He fell in love with her at first sight. The moment their eyes met, he thought to himself, “What a charming girl!” Then he introduced himself and they talked happily. At that moment, he felt he was on top of the world.

John attended a masquerade last night. During the masquerade, he met a girl. They fell in love with each other at first sight. However, both of them were too shy to have enough courage to express their feelings. They didn’t talk much, but looked at each other all the time. To John, the mere eye contact with the girl was the happiest moment in his life! 

After the masquerade, John walked out his dorm, playing his guitar, and singing love song. He could not help thinking of the girl he met at the party. How he missed her big watery eyes, her voice, and even the smell of her perfume. He sang joyfully, but so loudly that he disturbed others’ sleep. They were incensed by John’s voice. One man even cursed at him. Feeling embarrassed, John ran back to his dorm in no time. Then he saw a girl standing in front of his door. John couldn’t believe his eyes. It was the girl he met at the masquerade! (169 words) (30103)

At a graduation costume party, every student acted as an imaginary character. All of a sudden, I saw a lovely girl dressed in the Snow White costume, and fell in love with her at first sight. From then on, I couldn’t stop thinking about her pretty face. After the party, I knew her name was Lucy and where she lived. Right then I made up my mind to show my feeling to her in an amazing way.

It was a romantic night with the bright moon in the sky. I thought that singing a song for her was an excellent way to express my love. I started playing my guitar, singing the song I’d written for her. While I was singing happily, a man frowned at me and started shouting because the sound from the guitar was really annoying. I felt really embarrassed and left. “Maybe I can’t see her again,” I thought. However, on my way home, I ran into Lucy! At that moment I knew that she didn’t know what I had done yet. Then I invited her to a walk in the park. To my delight, she agreed. In the park, I played the song again and this time no one said I was noisy. Although Lucy said nothing while she was listening, she asked me to escort her home afterwards. I knew it was a really good beginning.      (232 words) (30117)
