How to write an anecdote

An anecdote is a short narration, usually in an oral form, where the main focus is the description of a marginal but curious and intriguing aspect of an historical person or particular facts or an unique and original episode that happened in the life of an individual. It usually is used to catch the attention of the listeners, entertain and captivate them.
As a matter of fact, anecdotes are written with a light, rapid and catchy style and the abundance of commas and full stops to link or divide sentences instead of subordinations are connotative traits.
Anecdotes are also full of direct speeches, climax and detailed characterizations of people involved in the story and description of the environment in order to recreate and evoke precisely what happened so that the listeners can really understand the narration, feel involved and cause genuine reactions.

American Cookery – a personal experience

When I was 7 my mum proposed me to go to McDonald’s but I had never heard this name before that. I answered: “I don’t know what it is, but I accept”. After we wore and we went to this place, that was unknown for me.
When we arrived I was surprised. McDonald’s was a very nice and coloured place! It was at two flats: at the first there were the bar, the cash and someone tables; at the second there were someone tables and a lot of games! There were someone mattress, a pool with a lot of coloured balls, a spring mattress and a wall climbing. It was magnificent and I really loved that.
After we went to the cash and took the tray with the food to eat. I ordered an hamburger, crisps, a glass of coca and an ice-cream. The hamburger was very good. In it there were meat, cheese and cucumbers but, to be fair, I removed the cucumbers because I hated it. The hamburger was nice, hot, salty and tender. The crisps were very hot and salty, there were lovely! The ice-cream was fabulous! In it there were a lot of m&m’s. It was very cold, sweet and tender.

My mum took a double hamburger, crisps, a water and a fruits salad. The hamburger was the same as mine but in hers there were 2 patties. The crisps, also, were the same as mine. In the fruits salad there were strawberries, raspberries, kiwis, bananas and pineapples and my mum loved it!
When I had finished to eat, I had gone to play in the game area. I had a really good time, and while I was playing I became friend with a child.
After that day I return many times to McDonald’s and I tasted a lot of typical American foods. My favourite dishes are the hamburger with bacon and crisps. I go often to McDonald’s to eat American cookery, and, specifically, I usually go twice a month.
American cookery is one of my favourite cuisine but the majority recipes are unhealthy because are very fat and salty or sweet so they needs to be eaten in moderation.
