Yesterday, I visited my friend Mary, and she told me the most incredible bad luck story. The last week was her graduation, and she had been dreaming about this day for months.
She bought a beautiful dress, cut her hair, and took dance classes. Some hours before the party she changed her clothes and wore her new dress, at that instant the misfortune started.
Regardless all the morning was raining, she went to her grandmother's house to show her the dress. On her way to the house, while she was walking on the sidewalk, a car fell into a muddy pool of water on the street and splashed my friend. Unfortunately, her dress was completely wet.
She stopped and thought that she could clean and dry it. Then, she came back to her house, changed her clothes again, and went to the dry cleaning. It was late, but she hoped it was open, sadly, they were shutting down.
Mary ran to her house, washed, and ironed her dress, but at the same time, the phone started to ring. She answered it and forgot what she was doing. When she remembered, her dress was burned.
She decided to wear a sweater, maybe nobody notices the mess. When she bent to pick up her things, accidentally, pushed a bleach bottle, it busted, and the liquid spread over the dress, the fabric started to fade.
Instead, she dressed up, but she realized that her dress had shrunk, her beautiful dress was ruined! My friend took another dress from her closet and went to the party. She didn't want to miss her graduation.
When she came to the place, it was dark, and she never saw a glass door in front of the room. She crashed into the glass, then she heard a crack, the glass split, and she started to bleed.
When some people came to help her, they asked why she was there because the party would be the following day; moreover, she had confused the graduation date!
In the end, Mary has had the most terrible day of her life and five stitches in her forehead, but luckily it was not her graduation day!

Hello May,
ResponderEliminarThis is very good! I really liked the story and the way you connected the story. Well done!
There are a couple of mistakes that we can discuss in class.

Hi, May. When you talked about the girl who crashed into the glass door I felt very identify with her, because something similar happened to me a long time ago. I was walking on the street with my eyes staring on the floor when I hit my forehead against a huge window glass at the Mas x Menos in Sabanilla. I felt very clumsy! I love your blog!
ResponderEliminarThank you! I'm sorry about your accident :( Thanks for reading my blog! I enjoyed doing it!
