A Trekking Journal
November 12, 1997
Today (be)________ the second day of my trek around Mount Annapurna. I am exhausted and my legs (shake)____________ ; I just hope I am able to complete the trek. My feet (kill, really) _____________ me and my toes (bleed)________________ , but I (want, still) ________________ to continue.
Nepal is a fascinating country, but I have a great deal to learn. Everything (be) ___________ so different, and I (try) ______________ to adapt to the new way of life here. I (learn) _____________ a little bit of the language to make communication easier; unfortunately, I (learn, not) ___________________ foreign languages quickly. Although I (understand, not) __________________ much yet, I believe that I (improve, gradually) ___________________.
I (travel, currently)______________________ with Liam, a student from Leeds University in England. He (be) a nice guy, but impatient. He (walk, always) ___________________ ahead of me and (complain) ____________________ that I am too slow. I (do)___________________ my best to keep up with him, but he is younger and stronger than I am. Maybe, I am just feeling sorry for myself because I am getting old.
Right now, Liam (sit) ________________ with the owner of the inn. They (discuss) ___________________ the differences between life in England and life in Nepal. I (know, not) ___________________ the real name of the owner, but everybody (call, just) ___________________him Tam. Tam (speak) __________________ English very well and he (try)___________________ to teach Liam some words in Nepali. Every time Tam (say) ___________________ a new word, Liam (try)__________________ to repeat it. Unfortunately, Liam (seem, also) ____________________ to have difficulty learning foreign languages. I just hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.
