- The way I would solve this is be more descriptive with what you say before. this isn't the most elegant way to solve the issue so perhaps you can take some more ideas from other contributors as well: ex. He turned on the track and a man (describe briefly) behind him ran past. He watched for a moment, and another man (describe) running the opposite way passed and sped away further behind him. (is the man surprised that the other is going opposite of him or is this normal?)0 votedNovember 28, 20190
- What an intriguing story it was quite nice to read. I felt a little of "The Alchemist" vibe to it it's great not sure how you will end it. You have the choice of using a capitalize name for the sun, wind, cloud, etc. since you personify them or you can keep it as you did. Just an option. Good luck Hyun.In a rural area, there lived a rat couple.They were really happy but had one worry.They didn’t have a baby. They prayed for a baby every day.“Please give us a baby.” They asked.Because of their true heart, they soon had a beautiful baby girl.They raised the baby with love. She grew well and became a beautiful lady. She was so pretty that everyone in the town wanted to marry with her.“Please let me marry with your daughter.” One young rat asked.“I can make your daughter to be the happiest girl in the world.” Another rat said.But no one was a perfect rat to them.“My girl’s man has to be the most perfect man in the world.” The rat mother said.Both the husband and wife decided to find a perfect man for their daughter, themselves.“But who would be the most powerful, handsome guy?” The husband asked.The wife said, “Maybe could the Sun in the sky be the good man?”“Maybe." said the husband. "It’s so hot and can make the world warmer and warmer. And it’s even beautiful.”And so the couple made a long ladder and went up to the sun. When they finally met the Sun, they asked him. “You’re the most beautiful, powerful man in the world. Can you be my daughter’s man?” Then the sun laughed.Again they asked. “Will you be our son-in-law?”The Sun shook his head. “No, there’s more powerful, handsome guy.”The couple made puzzled look. “So who’s that?”The Sun sighed and said, “It’s the Dark Cloud. Although I want to shine, if the Dark Cloud blocks me, I can do nothing”.When the couple heard this they were disappointed, but agreed.“Where can we go to meet Dark Cloud?”The Sun kindly told them, “Maybe you’ll see him near the sea cliff.”“It’s not easy to get the best son-in-law.” the wife said.The husband agreed.And so the couple walked to the ocean cliff.When they got there they called out to the Dark Cloud. (perhaps add what they call out ex. "Dark Cloud are you there?")“Thrump” Cloud ran to the couple. "Why did you guys call me?”The rat (husband/wife) said, “I heard that you’re the most powerful man, So can you be our daughter’s husband?”The Dark Cloud listened and shook his head. “Sorry, I can blind the Sun but can’t beat the Wind. When the wind blows strong, I only can kick out. So Wind is more powerful than me.”So they had to find the Wind. When they reached the field, the husband asked, “Where can we go to see the wind?”. Soon the Wind blew. “Why did you find me?”“We’re looking for the most powerful man. Can you be our daughter’s husband?” the couple said.The Wind blew up a gust and showed how strong he is but shook his head. “I might be stronger than the cloud. But not the most powerful in the world.”“Then who would be powerful?” The couple asked.“Even though I blow strongly, the Rock on the mountain doesn’t move at all.”0 votedNovember 25, 20190
- When I was child, I was a very naughty boy. (I got into a lot of trouble?)Yeah I confess it. My poor mother had a hard time with me.I grew up in Mexico City and I didn't like to study. Instead I would go outside play with my friends or just walk around my neighbourhood.I remember one time I spent in "The abandoned house". I used to enter that abandoned house, even at night, and my (dumb?/crazy?/brave?) friends followed me. :PWe wanted to see what was inside the house, so one morning(,) a friend and I both went in. When we went inside we saw many strange things: a five-pointed star, women's underwear on the floor, alcohol bottles, blood on the carpet, and other things. But the really (funny?/strange?/scary?) thing that happened was that two men (outside?/ inside the house?) noticed us and came to the house with machetes. I'm sure they didn't know that we were just two innocent kids, but they were armed. Fortunately for us, I saw them and we climbed up to the roof to hide. The guys didn't see us, but I could see them and (what did you do? "kept watch till they went"? or maybe "then we left".)Believe me, we didn't do anything. We were just two very curious kids.0 votedNovember 25, 20190
