I felt so good in my yellow Dolce&Gabbana dress... "Oh shit", I thought when I saw other girls wearing my same dress... "What a shame! Damn it!" But suddenly I saw a man walking forward us. "Meee! Me! Choose me!" I screamed but he couldn't hear me. Finally he chose me. I was so happy! "I'm the prettiest of these girls!" I thought but... He STRIPPED me. "What the fuck are you doing????" He didn't take notice of my beggings and bite my head. I couldn't escape. I died cursing him. Fuck! [Who am I? A baaaaanana!] 4. FCE, writing part It was a dark and stormy night and I was reading a book. It was so boring and old, maybe it was the reason why my teacher has assigned it to my class. Five minutes were passed and I was already bored. So, I decided to close it, without leave any bookmark in it. I went to the living room. The storm raging outside made seem the room very quiet and cold. I hate storms. I'm afraid of thunder and blinding light of lightings. So that night I made my husband promise to be with me. Unfortunately he couldn't because he had to be in his office to finish a job. When I was thinking about that the light went off. Fuck! At the same moment I heard a noise. And all that I remembered is that my heart stopped beating when I saw an outline of a big bear, trying to enter to my home! "Oh my god!" I screamed "I haven't lock the door!" "Rawr" he answered. And I died.
