The rain __beat on steadily__. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, __cut ou__t the roots of cotton-woods and __brought down__ the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and __crept up__ the banks __until at__ last it spilled over, into the fields, __into the orchards__, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped __up the__ surfaces. Then the water __poured over__ the highways, and cars __moved slowly__, cutting the water ahead, and __leaving a boiling muddy__ wake behind.

I think sports are fun to play. There is many types of sports that is fun. Alot of kids likes sports because it makes them active and challenging.

Alot of people exercise every day, the most popular of exercising is walking, running and jogging. Kids always plays sports during the recess.** 1.

Sometimes it's because the game is fun. There are several reasons why playing a sport is fun. The first thing I think about in my head is which team am I in, then choosing a goal. Usually my goal is to win every game and be the 1st. It is really fun and I feel proud when I win the 1st place in a game, especially tournament. But the main thing that is important in a game is sportsman ship and how hard you try. If you are good at playing soccer games, but never pass and be always rube and mean then, no one will like to play a game with you. When a teacher is gone and your playing soccer, I think it is better having a teacher telling you the rules and making you not argue and waste all of your time. In a tip of winning a game easily, you have to be clever. How you can be clever is when you know the rules of the game perfectly and when no one knows. When every one knows the rule like how you know, and if you fallow those rules, then you might not fight easily and have always the same thought and will be more challenging.

//I have my own job and is to clean my room. My mom said to do it then, she sill give some money. Or I have to do all of my homework like when it is hard, she would sometimes give me some money. Everyday I always do homework but I can't clean my desk so it is bad. Sometimes if I also don't listen to her and also don't to my jobs then she get really angry and hit me. If I sometimes do what she says like go to the supermarket, then I would have to do it but when she is not mad at me and if I do it then she sometimes gives me the money. If you clean your rooms then you have less work to do at last so it's much better. In my opinion it's much better to do chore or your job. It also teaches you responsibilities if you don't have any responsibilities then you get fired in business so you have to practice to have more responsibilities. You earn a job when you can do a job well like concentrate on your work.

If you also do chores or your jobs then you mother wont scold at you and stuff. You would make a better family and a happy family. If you do your chores then Your mother might help you. because you helped her, then she has to help you. You have to help you mother by chores that the only thing you can help your mother or anyone. Also chores sometimes takes you only a hour so it is much better to do chores.//**

//**Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

__Over the high coast__ mountains and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched __in from__ the ocean. The wind __blew fiercely__ and silently, high __in the__ air, and __it swished__ in the brush, and __it roared__ in the forests. The clouds came __in__ brokenly, __in puffs__, __in folds__, __in gray crags__; and they piled __in together__ and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain __began__ with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually __it settled__ to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening. And at first the dry earth __sucked the moisture down__ and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, __until the earth was full__. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed __in the fields__. The muddy lakes __rose higher__, and the steady __rain whipped__ the shining water. At last the mountains __were full__, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, __built them__ to freshets, and __sent them__ roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain __beat on steadily__. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, __cut ou__t the roots of cotton-woods and __brought down__ the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and __crept up__ the banks __until at__ last it spilled over, into the fields, __into the orchards__, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped __up the__ surfaces. Then the water __poured over__ the highways, and cars __moved slowly__, cutting the water ahead, and __leaving a boiling muddy__ wake behind. The earth __whispered under__ the beat of the rain, and the streams __thundered under__ the __churning freshets__.//

//Common Prepositions//
//__**Poem**__ I love to eat pretzels when the weather is hot in my home. When I was walking on a street eating a pretzels, the dog stole my pretzels The dog ran until South Pole when I chased him until there I saw a lot of penguins that was shaped as pretzels.

__Over the high coast__ mountains and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched __in from__ the ocean. The wind __blew fiercely__ and silently, high __in the__ air, and __it swished__ in the brush, and __it roared__ in the forests. The clouds came __in__ brokenly, __in puffs__, __in folds__, __in gray crags__; and they piled __in together__ and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain __began__ with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually __it settled__ to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening. And at first the dry earth __sucked the moisture down__ and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, __until the earth was full__. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed __in the fields__. The muddy lakes __rose higher__, and the steady __rain whipped__ the shining water. At last the mountains __were full__, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, __built them__ to freshets, and __sent them__ roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain __beat on steadily__. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, __cut ou__t the roots of cotton-woods and __brought down__ the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and __crept up__ the banks __until at__ last it spilled over, into the fields, __into the orchards__, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped __up the__ surfaces. Then the water __poured over__ the highways, and cars __moved slowly__, cutting the water ahead, and __leaving a boiling muddy__ wake behind. The earth __whispered under__ the beat of the rain, and the streams __thundered under__ the __churning freshets__.

I think sports are fun to play. There is many types of sports that is fun. Alot of kids likes sports because it makes them active and challenging.

Alot of people exercise every day, the most popular of exercising is walking, running and jogging. Kids always plays sports during the recess.** 1. Write your first paragraph (post) and then rate yourself (1-5 for each skill) using the voice checklist. Post. I like to play sports, some times it's because I always win. Sometimes it's because the game is fun. There are several reasons why playing a sport is fun. The first thing I think about in my head is which team am I in, then choosing a goal. Usually my goal is to win every game and be the 1st. It is really fun and I feel proud when I win the 1st place in a game, especially tournament. But the main thing that is important in a game is sportsman ship and how hard you try. If you are good at playing soccer games, but never pass and be always rube and mean then, no one will like to play a game with you. When a teacher is gone and your playing soccer, I think it is better having a teacher telling you the rules and making you not argue and waste all of your time. In a tip of winning a game easily, you have to be clever. How you can be clever is when you know the rules of the game perfectly and when no one knows. When every one knows the rule like how you know, and if you fallow those rules, then you might not fight easily and have always the same thought and will be more challenging.

If I sometimes do what she says like go to the supermarket, then I would have to do it but when she is not mad at me and if I do it then she sometimes gives me the money. If you clean your rooms then you have less work to do at last so it's much better. In my opinion it's much better to do chore or your job. It also teaches you responsibilities if you don't have any responsibilities then you get fired in business so you have to practice to have more responsibilities. You earn a job when you can do a job well like concentrate on your work.

If you also do chores or your jobs then you mother wont scold at you and stuff. You would make a better family and a happy family. If you do your chores then Your mother might help you. because you helped her, then she has to help you. You have to help you mother by chores that the only thing you can help your mother or anyone.

//**Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

__Over the high coast__ mountains and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched __in from__ the ocean. The wind __blew fiercely__ and silently, high __in the__ air, and __it swished__ in the brush, and __it roared__ in the forests. The clouds came __in__ brokenly, __in puffs__, __in folds__, __in gray crags__; and they piled __in together__ and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain __began__ with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually __it settled__ to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening. And at first the dry earth __sucked the moisture down__ and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, __until the earth was full__. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed __in the fields__. The muddy lakes __rose higher__, and the steady __rain whipped__ the shining water. At last the mountains __were full__, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, __built them__ to freshets, and __sent them__ roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain __beat on steadily__.

I think sports are fun to play. There is many types of sports that is fun. Alot of kids likes sports because it makes them active and challenging.

Alot of people exercise every day, the most popular of exercising is walking, running and jogging. Kids always plays sports during the recess.** 1. Write your first paragraph (post) and then rate yourself (1-5 for each skill) using the voice checklist. Post. I like to play sports, some times it's because I always win. Sometimes it's because the game is fun. There are several reasons why playing a sport is fun. The first thing I think about in my head is which team am I in, then choosing a goal. Usually my goal is to win every game and be the 1st. It is really fun and I feel proud when I win the 1st place in a game, especially tournament. But the main thing that is important in a game is sportsman ship and how hard you try. If you are good at playing soccer games, but never pass and be always rube and mean then, no one will like to play a game with you. When a teacher is gone and your playing soccer, I think it is better having a teacher telling you the rules and making you not argue and waste all of your time. In a tip of winning a game easily, you have to be clever. How you can be clever is when you know the rules of the game perfectly and when no one knows. When every one knows the rule like how you know, and if you fallow those rules, then you might not fight easily and have always the same thought and will be more challenging.

//**__27. Everyone has chores to do. Explain why you do the job or chore you have.__**//


 * I have my own job and is to clean my room. My mom said to do it then, she sill give some money. Or I have to do all of my homework like when it is hard, she would sometimes give me some money. Everyday I always do homework but I can't clean my desk so it is bad. Sometimes if I also don't listen to her and also don't to my jobs then she get really angry and hit me. If I sometimes do what she says like go to the supermarket, then I would have to do it but when she is not mad at me and if I do it then she sometimes gives me the money. If you clean your rooms then you have less work to do at last so it's much better. In my opinion it's much better to do chore or your job. It also teaches you responsibilities if you don't have any responsibilities then you get fired in business so you have to practice to have more responsibilities. You earn a job when you can do a job well like concentrate on your work.

If you also do chores or your jobs then you mother wont scold at you and stuff. You would make a better family and a happy family. If you do your chores then Your mother might help you. because you helped her, then she has to help you. You have to help you mother by chores that the only thing you can help your mother or anyone. Also chores sometimes takes you only a hour so it is much better to do chores.**

I think sports are fun to play. There is many types of sports that is fun. Alot of kids likes sports because it makes them active and challenging.

Alot of people exercise every day, the most popular of exercising is walking, running and jogging. Kids always plays sports during the recess.** 1. Write your first paragraph (post) and then rate yourself (1-5 for each skill) using the voice checklist. Post. I like to play sports, some times it's because I always win. Sometimes it's because the game is fun. There are several reasons why playing a sport is fun. The first thing I think about in my head is which team am I in, then choosing a goal. Usually my goal is to win every game and be the 1st. It is really fun and I feel proud when I win the 1st place in a game, especially tournament. But the main thing that is important in a game is sportsman ship and how hard you try. If you are good at playing soccer games, but never pass and be always rube and mean then, no one will like to play a game with you. When a teacher is gone and your playing soccer, I think it is better having a teacher telling you the rules and making you not argue and waste all of your time. In a tip of winning a game easily, you have to be clever. How you can be clever is when you know the rules of the game perfectly and when no one knows. When every one knows the rule like how you know, and if you fallow those rules, then you might not fight easily and have always the same thought and will be more challenging.
