<p>Essay
I will write about a Table. How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number… but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>
<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>
