asked to write an assignment for school about something important that happened to you. Or, 
you might need to report an event you experienced or an event for a newspaper.

Practice writing situation: 
Think of an incident that changed how you thought about something or someone. It could be 
a happy incident, like when you made friends with someone, or an unhappy one, like a time 
you got injured. In either case, it should be something that happened in a short time.
