Last week, I got invited to a friend's graduation brunch at a restaurant, Kiki on the River.
It was my first restaurant visit during the covid19 pandemic. The first thing that wowed me
was the atmosphere and beautiful decoration. As the name suggests, it is located right on
the Miami river.
In keeping with regulations, the tables were set six feet apart from each other. Both the
staff and everyone not sitting at a table were wearing masks. The staff cleaned and replaced
tablecloths between sets of diners. Upon entry, our temperatures were taken, and no more
than four or five persons were seated at a table. Another safety precaution they took was
having the menus available via QR codes. We scanned it with a phone camera and a PDF
file of the menus would appear.
The open-air atmosphere made it a pleasant experience. From our table, we saw both
normal sized boats, and huge cargo ships pass by as they cruised down the Miami river. To
eat, I had seared tuna with a side of roasted mixed vegetables. The tuna was prepared
medium rare. Everyone at the table was talking about how flavorful the food was, and we all
agreed that it was some of the best restaurant food we had in a while.
Overall, my experience eating at a restaurant during a pandemic was positive. It gives
me a deeper appreciation for people who work in the service industry, and I thank them for all
that they do in trying to protect everyone.

Cosplay
Cosplay is the act of dressing up as a character of a movie, game or comic. People
who do it regularly are called cosplayers. Cosplayers may also go above and beyond
copying their character‟s outfits. They might even role-play as the characters, copying their
mannerisms and gestures.
The term „cosplay‟ appeared in the 1980s. Its practice has its roots in early 15th
century carnivals, where people dressed up as objects, concepts, famous historical figures,
or popular characters from fiction or stage plays. Cosplay started at the 1st World Science
Fiction Convention. Contemporary cosplay follows in this tradition and is often done at
comic or pop culture conventions, like at San Diego Comic Conventions.
Now, with shows like Marvel's Wanda Vision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,
cosplay is becoming more and more mainstream.
One of the aims of cosplay is to portray a character. You can do this accurately by
copying a character‟s exact look, down to the details. You can also put your own creative
spin on it. Cosplayers achieve their looks through a mixture of costumes and properties
such as wigs, and accessories.

19. “Cosplayers may also go above and beyond copying their character‟s outfits.”

A. accessory

The Mice once called a meeting to decide on a plan to free themselves of their enemy, the
Cat. At least they wished to find some ways of knowing when she was coming, so they might
have time to run away. Indeed, something had to be done, for they lived in such constant
fear of her claws that they hardly dared stir from their dens by night or day.
Many plans were discussed, but none of them was thought good enough. At last a very
young Mouse got up and said:
"I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. All we have to do
is to hang a bell about the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know
immediately that our enemy is coming."
All the Mice were surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before. But in the
midst of the rejoicing over their good fortune, an old Mouse arose and said:
"I will say that the plan of the young Mouse is very good. But let me ask one question: Who
will bell the Cat?”
