Last holiday, I was in Mexico City with my Dad. It was a fascinating place and
the people were friendly. The most amazing thing happened to me when I was
looking for the Paseo de la Reforma. It is a street with beautiful trees, plants and
statues. I was nearly lost and studying my map when I saw a man with colourful
and unusual clothes in front of the cathedral. So I asked him, “Can you tell me
where the Paseo de la Reforma is?” he smiled and answered, “It is only two
blocks away from here.”
I thought I took the wrong street because I didn‟t find the Paseo de la Reforma.
Just when I was thinking about going back to my hotel, the man appeared again
and showed me the way. As I was walking down the street, I saw the statue of
Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec leader. I was going to take the photo of it when I
realized something unusual. The statue looked exactly like the man I saw in front
of the cathedral! He was wearing the same clothes. Even his grin was similar.

I‟ve got a painful experience that I went through last semester. I joined the
cross country. We were running this race competing against several I other
schools. The entire race was long and dreadful. It took place in the desert so it was
realy hot and humid. We ran up and down the hills.
It was getting awful after 10 minutes of the race. People who ran in front
of me made me breathe the dust they created. It wasn‟t so bad until my throat
started to hurt. It was very painful. I had a hard time to catch my breath and I
sweat a lot. I really hated it.
In the end I managed to finish the race. I felt really good after that. I felt
fully alive again. That race was a horrible experience. That is the reason why I
quitted the team a week later.

20. What does the second paragraph tell us about?
