Well, guess what! I'm in my Journalism class right now and... I have an assignment I have to do! Basically I have to write a feature paragraph (an article that describes more than tells facts) about my most exciting/best moment in the past year.
Ok, so I am going to write about how this past summer I went to Florida for vacation, and how I was waiting in line to ride the new Harry Potter Ride (a.k.a. The Forbidden Journey).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moving paintings hung on the stone walls as my family and I raced through the corridors of Hogwarts. Our footsteps echoed through the hallways and within minutes we were waiting in line for "The Forbidden Journey." My brother and I paced back and forth, moving two feet in the line every few seconds.
I tapped my foot from impatience until we were finally next of the line.
"Please follow her and enjoy the ride," the employee in front of us instructed.
We did as we were told and my parents merely chucked at me as we made our way across the moving conventor belt. Quickly, we strapped ourselves in listening to the screams of surprise ahead of us.
I grinned at my brother and he asked, "What do you think it'll be like?"
I shrugged but ruffled his hair, "I don't know, but I know we'll have a great..." The words dropped out of my lips as we were plunged into darkness and thrown up and down wildly. Crashes of thunder and sights of lightning made me cringe against the seat. We plummeted down a hole and a dragon snarld at us and blew steams of smoke from it's breath. I shrieked and kicked my legs, feeling my heart pound from surprise or fright: I didn't know.
The seat we were riding plunged again into the unknown. Holograms of ghosts and Harry popped out of nowhere and lead us to safety. But the ride wasn't over yet, fog showered us and the voices of the Harry Potter characters whispered warnings. I figeted in my seat, but the buckels and restraints were like iron bars. All too soon, the ride was over, and I wobbled when I stood from my chair. I clutched my brother, and he said, "Let's ride it again!"
And that's exactly what we did.

So what do you think? 1-10? 10 being good. Well anyway I'll be sure to check out your Feature writing, if you leave a link! And I'll be sure to comment. Later! Oh, and my computer is being weird, it won't let me leave comments because it's blocking my email or something. But I'll try to do my best to comment! Later for real!
Sincerely Tiffany Tao!!
