When I was, (oh, around) eight years old, I thought it would be fun to learn to play the piano. My parents agreed to
purchase a piano. They told me that I would be required to practice one hour a day, (due to the fact that) piano lessons were expensive. At first, I practiced piano for two hours each day, (with the result that) progressed very rapidly. Every day for two years I raced home (when) school (was) done and practiced the piano with great enthusiasm. Then one day,
something happened. I decided I liked baseball better than the piano. Though I can play the piano rather well (at the
present time), I do not practice as long nor as diligently as I once did.
