Sample Text: ATIONS
By Shel Silversatein (A Light in the Attic)
If we meet and I say, “Hi,”
That’s a salutation,
If you ask me how I feel,
That’s consideration.
If we understand each other,
That ’s communication.
If we argue, scream and fight,
that’s alternation.

Ronny's New Home
By Pei-hsuan Lin
12 Days before Christmas, Ronny moved to the Red River Valley for
his new job--a repairman on the railroad. His neighbors were very nice
to get along with. Miss Molly, an artist, brought him a lovely Daisy Bell
as a present. She helped him to decorate his new house, painting the
wall with many Pretty Colors. Jack and Jill, the coworkers of the
railroad, lived in a big house next to Ronny's. Knowing that Ronny lived
alone, they sent him a little dog to accompany with. They Climb Every
Mountain on holidays, having Happy Talk with other people. Thanks to
them, Ronny was gradually familiar with this small town and had great
performances on work. With so many nice people, now Ronny think
maybe it's a good place to stay Forever and Ever.
