the miracle happens is charlie bought a chocolate bar with golden ticket. it's a big surprise because many children buy many chocolate bars each day, and they
didn't get any golden ticket. but charlie since the idea of golden ticket was told, only bought 3 of the chocolate bars. so the family is very happy, and grandpa Joe seems to be 70 years younger. but i didn't think any unexpected thing and happend to me, there's only little surprises.
Charlie seized the chance to get one of the five golden tickets which are the entrances of Mr Willy Wonka's factory. He came from a poor family and tried only 3 bars of chocolate, then he found it. This is the miracle.
All of the family members are enthusiastic and surprised to see the miracle, especially grandpa Joe. He jumped from the bed and danced on the floor although he was 96. On contrast, Mr. Bucket was much calmer.
Speaking of miracles, I have experienced a lot. I have seen 4 fire accidents all by myself, and each time I called the police and all the people in fire are rescued. That is really rare, isn't it? Lately, my hard work boosted my score to a new high acme, top 8 of 5 hundred people in my school! Even I cannot believe such a cool thing has happened to me!
Charlie found the last golden ticket. He found a whole dollar bill on the street and spent it on the chocolate. Then, fortunately, he found gold ticket in it. His family was so excited about it that they couldn’t believe it at first. Grandpa Joe jumped and danced. After reading the invitation from Mr. Wonka, the first thing that grandpa Joe thought was changing the clothes and keep the appearance clean for going to the factory. However, the first thing that Charlie’s father thought was to decide who is going to go with Charlie to the factory. This can show how huge Grandpa Joe’s excitement was and he considered himself as the one who go with Charlie without questions.
There was a miracle about passing the exam “A2” of German in my life. Our class study German in school and, we need to pass the exam “A1” to prove that we can study it well. You know, German is very difficult to me. I think it will be “interesting” before studying it, but, after, the grammar, the accents and the words and so on are all terrible… I couldn’t imagine how Germans created this language when I was studying. When I’m reading the articles, the only thing I felt was there were so many ants on the page. Passing the “A1” with difficulties, because it was what I must to do.
Then we can decide to take “A2” or not. It’s much harder than “A1”. When I found it did goods to studying abroad, I changed my mind to “try” it. I studied very hard then to fix my problems. Both my writing and oral German improved. This kind of hard working only started two weeks earlier than “A2”. So I didn’t put any hope on it yet. One month ago, our “A2” result arrived in a big box. When my teacher read out my name and said my passed it, I couldn’t believe my ears… The mark was even better than “A1”’s.
