Describe a toy you were given as a child
You should say:
· When you got the toy
· What it was like
· Who gave you the toy
· And explain how you felt about it
When I was a child, I used to have a teddy bear, which was called Pooh. He was named after
the book character Winnie the Pooh. If I remember rightly, he was given to me by my parents
on my 6th birthday. I have a vivid memory of losing him once when we were visiting London
Zoo. I screamed and wailed, but luckily he had been handed in to the lost property office. I
cuddled and hugged him when I got him back and I promised to never lose him again. In
actual fact, I still have him and he sits on my bed.
Anyway, what does he look like... well now he’s pretty scruffy and he has seen better days.
When I first got him, he had lovely soft fur, but because he had to be washed after he got lost his fur is all matted and it isn’t as soft as it used to be.
When I became a teenager, I got rid of a lot of my old toys because I no longer played with
them and they were cluttering up my bedroom. However, the one thing I kept was Pooh. I
could never part with him because he’s part of the family.
Like I said, he has seen better days and he is a bit tatty now. On one occasion, I was fighting
with my brother and he grabbed Pooh and pulled one of his legs off. You can imagine how
devastated I was! Fortunately, my mum was able to stitch his leg back on.
I feel that it’s essential to keep some things from your childhood and I’m pleased I’ve kept
this particular toy because it was like a comfort blanket for me when I was younger and still
now, if I’m having a bad day, I’ll give him a cuddle and feel a bit better.

Describe a toy you were given as a child.
When you got the toy
When I was a child, I received a teddy bear named Pooh for my 6th birthday. He was named after the beloved book character, Winnie the Pooh, and was a gift from my parents.
What it was like
Pooh was initially a delightful teddy bear with soft, cuddly fur. However, as time passed and after a few washes, his fur became matted and less plush. Despite his wear and tear, Pooh remains a cherished item. He’s a bit scruffy and tatty now, but he still holds significant sentimental value.
Who gave you the toy
The teddy bear was a gift from my parents. They chose it for me on my 6th birthday, and it quickly became one of my favorite toys.
And explain how you felt about it
Pooh was more than just a toy; he was a source of comfort and companionship. I remember vividly the distress I felt when I lost him during a visit to London Zoo. I screamed and cried until he was found and returned to me. After that experience, I made a promise never to lose him again. Even as a teenager, when I cleared out many of my old toys, I kept Pooh because he felt like a part of the family. There was an incident when my brother accidentally damaged Pooh, but my mum mended him, which was a great relief. Even now, Pooh serves as a comfort blanket for me. On tough days, cuddling him brings a sense of solace and familiarity.
