TranscriptionA BEAUTIFUL WEDDINGThe happiest day of my life was the day I got married. It was a beautiful day in April. I woke up early that morning. I had my last breakfast at home with my parents, brothers and sisters. That made me a little sad, though. We all got dressed and went to the church. We waited one hour until everyone arrived. There were flowers all over the place. When the priest said that we were man and wife, I started to cry.
MY GRANDMOTHERS DEATH
The worst day of my life was the day my grandmother died. It was a sad day in March. I got a phone call from my brother, who told me that my grandmother was very ill. I finished my work and went to the hospital. When I arrived there, my whole family was in the room. Everyone was crying. I went to my grandmothers bed and talked to her. Two hours later, she passed away. (78 words)
