WRITING: Writing a Paragraph telling an anecdote.
I had brunch at El Meson last Sunday. It was the best mexican food I have tried in a long time. They prepared a wonderful traditional buffet with tetelas, gordita de harina, cafe de olla in a clay pot, and more than you just cant get anywhere else. It was just like my grandmother used to make.
When I was a child, my family went on a summer vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains every year. One year, my aunt saw a black bear while she was hiking She was so terrified she ended up sitting on a boulder for an hour just to make sure it had gotten far enough away from her. She still won´t go hiking alone anywhere.
You learn things you will never forget. In high school I took typing, among other classes. My English was very rudimentary at the beginning and I struggled with pronunciation. One day I asked my classmate sitting next to me for a shit of paper. She looked at me oddly and said, Do you mean a sheet of paper? I just didnt understand what the difference was until the teacher very kindly explained it to me. I was very embarrased. I have never forgotten the difference between the pronunciation of shit and sheet.
