2. What difficulties did the author have during the meal
The author knocked over glasses and dropped food.
The author ate much more slowly, trying to guess what was being eaten.
Pouring water was very difficult.
After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes, the author decided to use hands, but stuck one hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup.
Even using a spoon, I spilled most of the soup on my shirt.
The author left the restaurant feeling hungry, though much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.
3. How did the author feel after finishing the meal
Try to experience what it is like to have a disability and make notes.

描写一次经历属于记叙文的范畴，应当按照记叙文的写作方法进行写作。
写作时应注意以下几点：
1. 把握记叙文的六要素时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件(what)、原因(why)、结果(how) ；
2. 人称以第一人称为主，时态以过去时态为主，但要注意不论是人称还是时态，都要从实际出发，灵活选用；
3. 内容需详略得当，语言要具体生动。
此外，叙述事件时还应注意以下几点：
1. 描写角度：在记叙文中用第一人称可增加文章的真实感；用第三人称讲述，灵活多变，客观全面，可穿插个人的感受。
2. 时态：在描写经历时一定要保持时态的一致性。叙述事件的发展过程及当时的感受往往用过去时；强调对现在或以后的影响可以用现在时或将来时。
3. 写作顺序：常按照时间顺序进行描述，也可采用倒叙方式。
4. 篇章结构：
第一部分：引入话题（写作的目的）；
介绍一次经历，并引出事情的内容概要，作为全文的主题句或主题段
第二部分：具体描述活动的过程；
第三部分：表达感悟。

Now write a short passage to describe your experience.
Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveller”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person.
Not being able to see where I was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What’s more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, I often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed.
And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees.
Without sight, I couldn't even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people.
Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class.

One possible version:
To better know about the life of the disabled, our school offered us an opportunity to get a taste of what it might be like to be blind.
Accompanied by my classmates, I took part in an after-school activity, during which I was required to walk to a certain position, with my eyes covered with a cloth. With several barriers on the way, not being able to see made me fall over many times before reaching the destination. I felt so depressed after the ten-minute journey that I couldn't begin to imagine how those living with a visual impairment throughout their entire life might feel.
What I have learned from the activity is that it's high time we treated the disabled kindly.
