Question

求英语大神帮忙翻译以下一段文章

这是一个沙漏，外表很美观，里面的沙是紫色的。这是在我八岁生日时，妈妈把它作为生日礼物给了我。在此之前，我就十分喜欢这个沙漏，我经常走进店里，趴在柜子上看着这个沙漏。妈妈很细心，知道我想要什么，便买给了我，我很感谢妈妈。
当然，这个沙漏能计算时间，只要把它倒过来，等沙子漏完。一次正好是三分钟，我经常用它限定自己在时间内完成某件事情，这既方便又给予了我很大的乐趣。在这个沙漏的顶部，有两个漂亮的心形贴纸，我非常喜欢这个美丽而又实用的沙漏。
↑求大神翻译成英文，语句尽量初中水平，顺便帮我看看演讲了话能演讲多久（正常语速）感激不尽

翻译的好，我会加分
