Drawn back to X - Skillful Reading & Writing 3, p52

What I read 
To practice the language of verb + preposition collocations in unit 5 of Skillful, Bixby and Scanlon have a question to respond to in exercise 3 on page 52.
_______________________________________ 

Discuss this question in a comment below.
  • Discuss a time you were drawn back to a place you had known in childhood. Describe how you found it again? 
    • My first response was to misunderstand the question because I misunderstood the verb find, which has two very different meanings, both of which make sense in the question. See definitions 1.1 and 2.1 at the Oxford Dictionaries entry for find. In fact, the the example paragraph that is exercise 2 on page 52 uses both definitions of find
You have ten minutes to respond to this prompt. I would spend a minute or two thinking for this response writing - first choose your topic; then respond.
