When my little brother Tom was four,Mum said something like “I'd give anything to have a few more hours in the day”.And Tom said,“Why don't we buy a bigger clock?” If time worked that way,I could have used an extrabig clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat.“I can't believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh.“I have no idea how I'll get mine done.”
I didn't say anything,not because I was nervous—I wasn't nervous at all.I love art projects!In fact,I was so relaxed that I didn't work on the project at all on Monday night.I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday.But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies,which happens every month,and it's a chance for us older students to practice baseball with the adorable younger kids.The second I got home,I threw the entire craft box(工艺盒)onto the kitchen table,took out my“How Plants Eat” paper,and started to work.But just then,the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie,who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I'd come to help decorate them.I love decorating cookies,and I love,love,love Abuela's worldfamous holiday cookies!
I had no choice.I had to go.Ollie and I put all the starshaped cookies with red jam filling in one group,and all the snowflakeshaped cookies with white creamcheese filling in another.It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.I planned to work on my project right after we ate.But then another interruption hit me.

Paragraph 1:
Just as I was about to start,Dad said,“Joanna,it's your turn to do the dishes.”It was then that I remembered my duty.There was no excuse.I couldn't shirk my duty,so I rushed to the kitchen with the piles of dirty plates and washed them as quickly as I could.When I was finally able to sit down at the kitchen table,it was already 8:30!At that moment,I wished,for a thousand times,that I had used an extrabig clock for extra time!However,the truth was that no matter how hard I tried,I could not finish my whole project in such a short time.As a result,my art teacher failed me the next day.
Paragraph 2:
Looking at the big“F”on my paper,I started to reflect on what I had done these days.If I had done my art project on Monday night,I could still enjoy the baseball practice and the cookie decoration.Unpredictable things happen all the time,so the best solution is to plan ahead and take action as planned.We can't actually buy a bigger clock and have more time,but we can surely make better use of it.I failed the project,but I was lucky to have learned the lesson of “a bigger clock”.
