Grammar for Writing 3 : Writing Task Key

Here are your fascinating paragraphs without any words missing:

Yu Ting
Three months ago, my university classmate introduced me to a guy, a computer engineer, to go on a blind date with. At first I asked him to help me fix my laptop in a restaurant, so he just concentrated on upgrading programs instead of talking too much, but I really appreciated his help. After that, we kept talking and getting to know each other via the Internet. We share the same interests and hobbies, such as travelling, going to concerts, and martial arts, and we even have the same taste in food. I think he is my soul mate, for whom I have always looked in my life. We are going to consider our future together.

Ting Ting
When I was a child, I swam in the sea. Actually, I just lay in the sea, floating with a rubber ring. Thus, I am not a good swimmer. However, my friends taught me with a very interesting method. They usually take me to a swimming pool divided into two areas, one of which is one metre and the other two metres deep. They push me into the deep water then leave me alone with my rubber ring. I then ask for help from other swimmers, who are always kind enough to pull me to the one-metre-deep area.

I went to the USA with my friends and teachers in the summer of 1998. The cities we visited were San Francisco and Los Angeles, where Disneyworld impressed me because of its colourful activities and unique architecture. Everyone can have fun and relax; it’s just like a paradise, a world apart from work stress and cities. American culture focuses more on respecting an individual’s choice about their lifestyle. For instance, gays and lesbians are allowed to get married as long as they insert a gay liberation flag in their window.

Adriana
I have worked Banco de la Republico, the central bank of Colombia, since 2004. I work in the inflation department, but I decided to continue with my postgraduate studies. For this reason, I travelled to the UK to study English and start my Masters degree at Essex University. Currently, I am employed by Banco de la Republico de Columbia, and when I graduate I must continue working there.

Cecily
In my high school, I met my boyfriend, my first love. When he travelled to Beijing, he gave me a small red white and blue Channel bag with metal straps. My boyfriend did not tell me the price of the bag, because true love is a priceless treasure.
