Writing exercise

Original

Right now I’m watching Friends which is an American sitcom. There are ten seasons in total and I’m still watching the first season. I was attracted just after watching one episode. The series revolves around the six friends Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler and Joey in the area of New York City,which shows their friendship, work, trouble, love, laughter and so on.

I watched the ninth episode last weekend which is about Thanksgiving party. Monica and Ross prepared their Thanksgiving dinner themselves because their parents went on a trip, Phoebe and Joey also wanted to celebrate together with them. Rachel would go skiing with her family. Chandler didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving because his parents divorced on that day when he was young. Chandler rushed into Monica’s home suddenly and told them that one big balloon was flying over the Washington Square Park, so all of them went to the roof to see it. When they came back they found the keys were left in the room. All food were burned. At that time Monica lost her mind uncharacteristically, she cried and said nobody cared her thought. I take pity on her in this episode.

Rachel missed the plane, so all the six friends celebrated Thanksgiving together because of the sudden situation. They had sandwiches instead of pumpkin cakes, turkey and potatoes. They forgot the unhappiness and enjoyed the festival.
