Creative Paragraph

The Coffee Shop
If someone is away from their hometown, they must miss their family a lot. Now I seem to be missing my family alongside my friends a lot. When I was in my country, I used to hang out with my friends to a coffee shop on the weekends. The image of the coffee shop seems to be still on my mind. From the doorway, you can see many people sitting throughout the shop on such the ancient tables to chat to each other and enjoy their favorite coffee. You can sniff the smell of the coffee and ice cream mixed up which is good and natural. In addition, the atmosphere of the coffee shop was so exciting and warm. When we got there to enjoy coffee or ice cream, there were many different kinds of newspapers and comics to read on the two side of the shop. Therefore, people hardly felt awkward to wait for their beverage. I have to say that the way staffs serve everyone was friendly, and they always talked to us in a polite way. Besides, you can see the decor of the shop was decorated classically. At the four angles of the floor, you can see there was full of colorful flowers. I was first under the impression that those flowers were real and natural, but they were just fake flowers. It was so funny! In the center of the ceiling, you can see two air conditioners, and it spreads fresh air throughout the shop, so people always feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. As you can see, the coffee shop is one of the best places for those who want to relax on the weekends, and I have been impressed by its decoration so far.

I hope you can find coffee shops in Seattle that you can enjoy. As you know, coffee and coffee shops is everywhere in Seattle! One idea might be to start a 'language exchange' group -- perhaps you can get together and learn and teach little bits of each other's languages just for fun...or you could start a book club ~~ the possibilities are endless.
