II. Sample Essay Describing a Wristwatch

1. Describing a Wristwatch, Sample 1 (Standard)

On my 8th birthday, my dad gifted me a stunning wristwatch. He hoped this gift would ensure I never arrived late for school again.

It was a durable and modern electronic wristwatch. As soon as I received it, I put it on my wrist. The size of the watch was just right, fitting my hand perfectly. The rubber strap was easy to adjust, and my dad helped me fasten it to the correct notch to ensure it wasn't too tight. I proudly showed it off to my friends, who were all very impressed.

Unlike traditional watches with stationary hands and numbers, mine had continuously changing digits. The watch face resembled a miniature screen, displaying the time down to the minute. It also had an alarm function. When it was time, the watch would beep loudly, waking me up promptly. I could easily read the time even in bright sunlight, and I didn't have to worry about it getting wet in the rain as it was waterproof. Occasionally, I would wipe off any dirt from the watch strap with a damp cloth.

The wristwatch was a meaningful gift from my dad. It became a tireless companion, silently working and reminding me to be punctual. Thanks to my dad's watch, I no longer overslept or arrived late to school.

2. Describing a Wristwatch, Sample 2 (Standard)

My older sister, a university student, bought me a wristwatch with a Doraemon cartoon character design as a gift when she came home for summer break. I adore this watch and always wear it on my wrist.

I'm a huge fan of the Doraemon cartoon series, and I love anything featuring this adorable robot cat. When my sister gifted me this watch, I was overjoyed, especially seeing the Doraemon design on it. My first impression of the watch was that it looked cute and compact, with vibrant yellow color and the Doraemon image standing out prominently.

The watch is made of metal with a yellow leather strap. The round watch face has a clear protective glass layer, with the smiling Doraemon image inside. The watch hands are positioned at Doraemon's nose, with each hand serving a different function. The second hand moves the fastest, followed by the minute hand, and the hour hand moves the slowest. The watch has small dots encircling it to mark the intervals between the numbers. There's also a small knob beside the watch face for adjusting the time, which can be easily pulled out and rotated. The watch strap is adjustable for width, and I believe that with careful maintenance, I can continue wearing this watch even as I grow older.

I'm truly grateful to my sister for giving me such a meaningful gift. Ever since I got the watch, I've been diligently checking the time, no longer arriving late for school or forgetting to come home.

My grandfather bought me a birthday present for my 9th birthday almost 2 months in advance. Unfortunately, he passed away suddenly before he could give it to me in person. Since receiving the gift, a wristwatch from him, I have never taken it off.

The wristwatch my grandfather bought me is the most beautiful one to me. From its size to its design, it fits me perfectly and suits my personality. Despite being at an age where boys typically prefer colorful and playful watches, such as those with superhero designs, I find this black and silver watch very elegant and beautiful.
