The Tim じぁん!!!
It was sunny today. In class, I was studying birds, and I happened to get a little peckish. My focus drifted to roasted chicken. Then a word came across my mind that I'd learned somewhere before that describes a prepared chicken. It was so vague, but I knew I'd certainly learned it. Could it be “plucked, seasoned chicken” ? No, that wasn't the case! This thing puzzled me all day, even during recess and lunchtime. I thought hard and long but no good. Later, with Dad's help, I finally found it: "rotisserie chicken." I jotted it down on a sticker and stuck it on the fridge just in case. What a day, stuck on one word!

It was sunny today. In my class, I was studying birds, and I happened to get a little peckish. My focus drifted to roasted chicken. Then a word came to my mind that I'd learned somewhere before which describes a prepared chicken. It was so vague, but I was sure I'd certainly learned it. Could it be “plucked, seasoned chicken” ? No, that wasn't the case! This thing puzzled me all day long, even during recess and lunchtime. I thought long and hard but to no avail. Later, with my Dad's help, I finally found it: "rotisserie chicken." I jotted it down on a sticker and stuck it on the fridge just in case. What a day, stuck on one word!
phrase. If you do something to no avail or to little avail, what you do fails to achieve what you want. "His efforts were to no avail" / The more common expression is "long and hard." I must say congratulate you on your exceptional writing! Please feel free to book one Trial Lesson or ask me anything you are interested in regarding the English language!

It was sunny today. In class, I was studying birds, and I happened to get a
little peckish. My focus drifted to roast (for some reason in the UK we say roast chicken) chicken. Then a word crossed my
mind that I'd learned somewhere before that describes a prepared chicken. It was
so vague, but I knew I'd certainly learned it. Could it be “plucked, seasoned
chicken” ? No, that wasn't the case! This thing puzzled me all day, even during
recess and lunchtime. I thought hard and long but no good. Later, with Dad's
help, I finally found it: "rotisserie chicken." I jotted it down on a sticker
and stuck it on the fridge just in case. What a day, stuck on one word!
Haha. Nice chicken though!

It was sunny today. In class, I was studied birds, and I happened to get a little peckish. My focus drifted to roasted chicken. Then a word came to my mind that I'd learned earlier somewhere that describes a prepared chicken. It was so vague, but I knew I'd certainly learned it. Could it be “plucked, seasoned chicken” ? No, that wasn't the case! This thing puzzled me all day, even during recess and lunchtime. I thought hard and long but no good. Later, with Dad's help, I finally found it: "rotisserie chicken."
