On an unusually hot morning, I woke up covered in sweat. I felt uncomfortable and tried to find my air conditioner remote on the bedside table, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it. I sat up to look around. I saw that my air conditioner had disappeared! At first, I thought my family had taken it away for maintenance. I felt annoyed and opened my bedroom door, ready to complain. But I froze when I walked into the living room. The television, massage chair, air conditioner and other machines were all missing! My family members were equally shocked, standing in disbelief. For a moment, we thought we had been robbed. I returned to my room to take my phone and call the police. But my phone was also missing! I searched everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found.

Thanks to my superpower, I was not late and warned by the school. Then, I felt sleepy in class because I had ...

My family and I went to my grandfather’s hometown during a school holiday. After lunch, my grandfather asked me to find an old photo album from the storage room. While looking for the album, I noticed that the drawer of the desk was shaking. I guessed it was a tiny animal, so I opened the drawer to check. Inside, I saw a little box with a button. There was a note next to the box: Press to travel through time. I was curious, so I pressed the button. Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the drawer. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself standing in a forest. I looked around and saw several plants, some of them looked different from the ones I knew. I also heard uncommon sounds, like animal noises.  Sound 1 Dinosaur sounds (Film Masters, 2022). Note. Sound that I heard in that forest. Hence, I thought the button was fake and nothing had happened. As I walked farther, I reached a small open space. In front of me was a nest with five huge eggs. I was curious and stepped closer ...
