PRACTICE TASK 5: We could never have thought that this is a supernatural fact because every day we find unidentified people, but we could have thought that this person could be a time traveler because generally people who are in these conditions are sick or injured, but he is healthy. On the other hand, we could have thought that he was a castaway, but this hypothesis vanished because he was a calm and educated person and did not speak a known language. After days we found something that could have identified the "man without a name", something that made us think, because in one of his arms a tattoo was found with the date of his birth that would have been September 29, 2 BC which would not be strange because it is the date of the birth of a person called Iesoús also known as Yeshua or as everyone knows Jesus Christ. Nice work Marco, This is an original and accurate text, with an appropriate vocabulary range and correct use of deduction in the past. Very well done! It would be more fluent and easier to read, though, if you had structured it according to different paragraphs.
