Berries

Berries

Add to favorites
It is so hot outside. We should find possibility to drink a lot and to eat right food. The best supper for me consists of berries. I've got cherries and raspberries from my sister's garden and I have found blueberries in the forest. That's so natural for Belorusian people to look for berries. The other situation is with Americans. I spent summer-2004 in a Jewish children's camp in Washington state. We slept outdoor, eat and took a shower outdoor. Big blackberry bushes growed near our camp and in the evening we borrow berries to the common kitchen. Every time Americans said:  "Russian girls are crazy. They eat wild berries". That's strange, but American campers thought that only berries from a store could be eaten.

Awesome, Marina!
I could not leave the city this summer, I really miss them. Buying berries at the market cannot be compared with picking them fresh. Thanks for your post.

Your score today is:
Words: 125
Content: 125 х 2 = 250
Language: 125 х 1= 125
Multimedia: 100
Total: 475 points
My recommendation is: choose a title that perfectly fits the text. In your case you are making and interesting observation about cross-cultural differences, but a reader cannot predict that from the headline. Right headlines help attract the appropriate reader.
