     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.)

My Brother

     My brother's name is Tom  he is almost tewenty-one. He 

had a brown car with a bumbing stearo. He had three cars 

before this one. He had a ford and two chevey.  And now he 

has a another chevey but this one is bad it has park and all that 

stuff in the floor. My brother is nice to me he takes me to 

dances when he goes. And then when he go riding he let's me 

go sometime. But when he get's with his friends then he won't 

let me go with him. But he can be nice sometime like when he 

took me to see Chuck Brown over at the dominion it was fun 

to. And when he took me over to Woodstock. I had some fun 

then because they had a party over there. And because I got to 

play basketball with the big boys and win. Then when it gets 

dark we all go over to McDonald and eat.  And then we go to 

a friends house and go stay for a while. Then would come back 

in town and go on the lot where my friends are. And stay there 

for about and hour. Then we would come home and and 

which some basketball on TV.  And then when basketball goes
