Ma’am, thanks for the comment. That “Writing a Narrative Paragraph or Essay” really helped me a lot! By the way, just finished reading your chicharon and pangasinan! Oh! And the one about “the dream”! I agree ma’am. I think you need more time for yourself or time for resting. Earlier, I heard that your head was aching or something?
