Choose ONE topic from the list above and write a paragraph (150-180 words) in your notebook. Your paragraph should have a main idea near the beginning and three or four supporting details.

For example:

It was about a month ago when I had an unusual meal at a restaurant in the city with a few friends. The restaurant was known for its fusion cuisine, so we decided to give it a try. 

The meal started off with a few appetizers that were quite different from what I was used to. The first was a type of seaweed salad with a sweet and sour dressing. It was a bit strange, but I enjoyed it. The second was a type of fish cake served with a spicy sauce, which was definitely something I had never tried before. 

For the main course, we had a variety of dishes. The first one was a type of stir-fry with vegetables and a flavorful spicy sauce that I ended up falling in love with. The second one was a type of noodle dish with fish sauce. It was quite distinctive as I had never tried it before. 

The last dish was so strange, too. It's made using a type of fruit whose name I’d never even heard of. It was served with a rather unusual sort of ice cream. 

All in all, the meal definitely exceeded my expectations for unique and exotic food. However, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something different.
