my parents saying, "Sweetie, you mean everything in the world to us and you are
forever
the apple of our eyes. Happy Birthday! Love parents." I am telling you,
although I was pretty young at that time, those words impressed me a lot.
Until today, I still keep this toy. It has been over ten years since I got it. I love it not
only because of the toy itself, but also because of the
sentimental value it has for
me. The value is
irreplaceable.

Band 9.0 Sample Answer:
I’m going to talk about a musician/songwriter that I admire,
called Adam
Levine.
He’s also a singer who plays the guitar and writes his own songs. I think
he recorded his first album about 10 years ago with his band called Maroon 5, and
he’s released several other CDs since then.
He became successful after many years of writing songs and performing live in
small venues all over the country. Gradually he built a following of people who liked
his music. I think the key to his success was one of his songs that was used on a
TV advertisement. This meant that more people became aware of his music.

I found out about Adam because one of my friends got tickets to see him in concert.
I had
n’t heard any of his music before, but I went along to the gig and really enjoyed
it. After that I bought the first CD, and now I’ve got all of them.
The reason I'm into Adam is that he has worked hard for his success: it takes years
of practice to become a good singer and guitarist,
and he spent several years
playing to very small audiences before he became successful. I also like the fact
that he writes his own music. I admire people who have worked hard to get where
they are.
