Text A is a narrative, the focus of which is the plot. The structure of a narrative essay usually follows the Introduction –Body –Conclusion format.1.3 SummaryMy roommate Rob made a pact with me that he’d give me his girlfriend Polly in exchange for my jacket. And I agreed.Polly had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer like myself. She was pretty, well-off, and radiant. Still, I want to dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her “well-spoken”. So I tried my best to teach her such logical fallacies as Dicto Simpliciter, Hasty Generalization, Ad Misericordiam, and False Analogy.After five nights of diligent work, I actually made a logician out of Polly. She was an analytical thinker at last.When I asked her to develop our relationship into a romantic one, however, she refuted my arguments as those logical fallacies I had taught her! And she refused my proposition by making full proposition: She liked Rob in leather, therefore, she had told him to make the pact with me so that Rob could have my jacket.2. Language Focus:1) in exchange for…作为对……的交换为了给后代换来一个和平的环境，我们的革命先烈们抛头颅、洒热血。
