I heard a radio programme recently that talked about how someone bet the American write Ernest Hemmingway he couldn't write a story in 6 words. Hemmingway won the bet, but the story was very sad - something like 'For sale, baby shoes, never worn'. What I'd like you to do this week is write your life story - in 6 words. Quite a challenge! Mine is 'Science in Britain, English in Portugal' which summarises the 2 jobs I've had in two different countries. Others I heard which I liked were 'too young, too old, too late' and 'fell in love, married someone else'. so try to be imaginative and post your 6 word life stories.
Hello
ReplyDeleteI think it is very difficult to do a good synthesis about our life using, only, six words, but I'll try that the following words give you an image about some of the most important points of my life: anxiety, two sons,hard work,dream.
Bye.

Hi Isabel,
ReplyDeleteI know it's not an easy thing to do but I think yours is a very good attempt to summarise the important things in your life. Well done.
Carolyn
Hello, again
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
I have liked, specially, "Too young, too old,too late" , it's very nice, reveals sensitivity and finally touch me. Sometimes, I have realized that the opportunity has gone!...At first, the immaturity linked to the youth and at last the right time passed
Bye
Isabel
Isabel,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. when I heard that one I also thought of all the opportunities I missed because I felt I was too young or too inexperienced. Hopefully we learn something from it when we're older and try make the most of every opportunity.
Carolyn
Hi everyone, I hope you're all fine!
ReplyDeleteThis is a huge challenge I think...
I never thought about my life to be written in six words. But if I needed to do so it will be something like " dreamy college girl, ice creams,childish".
Well, I'm not always eating ice creams, tough I love it, but I eat it many times, when I'm not carryng on a diet!!! :)
See you!!! Bye, Margarida!
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeletethis challenge is quite dificult but when I think in 6 word to summarise my life stories I think: too curious, too restless, too hopeful.
Bye see you tomorrow!
Hi Ana and Margarida,
ReplyDeleteI like your life stories.Margarida ,I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself - I don't think you're childish at all, quite the opposite in fact. And Ana - I think being curious and hopeful are very positive qualities, although they do say that curiosity killed the cat.
See you later,
Carolyn
