Time is very important in our life. However, I had never realized it until I received a beautiful gold watch from my father one day when I was 19 years old. This       always tells me the importance of time in my life.

It was a cold rainy day. My father asked me to go to the        to pick up my uncle and take him home. I should have arrived there        4:30 p.m. We had a basketball match at school that afternoon        the match was too exciting. When the match was nearly over. I suddenly remembered my uncle and        to the airport. It was too late. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to our house.

I was very worried that my father would be        with me. As soon as I entered the living room, I saw my uncle in the sofa looking very tired. I dared not(不敢)        my uncle and my father. I said hello to them in a very low voice. My father didn’t say       . Instead, he asked me to sit next to him. “Peter, did you have a good time today?” He        very disappointed, but his voice was still calm. I felt so sorry and answered in an ever        voice. “Yes, Dad, but I’m really sorry about not        my uncle. This will        happen again. I promise.” My father handed me a box with a beautiful gold watch inside. It was a gift my uncle bought for him. He gave it to        and said. “I hope you have learned something important today, and this watch will help you remember the importance of time.”

The watch has been with me for twelve years. I wear it not because of its price, but because of        I learned from it. It tells me to respect        and never be late to do what I have promised to.
