Sample Answer of Describe a Toy You Liked in Your Childhood

Well, during my childhood I was fond of buying toys. Now I want to mention here a toy which I really liked the most when I was a child, and it was a doll.

I still remember, one day I went to a toys shop with my parents and there I bought a lot of toys and when we were just about to leave the shop then suddenly I saw a beautiful doll wearing a pink coloured gown and told my parents that I want this also, but they didn’t agree as I already bought more.

But after returning home, I didn’t play with those new toys as I was feeling sad because I wanted that doll. At first, my parents thought I would be okay the next day and would start playing with new ones. But the next day I started crying and did a lot of drama, and at last, my father went to that shop again and bought me that gorgeous doll.

After getting that doll, I felt over the moon. I don’t know why but that doll was really different from others, and surprisingly even today, I also have that doll, and now I gave it to my niece to play with that, and she also likes to play with that. So it’s all about the toy that I liked.
