2 Lies, 1 Truth
1. I touched a baby crocodile during my vacation to South America with my parents in 2005. During the trip we stopped and stayed a few days next to the Amazon River in Peru, one day the tour group decided to tour the Amazon River on a small boat. It was really fun because we stopped along side the riverbanks and went into the deep jungle; I even saw and feed water to spider monkeys (?). The most memorable thing was during the boat ride, the tour guide decided to stop and catch a baby crocodile for the tour group to see. I was only 11 at the time and even though it was really small, it looked like a monster to the ‘mini’ me. But I gathered enough courage to touch its back, but only because the tour guide had its mouth and feet bind together. I learned some interesting facts on baby crocodiles, but I don’t remember them anymore because it was so long ago. This was the thing I remember most about my trip to South America besides the amazing scenery, food, culture and everything else that was there. I really wish I could go back to South America some day and revisit all the amazing places.
2. I used to be a bad girl in kindergarten and wear the cone of shame in the corner of the class in China. It was because my parents weren’t with me and I lived with my grandparents, I was basically out of control and wild. It was the past but really, I was the worst kid in class. I would fight with girls and boys, bully kids on the playground and not listen to a word that my teach say. I really regret it now because I wish I had a better memory of my childhood back in China. Sometimes I wonder why I was like that, it’s not comprehendible to me now because my mind set is different than before. I would also like to say sorry to my grandparents that always had to come and talk to the teachers about my bad behavior, it must have been hard for them to come to kindergarten every week to pick me up from the principles’ office.
3. I love jogging near where I live because it’s next to the Hudson River, the fresh air and smell of grass is the best thing to jog too. I also don’t feel left out or strange when I jog because there are tons of other people jogging too, I hate the feeling where everyone is looking at me because I’m jogging and everyone else is just walking to work or going to school. I feel like jogging cleans my brain from all the stress and nonsense I have to go through everyday at home and in school, sometimes I feel like just jogging forever and never looking back.
Wow! I really cannot tell which one is true and which two are false because you have infused your writing with fantastic details!
