A Magical Watch
It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss
Walker called as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She
hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her.
Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver
and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a
certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at
everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the comer, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle
of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after
him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put
it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and
started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about
swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really
thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…” Jenny laughed with
excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of
confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass.
The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something
magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go
first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there
was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school
yesterday.”

Paragraph 1:
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation
. Jenny didn’t
answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic? No one could understand. No
one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday,” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a
moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was
relieved saying she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech.
Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
Paragraph 2:
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first
. Jenny walked
slowly to the front. She couldn’t think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She
felt so frightened and the watch didn’t seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker’s
encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I’m going to talk about swimming…” Ten minutes
later the whole class stood up applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she
eventually realized the real source of confidence.
