A) Hyperbole
A hyperbole is a dramatic statement that is not meant to be taken literally.
Explanation:
Please do not use "and/or" in either formal or informal writing. In common English, the "or" is a "non-exclusive or" which means "either A or B, or A and B". When I say "I can have a banana OR I can have coffee" then I am also OK with having both. Having a banana does not prevent me from having coffee.
Retell the main events from the story Through the Tunnel, by Doris Lessing, as Jerry might tell them to his best friend when he returns from vacation.
"My mother and I went abroad for vacation, to a beautiful beach. But, guess what? On the first day there, I discovered a much interesting place. It was a wild beach, so different from the one we were on. I begged my mom to let me go there and she finally did, although I think she was not very convinced. Anyway, I did! I went there! You wouldn't believe how wonderful it was. I met some local boys there that could dive through a hole in a wall of rocks under the water. They went through the hole and came out in a different beach! And I tried! At first, it was hard, I had to prepare my lungs, it took me a few days to do it properly. Besides, you know how my nose always bleeds when I push myself so hard... It didn't matter to me, my mom was not happy with this. But I really wanted to do it! So I kept trying until, the day before coming back, I finally managed to do it. I was so happy!
When I got back home and told my mother she asked me not to do it again, she seemed worried and I agreed not to do it anymore. I just feel happy I could do it once and I am so proud! I loved this vacations!
What about your vacations? Have you had fun?"
