The+Black+Sheep

Task 1

I warned Alison not to climb that day, but she was as stubborn as a mule and wouldn´t listen to me. Being also very brave she needed to prove herself she could do it. I should have known we were about to face a living hell on the summit. Until that evening everything was going extremely well so we couldn´t even imagine that a hurricane was coming towards us, especially during the calm weather. On the descent we were hanging on the wall of the mountain with too much equipment on our backs, Alison was too far to reach for as she had no chance of saving her life when she was struck. I saw Pepe on the other side of the wall and yelled at him to hold tight. Luckily Pepe was strong and well-built and, as he was determined to succed, he could make it. I can´t believe that both of us managed to survive on that dreadful moment, and on such a hostile place. I am deeply grieved at the loss in Alison´s family and in all of us who knew her.

 Task 2  That Monday I took the bus to my job interview in Buenos Aires. I thought this was a good idea because it would give me a spare few minutes to revise my CV. Unfortunately, some strange old man in shaggy clothes sat next to me and started mumbling things about his life so I wasn’t able to pay much attention to my CV. He would talk to me on and on not even bothering to notice the fact that I couldn’t care less, his breath smelled like wine and it was only half past nine in the morning.My luck was about to get worse. When we were entering 9 de Julio Avenue, just after the end of the highway, there was a street demonstration held by an animal rights organization. I was just a few blocks away from the company were I had the interview, but I couldn’t even get out of the bus for more than twenty minutes because of the crowd in the street and the traffic jam. I cant believe I got the job anyway, thank God they were aware of the demonstration. I was upset at the whole thing for a while, until I realised that those people were supporting a fair cause.
