  My sample:
I would say my childhood, or before I started school. I used to have so much fun with the boys in my neighborhood. We played games, climbed mountains and swam in the river. I was so carefree those days. I remember once my playmates and I went hiking in the mountain and got lost. We spent the night in the wood and were so scared. We were afraid that something would come out and eat us. Our parents did not know what had happened to us. They were so upset about us that they even went to the police. Luckily we found our way back the next day. Now when I look back at it, I just think how fun it used to be and how happy I used to be. There were no worries or responsibilities. The only worry I had was how to have much more fun the next day. There was no schoolwork to worry about, no examinations to depress me, no worry about future jobs, or finding myself a girlfriend. I really missed those good old days and hoped that I could revisit the good time in my dreams.
