Q: Which sense(s) do you make use of to better remember
English words?
A: To me, I find the sense of sight and hearing helpful. I usually
listen to the pronunciations, look at the words and then read
them aloud. The combination of the two senses helps me
better remember the words.

Fog - Further Thinking 1
(L14-15) She had a feeling that she was being watched by a tall man in a dark
overcoat.
(L21-22) ... she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, but ... the footsteps
were gone.

or WHY NOT?
The writer mentioned these details in order to show that _____.
Polly was in danger
Polly was too nervous
they wanted to help her
they were hiding some secrets
I don't assume him to be a bad guy. Chances are that it was so foggy and dark that the
man accidentally touched Polly as he couldn't see clearly either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have apologized to Polly.

Tip 4: direct description of one's feelings
Fog - Strategy
A grey mist in the morning became a thick fog in the afternoon and
Polly worried if there was any bus running to take her home.
Unfortunately, the bus conductor told it was too foggy for the bus to go to the King Street, suggesting that Polly take the underground to Green Park where she might hopefully find a taxi. When on the train, Polly
felt mounting nervousness because she sensed a tall man in a dark overcoat was watching her. After getting off the train, Polly found the fog
lay like a thick, grey cloud. Polly could feel her heart beating violently
with fear when a rough hand accidentally brushed her cheek. Just as
Polly was at the point of hopelessness, an old man went to her aid.
Blind as he was, he knew very well about the place. Polly finally arrived at home, relieved and grateful. When invited to have a rest, the kind
man politely refused, saying the fog gave him a chance to pay back the help he received when it was sunny.

the North Pole - Application
I was at the North Pole. I was wearing a warm coat, a cotton hat, thick gloves and heavy
boots. However, I still felt my hands and feet were cold. There was such a terrible snowstorm that I could hardly see.
I made my way back to the research camp. I had been out in the snow for three hours and I could not feel my hands. I thought that I needed a hot cup of coffee to warm me up and
recover some strength. It took a long time to struggle through the thick snow, but I knew I
was getting close to the camp, as I could smell food. I shouted to find out whether there was anyone there, but there was no answer. As I slowly moved on, the snowstorm became worse. It became impossible to see where I was going. I almost believed that I would never find my way.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps from behind. I turned around but there was
nothing in sight. I wondered if it was the sound of the wind. I continued walking anyway, but stopped when I heard the footsteps approaching again. My heart began to beat faster and
faster. I was sweating with fear. All of a sudden, I heard a loud noise ring out through the
cold air, and I felt my shoulder was being grasped by a hand. The fact was that now I was
frozen by fear, not by cold.

a continuation
A minute ago, I had wished for someone to come along, but at that
moment I just wanted to run. Then came a man's voice from behind,
“Jack, relax, it's me!” I immediately recognized that was Luke of my research team. I couldn't help screaming as I turned around, because I found a giant bear lying on the ground. It turned out the bear sneaked behind to attack me, and Luke arrived at the very moment and shot the huge creature with a tranquilizer gun. “Thank
you for coming to my aid! You saved my life!” I said in relief. “You are welcome, we are a team and we help each other.” Every time I think of this scary experience, I
feel so fortunate to have a narrow escape and a reliable friend.
