Model Answer:
I was the only child of my parents and they used to provide me with almost all forms of toys
but I liked the video game much more than any other toys.
It was a video game containing different games including block setting, car race, puzzle and
many other video games. Basically, it was a plastic made video
game set and was around
seven inches in length and four inches in width. The entire body was made of durable plastic
and the keys were yellowish. My most favourite game was the car race. Sometimes I had to
press the big button hard to increase the car speed and when I crossed the levels, the speed
increased automatically. I loved the game as I had a passion for driving cars but as I could not
do that in reality, I did that in the video game. I was 10 when my father gave me the video
game. He gave me that as a Christmas present. It was a surprise for me. I saw such a video
game with one of my friends and he was playing it with a smiling face. I touched the game and
also experienced the same feelings. He allowed me to play a few of the games for about half
an hour but I could not finish as the battery died. Then I told my mum that I need a video game
like that but she instantly said nothing to me. When my father gave me the pack for Christmas,
I was truly surprised at that age. It was a pleasing moment for me too when I unwrapped the
package. I used to share the video game with the other boys of my school who wanted to play.
We used to play the games by rotation and had to be careful lest our teachers notice the issue.
One of the classmates was caught red-handed while playing video games during math class.
So, we were highly careful about the fact. Besides,
when the battery died,
I used to buy
batteries with the contribution of the other players (!) who participated in the game. The video
game was a kind of treasure to me.
In the beginning, I did not
allow any of my family and
friends to touch the video game piece. I cared for it too much
and did not play it fearing
imaginary and potential damages.
Besides, I used to take out the battery so that nobody could play or do anything with the video
game in my absence. It was the most valuable thing to me until it broke in an accident. When
it slipped from my hand and fell on the ground from the window, I was shocked and rushed to
the road to collect it from where it fell. Unfortunately, I found that a vehicle had run over the
video game set when I was rushing to rescue it.
It was a deep shock for me. However, my father wanted to buy me another similar thing but
mother did not allow so fearing I might break again. It was the end of my video game era.
