Example: Ann carefully thought about buying her best friend a birthday present at the local mall yesterday. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. The sloth slowly walked along the branch. The watermelon is ripe. The lion ate a huge steak. President Bush gave his budget proposal to Congress. My cookies were made with chocolate chips. The children were very hungry and quickly ate the delicious cookies. Their house now has three bathrooms. Jean has already left for the Appleton airport. Isas telephone never stopped its annoying ringing. I could not wait to call Yee, my best friend, and tell him my good news.

Stop here and check your work. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Later we will meet at the outdoor movie theater. The hinges were very rusty and squeaked loudly as we opened the barn door. That gray squirrel is awfully persistent about getting to my favorite bird feeder. A friendly stranger talked excitedly with me at a downtown Italian restaurant. A striped green snake slithered swiftly through the tall grass. A very clever dog buried a steak bone in my front yard yesterday. A giant tortoise walked rather slowly across the green, grassy path. This Grecian vase is lovely; the shop owners imported it directly from Eastern Europe. Fox Valley Technical College graduates can easily apply for many jobs in their chosen fields. My two closest relatives, Aunt Susie and Uncle Ross, will soon arrive from Michigan.

Check your work.
