You should say:

When this happened

Who you were with

What you saw

And how you felt about watching the sky

Ok then, well what I’ve decided to talk to you about is the time that I watched a solar eclipse, which was pretty spectacular actually, cos it was a total eclipse, not just a partial one. And I’d actually go so far as saying it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

But anyway, as for when this happened, well I can’t actually remember when it was exactly, cos it was quite a while ago, but I guess it was probably around um… three or four years ago, something like that. I do remember the time of day quite clearly though. It was late morning, sometime around 11-ish, and basically, because it was such a big thing, you know, like a once in a lifetime occurrence, pretty much everyone left what they were doing to come out onto the street and watch it. So where I was standing,there must have been, like, a hundred of us all looking up at the sky to try and get a glimpse of the eclipse.

And it was incredible, because one moment the sky was bright and sunny, just like any normal day, and then the next, it went completely dark, you know, like, pitch black, when the sun disappeared behind the moon. So it felt pretty surreal, seeing the sky in darkness at midday for a few moments. And um.. I remember I actually got goose pimples watching it, you know, I was in total awe!

So uh.. yeah, I don’t really know what else to say about it! It was just really, really cool to watch, and I’m sure I’ll remember it for many years to come. Thanks for listening!
