[00:00.20]I Need Glasses|[00:02.25] I have been having trouble seeing the blackboard.|[00:05.05] Everything is blurry.|[00:07.11] I keep getting headaches.|[00:09.53] I told my mother about it,|[00:11.34] and she made an appointment with the optometrist.|[00:14.45] I went to a place where they made me read words|[00:17.68] and letters on a chart.|[00:19.55] Some of the words were big,|[00:21.10] and some were very small.|[00:24.03] I tried to read everything,|[00:26.02] but sometimes I couldn't see some of the small letters.|[00:29.50] The optometrist would cover one of my eyes|[00:32.36] while I read the chart.|[00:34.79] Then, she would cover my other eye.|[00:37.59] She even put some drops in my eyes.|[00:40.51] I asked the optometrist if I had passed or failed the test.|[00:45.49] She laughed, and said that it wasn't the kind of test|[00:49.35] that you passed or failed.|[00:51.09] She was just trying to find out if I needed glasses.|[00:54.88] I did need glasses.|[00:57.30] My mother and I looked around.|[00:59.35] There were many pairs of frames.|[01:01.59] I wanted something that was in style.|[01:04.20] I tried on many pairs of frames.|[01:06.82] Some of them looked good on me,|[01:08.68] and some of them looked really funny on me.|[01:11.62] I finally chose a frame that was my favorite.|[01:14.85] I gave them to a lady who did some measurements.|[01:18.09] She told me to come back on Friday to get my glasses.|[01:21.82] On Friday, I got my glasses.|[01:24.43] My friends liked them.|[01:25.99] They said I looked smart in my glasses.|[01:28.60] I wore them to school on Monday,|[01:31.15] and I was able to see the blackboard clearly.|[01:34.45] I didn't realize how much I hadn't been able to see.|[01:38.12] Now I don't get headaches anymore.|[01:41.10] I'm glad that I have my glasses.|[01:44.15] Everything is a lot clearer now.
