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

Eddie Clark

      There's this boy name Eddie. I like, and he is very cute 

and nice, in my opinion. He is tall with dark brown hair and a 

mustache. Me and Eddie are suppose to go to the movies, 

Friday.  It will be lots of fun. Eddie also goes to my church, 

First Assembly of God. He is suppose to ask me to go with him 

this Friday, at the movies.  Eddie is 12 years old in the 6th 

grade.  Even though I'm in the 7th grade and am 13, I still like 

him.  Like my grandmother told "Age doesn't matter"! Eddie 

has a sister Sandi, and a brother, Bob. Eddie's favorite color

is blue. Eddie and I are supposed to go to Avis with his 

mother to a dance.  I hope we have fun at the movies and the 

dance.  The first time I ever met Eddie, was at West Darby 

Stadium.  And I am so happy that I met him because I like him 

a lot.  He looks cute when he smiles, because he had dimples in 

his cheeks.  He is not fat, he is real slim.  Usually, we talk on 

the phone about two or three times a day. I enjoy talking to him 

on the phone. He also plays baseball for, Super Value, he 

is very good.  Even though there team is not the best, to me any 

team that he is on is the best.  He is a very active person.  He is 

not only a active person, but gets good grades in school.  I like 

him a lot, because that's why I wrote about him.
