Talk About a Toy You Liked in Your Childhood.

Talk about a toy you liked in your childhood.  You should say:


According to my perspective, life is full of good and bad memories. As my memory serves me well, I vividly remember a beautiful doll gifted by my mother on my 4th b’day wrapped with all of her love. Everybody got awestruck by the outstanding packing of that gift with little bows and butterflies. When she bestowed that toy to me, I felt over the moon after having that toy as I was already obsessed with dolls.

I still recall the doll’s red frilled dress and beautiful golden locks; it was as beautiful as a fairy in my fairy tale book. Indeed it was an overwhelming experience for me. I got so much in love with that dolly, in such a short passage of time that whatever I do and wherever I go, I was keeping it beside me and above all was bragging it in front of my kith and kins. One of notorious cousin played a prank by hiding it, and I got down in the dumps when I didn’t find my doll beside me. However, he soon realized his mistake after seeing my long face and brought it back to me to see the spark in my eyes after having my favourite doll.

As it was the big and adorable doll I ever had in my dolls collection, it is still there with me, and my little daughter also plays with her. I am so thankful to my mom for gifting me such a lovely toy.
