     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.)

My Aunt Mary

      My Aunt is very nice she is tall and she has brases and she 

has black hair blue eyes and she really likes me she takes me 

everywhere last summer we went to the carnival and we saw all 

the animals and they we went to the zoo and so she let me pet 

allmost all of the animals and they were very nice the we went 

home and my Uncle John was building the upstairs addition for

the baby Joan. She is only 11/2 years old she was playing in

the cribe the we had lunch and after lunch I played with the baby

while My Aunt is making dinner and Uncle John is having a 

late lunch and now all I am is doing is feeding the baby and 

after I fed the baby I had to burp her. and so she did not burp 

so I let her go and so she burped on her own and I was very 

happy and so Uncle John is allmost done his lunch and Aunt 

Mary is taking a knap and all of a sudden Uncle John fell 

through the celling and he was all white and there was dust all 

over the place and Aunt Mary woke up and she was mad and 

so was Uncle John and I was laughing and then he had to go 

out side and dust off he then had to take out the sweeper and 

sweep up all the dust
