1. The field next to the factory is on fire. The firefighters are on their way. They don’thave far to come. I can feel the heat of the blaze way back here. I hope the factory issafe and doesn’t catch on fire.

2. The coral reef is beautiful. It is filled with different kinds of tropical fish and otherforms of sea life. My favorite ones are the bright sunfish. They swim so gracefully.I love to watch them.

3. I’m teaching my dog Clifford to fetch a ball. No matter how far I throw it, Cliffordfetches the ball, but he won’t bring it to me. He runs fast, back and forth across theyard. When I finally catch him, I have to fight to get the ball out of his mouth. Eventhough he hasn’t learned to drop the ball, we still have a lot of fun.

4. What do you want for breakfast? I’ll fix it before I go to work. We have a few dough-nuts left and several boxes of cereal. I can make waffles. Or maybe you would justlike coffee and toast or an English muffin. They can be ready in a jiffy.

5. We need to get ready for the press conference. The reporters and photographers willbe here soon. Turn off the microphone or else stand further back. There is too muchfeedback. Remember, we need to finish in a half an hour if we want to be on time.

You can see sofar when you’re on the top. I love the food, especially the taffy apples. I’m good atthe games. Last year I won a big, stuffed animal. I can’t wait to go!

8. My feet hurt! They feel so sore. I think it’s my new loafers’ fault. I wore them toschool yesterday afternoon, to the football game last night, and afterwards to the FallDance. I should have worn more comfortable shoes. Then, I wouldn’t be suffering!

9. California is a beautiful state on the Pacific coast. You’ll find many attractions there,such as the Golden Gate Bridge. Sometimes it is hidden by fog. Another attraction isYosemite Falls, the country’s highest waterfall. If you go to Sutter’s Mill, you’ll seewhere people panned for gold, trying to make a fortune.
