     I have double-spaced the text so that teachers can simply print it out and use it for exercises or for their own analysis. (Name was changed.)

Betty Evans My Mom

     My mom is a very nice women when she wants to be. I 

love my mom a lot because she usually gets me what I want. 

My mom is always easily to get along with but don't never 

dought her down because she'll fuse forever.  My mom and 

dad are always disagreeing with one another if you know 

what I mean. Then when I want something it takes them 

forever to decide whether they should get it for me or not. 

But you know how parents are they always will have their 

ways to a certain point. I'll be glad when I get about 16 years 

old because me and my moom are going to be riding all over 

the place. Me and dad always talk about a lot of stuff about 

life. He always talks about growing up and the things to look 

out for in life.  My mom doesn't like my dad to tell me about 

life because she's afraid he might tell me something I shouldn't 

know. Me and my parents have lived in all sort of places in the 

world. My parents always like to go on trips because they 

say one day they're going to see the whole world hopefully. 

I myself like to fantasize about being a movie star or becoming 

very rich and buying a huge house and living in style. But 

that's the way I live my life so I'm going to end this story with 

a good-bye.
