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

      My family I have four people in my family. There is a 

mother, father, sister and me.  We like to play tennis, ride 

bikes, take walks and do a lot of other things. First I'll tell you 

about my mommy. She doesn't have a job. she's a housewife 

while I am in school my mom goes out. Now my dad drives a 

bread truck for Xxxxxx baking company. We get a lot of 

donuts, pies, cookies and cupcakes. My sister is a pain 

sometimes but we get along pretty good. She thinks she's a big 

girl when she hangs from the bars in our yard. And last it's me. 

Well I like to do gymnastics, play tennis, ride bike and play 

soccer. My house is on 428 Xxx Drive. It is not very big. 

It's a one story five rooms.  Plus a pantrey. I have a bathroom, 

kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. Outside of my house I 

have a carport with shads and a swing. In the yard we have a 

small playground with bars swingset and a plastic horse we can 

ride on. In two of our trees there are squirrel boxes. that's all 

about my house. The worst day I spent was when my momy 

told me my aunt died and had to go to school. I worried and 

worried all day long.  She was on oxgen and she went to 

sleep my other aunt came to check on her and when she came 

down she was laying on the bed.
