I'm good at my schoolwork, but for some reason, I have a very bad habit of losing things.
Last summer, I was on vacation with my family at the beach. On the first day, my father gave me a watch. "You need to have a watch, so take good care of it, " he said.
The next day, I went swimming. The sun was shining on the water. The water was warm and beautiful. I really enjoyed being in the water.
When I returned to beach, I was quite tired so I lay down. At that moment, I wanted to see what time it was. But the watch was gone! I looked for it as afternoon, but I could not find it.
That night at dinner, my sister asked, "What time is it?"
"Ask Tom, " my mother said. "He has a new watch. "
Dad looked at me and said, "Don't tell me that you've lost the watch already!"
"No!" I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie. Just then, there was an announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk. "
At once, I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was. The watch was not broken. It was still working.
I walked back to the table, sat down and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth. " My family smiled. They knew that I had finally learned my lesson.
