Recount writing

It was a gloomy Friday afternoon, when my mum decided we need to go shopping. I groaned. I didn’t want to go, it was freezing outside and it was raining. But of course I had to go, because I couldn’t stay home. I lay on my bed for a minute, before I got up and got ready.


I grumpily got into the car and waited for my mum and sister. While I waited I read my book. A couple of minutes later my mum and sister came out of the house. I put my book away as they got in. My mum started the car and we drove away. As my mum drove, she and my sister talked about what we needed to buy. Mostly it was just stuff for all my cousins, aunts and grandparents. I just stared at my window and admired the scenery.


First we needed to go to baby factory so twenty minutes later we were in front of baby factory. My mum quickly found a parking spot. Once she did I slowly opened my door, and I slowly got out. A smile creeped over my face as I smelt the fresh air. As I stepped inside the building I sighed. My mum and my sister did most of the work, while I just walked around looking at the tiny clothes. Finally after ten minutes we were done, and we walked back towards the car. Next we had to do more shopping.


“ Where are we going now ”? I asked my mum. “ Westfield ” my mum replied. “Great” I said sarcastically. Five minutes later we had arrived. I walked inside the building and smelt the the familiar smell of fries. I was starving, but I didn’t say anything. First we had to buy jewellery, so a couple of minutes later we were walking around in a jewellery store. This wasn’t as boring as baby factory, but it was still a bit boring. We walked around the store trying to find things we could buy. The pile of jewellery in my mum's arms got taller and by the time we had to pay, we had 20 pieces of jewellery.


After we paid we went into another jewellery store, to get even more jewellery for my cousins. Also my dad had told us to get extra things just in case. This time I helped them. After a while I got bored, so I left my mum and sister to explore the shop. Some of the things looked prettier than a diamond sparkling in the sun. After a while I got bored again so I slowly walked towards my mum and my sister. I was happy to find my mum and sister paying.


Next we had to get something for my aunt. So a couple of minutes later we were walking around in one of the many clothing stores. My mum said we had to get something she could wear in winter, so we walked around trying to find something my for my aunt. A couple of minutes later my sister had found the perfect item, it was a knitted sweater. As my mum payed I realised that my feet were aching. I looked looked around to find a place to sit down and I failed.


“ Can we go now” ? I asked. “ Yes” my mum replied. Finally I thought. I was exhausted and my feet were killing me. We went outside, found our car and drove away. On the way home my sister and my mum talked about what else they needed to buy. I listened for a while, but I got bored and I took out my book and started to read. My book was called fantastic beasts and where to find them. It was very interesting and before I knew it we were home.


My day had been a very long and exhausting one. I was relieved to be home. For the rest of the day I watched movies on my chromebook.
