One day, when I was in the third form, we had to write a story. I told a true story about my father. He wanted to clean the windows. He borrowed a ladder. He tried to put it against the wall, but the end of the ladder went through the window. My teacher said it was a very good story. I had to read it aloud to the other students.
Three years later, my brother was in that class. He wrote the same story, about my father and a ladder. He had to read it aloud too.
