P22, Translation
Although my grandmother was illiterate, she had a good stock of myths and legends.
When I was young I gave her no peace, constantly asking her to tell me stories. After she had finished her housework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories, all the while rocking me in rhythm. These stories and her expressive face appealed profoundly to me.
Having noticed my interest in stories, my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading. They bought many storybooks with illustrations, and whenever free, they would read these stories to me over and over again. By and by I had a vocabulary large enough to read on my own.
Today, I still live in gratitude to my grandmother and my parents. Without them, I could never have become a writer.

S tudy after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases. F or example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods. T herefore, in the past decade, the American
Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats, and to boost consumption of fruits, vegetables, and grains. M eanwhile, the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid which encourages a minimum of 3 vegetables and 2 fruit servings per day. H owever, many Americans still don’t meet /listen to these recommendations. A good case in point is Peter. H e developed a cardiovascular disease due to an excessive intake of animal fats. A lthough his doctor suggested he should adopt a healthy diet, such as eating plant-based foods, he was too stubborn to listen. H e said he couldn’t resist the temptation of dishes with meat and that meat would always feature prominently in his ideal diet. P eople’s lack of awareness of the need to eat more plant-based foods has heightened the government’s concern and it is launching a new campaign to increase public awareness in this area. W ell, how much fruit and vegetable have you eaten today?

W hen I enrolled in Math 202, I anticipated difficulties because I was not well grounded in mathematics in high school. T he course was taught by Professor Richardson, a fine specimen of
an old-fashioned gentleman, formally dressed, soft spoken, and cordial to his students. H owever, when it came to academic matters, he was by no means an easy person.
