Round two: Deb Smith

 Mussel Man--Rome, Italy:
“Okay, let’s find the subway.” As Deb Smith and her son were walking home in the rain in Italy.  Deb smith was hungry and wanted somewhere to eat. Find lasagna. "Eaten at every meal, in different restaurants where we traveled, my son could write Italy’s Best Lasagna Guide" Lasagna was the main meal in Italy along with cheese pizza. But she did not want any lasagna or pizza. In Italy the owners of the restaurants greet you. "The owner approached from behind, rattling out a welcome in high-volume Italian before he even reached our table." I also learned you need to know the language of the country you are going to because they might not understand what you are saying or what you are saying. That happened with Deb Smiths son when ordering something for dinner. Some people in Italy know English. As the patrons watched, he stood at our table and sang “I Could Have Danced All Night” from My Fair Lady. Conor was dazzled by his performance. I was charmed. Then, ever the gentile uomo, he bowed and walked out into the night.Like the singer at dinner could speak both Italian and English. Its less expensive dinners in other countries."just “€20.” This article not only shares a great experience of the trip Deb Smith and her son went on but it helps you know a little bit more about Italy and its food.
Soccer Addict:
An audio essay helps you  understand more of what the person is talking about better because you can really feel what they are saying and what they want you to imagine in your mind. I can almost hear the "crowd applauding". "a goal" I can picture a goal being scored by two rival teams. I think audio is better because I can picture everything better and hear more things than I would hear from an essay I'm reading.
Two questions:
1: Do you think writing or speaking essays are better to understand?
2: What advice do you give for upcoming writers and how do you make an article more interesting?
