Answer:

One day, I was walking down the street when all of a sudden, I got a phone call from my friend. Apparently, he got a new phone, and it just so happened to be the phone I've wanted for months! He had engrossed me in the topic of all of the amazing features this new phone had, so I rushed home, and I looked the phone up. I got very excited, but my excitement quickly turned into an impending sense of doom when I saw the price tag. The price was astronomical, and it would take me at least six months of chores to earn enough money to buy such an expensive piece of technology!

Now I decided to call my parents on my really old flip-phone. I really dislike it because whenever someone with a smartphone sees me with my old flip phone, it makes me very conscious about myself. Anyways, my parents picked up, and when I begged for the new phone, it was pretty clear from my parents' apathy that I was going to be on my own, even though I remembered my manners by saying "please and thank you." However, I am not one to give up, and using my deft negotiation skills that I learned in school, I persuaded them to buy me that sweet new phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

If personal pronouns are not allowed, replace "I" with a name and "my" with "his"/"her." Also, I highly recommend you proofread my essay, but I hope my answer can help you get started!
