Dear Aunt Anita,
My vacation in Colorado is very enjoyable. We certainly are lucky that
my father invented a new type of snow-making machine! Since I arrived, it
feels like I have skied the mountain aty times. Last night, my mother and I
took an old-fashioned sliegh ride in the snow. I even was allowed to hold the
rains. When I pulled them close to me, the horses would yeild. It was loads
of fun. I think tomorrow we are going to go sledding. I’ll tell you all about it
when I get home. I miss you.
Your neice,
Julie

There was one of Mickey herding a group of bufaloes. There was another
of him standing on the tops of volcanos. Mickey showed me another picture
of him defending himself against a pack of wolfs. The last picture was of
him standing firmly on the ground while winds from gigantic tornadose
destroyed everything around him.
“Why, Mickey!” I exclaimed. “Seems like you had a really amazing

As I sat in the park and siped my lemonade, I marvelled at what a
beautifully clear day it was. The sky was blue and flawless. Then all of a
sudden, out of nowhere, a small glimmerring disc came orbitting out of the
sky and hoverd above my head before plummeting to the ground. I sat there
amazed for a minute, as the disc came to a halt by my feet. Had I just come
into contact with something from another planet? Slightly afraid, I looked
down at my feet, only to discover that what I had seen was just your average
frisbee.

When The Noodal House first opened, I thought it might be a nice place
to work. I applied for a job and they agreed to imploy me. Because I was the
last person they hired, they called me “rooky” and teased me a lot for not
knowing how to do everything. After a week, I began to go to work with a
scowel on my face. This is not the type of work environment that I had sawt.

Last year, I started a small detective business in my town. When a crime
occurs people come to me to try to solve it. I have yet to have a case go
unsolved. Today, around 4:30 p.m., my friend Jahlani Philips came to me. He
said that his mother had been on her way to her friend’s house last night for
dinner when she noticed that the neckless she intended to wear was missing.
I immediately followed him to his house to interview the viktim. Once
there I asked her if she had any pictures of the stolen goods. She handed us
a snapposht of the diamond jewelry. I then asked Jahlani’s mother to recall
her activities from yesterday. She explained that she had been wearing
the jewelry all day, but took it off in the afternoon while she was making
a pumcken pie for the dinner party. When she went to put it back on, she
realized it had been stolen.
“Where did you take off your jewelry?” I asked.
“Why in my bedroom, of course, and I placed it back into my jewelry box
just like I always do. When I returned to get it for the party, it was gone.”
“Do you mind if I have a look around?” I asked, heading for the kitchen.
“Not at all,” she replied.
First, I checked the refrigerator, which did not contain the stolen goods.
But upon opening the door to the pantree, I uncovered the missing property.
Jahlani’s mother was so happy with my discovery, she gave me a hug.

Although Earth is mostly water, it contains little that is useable. The
amount of water used every day places a heavy burdin on Earth’s natural
resources. There are many ways you can reduce the amount of water you
waste each day. For example, showering uses less water than filling up the
entire bassen for bathing. Placing a milk cartin outside to collect rain water
for your indoor plants is another way that you can save water. If we do not
make strides toward saving water, we will hassen the destruction of one of
our greatest natural resources, and the availability of fresh, clean, usable
water may be in perral.

One day during the summer, Maxwell sat in the park with a group of
friends and showed them the new magick tricks he had learned. His friends
were impressed with his new skills, and soon a crowd of people had formed
to watch Maxwell perform. Maxwell decided that this would be a good way
to spend his summer. He decided to dezignate a specific place and time each
day when he would perform his show. To make it oficial , he asked his sister
to help him dezine a poster. The poster said, “Every day at 4:00 on the Great
Lawn in Panorama Park come witness the amazing talents of Maxwell the
Master Magition.”

His father spent most of his time at work and Jimmy wasn’t really sure what
he did there. But following his teacher’s instruction, he began to ask his
father questions about his occupation and other interests. He learned that his
father’s job was very interesting. He used a microscoop to examine bacteria

loved to sing and longed to be on stage with a microfone in his hand. Jimmy
decided he would write a biografee about his dad and include all the new and

Name
Last summer the town pool passed a rule that no child under twelve
could swim without a parent present. They decided to pass this rule
following an insident involving a ten-year-old boy who was a newsance to
the swimmers and sunbathers. He never caused any vilance, but everyone
was annoyed with him. Due to that one boy the pool board decided to close
the pool to everyone under twelve who didn’t have a parent to look after
them. My friends and I decided to stand up for ourselves. We wrote the pool
board a letter explaining how emportant the pool was to us and what a great
expeeriance it was for us to enjoy the pool with the other residents in our
town. I guess our argument was persuasive. Three days after the new rule
went into effect it was overturned.

Salvatore often imagined what it would be like to travel to another
time. His family had moved from Italy to New York when he was ten. He
imagined that living in another century would be similar to how he felt when
his family decided to emmigrate. He supposed the immigrasion process
would be much more difficult if you traveled back in time to the eighteenth
century. Salvatore guessed that if he were to arive back then things would
seem more irreguler and ilogical than when he moved from Italy.

My father is a physitian and my mother is a geolagist. I think they both
assumed I would follow them into the sciences when I grow up, but I think I
would rather be a piannist. I’ve been playing piano since I was four years old.
Being a myusician requires a lot of practice as well as technical and artistic
proficiency. I believe the dedication involved in playing an instrument is very
similar to the focus and intelligence needed to be a specialest in the sciences.
