banner that said “Happy Birthday.” The party started at 5 in the afternoon. We ate pizza, chocolate cake, and some tasty snacks. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday,” and I blew out the candles. After eating, we played fun games like limbo and guessing the movie. We were laughing the whole time. I also got many gifts, including a backpack and some books. Everyone had a great time, and I felt very happy to have my loved ones with me. It was an amazing day, full of laughs and good moments.

Trip to Yasuní

Last month, I went on a trip to Yasuní with my classmates. It was my first time visiting the rainforest, and I was very excited. We traveled early in the morning and arrived after a long boat ride on the river. The place was beautiful, full of tall trees, colorful birds, and many sounds of nature. A guide showed us different plants and explained why the forest is important. We walked on a small trail and saw monkeys jumping in the trees. At noon, we ate lunch near the river and took many photos. I felt happy and a little tired, but it was an amazing experience. I learned a lot and hope to visit Yasuní again one day.

A Short Story

Last night, I decided to write a short story for my class. I imagined a little girl named Emma who found a magic key in her backyard. The key was shiny and golden. When Emma touched it, a small door appeared on a tree. She opened the door and walked into a bright world full of talking animals and beautiful flowers. A friendly rabbit told her that the key could make one wish come true. Emma thought for a moment and wished for her family to always be happy. The world began to shine, and suddenly she was back in her backyard. She still had the key in her hand. Emma smiled, thinking her wish would come true.

A Rabbit and a Dog

One day, a small rabbit named Luna was playing in the forest. She liked jumping and running between the trees. A big dog named Max lived nearby. Max looked strong, but he was actually very kind. One afternoon, Luna heard a loud noise and got scared. She saw a big hawk flying above her. Luna didn’t know what to do. When Max heard her cry, he ran quickly to help. He barked loudly, and the hawk flew away. Luna was surprised that Max protected her. Max told her that being brave doesn’t mean you are not afraid. It means you help others even when you feel scared. Luna thanked Max, and they became good friends. From that day, Luna learned to be brave too.

How to Make a Simple Cake

To make a simple cake, you only need a few ingredients. First, mix two eggs, a cup of sugar, and a cup of milk in a big bowl. Then add two cups of flour and one spoon of baking powder. Stir everything slowly until the batter is smooth. After that, pour the mixture into a round pan. Make sure the pan is a little oily so the cake does not stick. Then put the pan in the oven at medium heat for about 30 minutes. When the cake looks golden, take it out and let it cool. Finally, you can add chocolate, fruit, or a little sugar on top. It is easy and very delicious.

Professions in Society

There are many different professions in the world, and each one is important. Some people work as teachers and help students learn new things every day. Others are doctors or nurses and take care of sick people in hospitals. There are also engineers who design buildings, roads, and machines. Many people choose to be chefs and cook delicious food in restaurants. Police officers work to keep the community safe, while firefighters help when there is an emergency. Every profession has its own responsibilities, and people usually choose a job that matches their interests and skills. Professions help us understand what people do in their daily lives and how they contribute to society.

A Funny Story

Last week, I was walking in the street with my friend, and something very funny happened. We were talking and laughing, and she wasn’t looking where she was going. Suddenly, she stepped on a small rock and slipped. She didn’t get hurt, but she fell on the ground in a very funny way. For a moment, we stayed quiet, and then she started laughing a lot. I helped her stand up, and we couldn’t stop laughing for minutes. People around us looked confused, but that made us laugh even more. After that, my friend said she will always watch the floor when she walks. It was a silly moment, but it made our day very funny.

Complaint About a Store Purchase

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to tell you about a problem with my order. Last week, I bought a T-shirt from your clothing store. When I received it, I noticed that the size was not the one I chose. I ordered a medium size, but the T-shirt I got is too small. Also, the color is not correct. I asked for a blue T-shirt, but I received a black one. Because of these problems, I cannot use the product.

I am not happy with my order, and I would like a full refund, please. I still have the receipt and the order number. Please let me know how I can return the T-shirt.

Thank you for your time and help.

Kind regards,
Domenica

Magical Places in Ecuador: La Perla Park

Have you heard of a magical place in Ecuador? In my case, Ecuador has one of my favorite places in the world. This is La Perla Park in Lago Agrio.

Last year I visited La Perla Park. This place is special because you can see beautiful turtles and monkeys. There are also lemon and orange trees that make the park feel fresh and natural. You can have a picnic while enjoying the sounds of nature. Next time I visit the park, I want to go boating on the river; I think it is the most exciting activity to do there.

I recommend this place to teenagers because it is calm and you can enjoy nature. You can take photos to share with friends or maybe you could record a vlog.
