Ex. 1 on page 35 • theme • equipment • sneakers • fantasy • experiment • minority • come to life
Ex. 2 on page 35 When I was young my sneakers made me feel cool. When I wore them I imagined being part of a fantasy and going to a theme park. In this dream I would do an experiment trying every ride to see which was the most exciting. When I did finally go to a theme park, I found that it was very different. They showed me wonderful equipment as well as life of the early settlers in America. This seemed so real that this period of history came to life for me. As a result I became very interested in history and studied it at university. Now I advise theme parks to introduce more history of the minority peoples in America, like the native Indians. This is all because of the way I felt about my sneakers.
