Last Friday morning, Isaac was sleeping soundly. The alarm clock rang. He switched off the alarm and told himself that he would wake up five minutes later. When he finally did so, he looked at the clock. It was 7 o’clock. He was going to be late for school.
He quickly brushed his teeth and changed into his school uniform, and with his school bag slung over his shoulder rushed to the bus stop. He had no time for breakfast. Soon he saw the bus he had to take moving towards the bus stop. He ran quickly, but he missed it. So he decided to run to school, as his school was not far away. After he ran for a short while, it started to rain. Poor Isaac! He was drenched all through. When he reached the school, he was scolded by his form teacher for being late.
Isaac had learnt a lesson. He decided that he would not go to bed late any more. | I did not recognize any glaring grammatical mistakes.   |
