Learning Task 1: Analyze the excerpt below. The old lady sat in her empty kitchen table while staring at the old acacia tree. The acacia tree is still sturdy but with few, old, withered leaves. Beside the acacia tree, stood a mango and tamarind tree. She took a deep breath and start to sip her cold coffee. Gone are the days she is happy seeing her children playing outside, climbing in the trees and bullying each other so loud. She also remembered during the days that she served as the leader in the community. She missed her constituents visiting her. She picked all the bills that were accounted to her during pandemic. She silently took a deep breath. The old lady was still thinking of her possible decision to sell her house and lot.
