Friendship

Friendship is a key aspect of life. Friends are your support system, who you go to in time of need, and who you share memories with that can last a lifetime. In today’s society, many friendships are broken up because of trust issues or the lack of positivity that may be spread through the group.

“Ok, let's get you and Karl some food.” Kathrin replied, “I have the same kind of dog at home so we will have a nice place for Karl to sleep and lots of food too.”

Finally, on the syntactic level advertising texts are usually simple in structure. Everyday sentences/phrases, imperative sentences, questions, tense, idioms or proverbs, ellipsis, parallelism, repetition (anaphora, epiphora) are used at the syntactic level.(

The types of sentences this chapter talks about includes, simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, periodic sentences, and cumulative sentences. Cumulative sentences are sentences where the main point comes first and more details get added on after the main point. Cumulative sentences can go to hundreds of words (Finn and Weinstein 70). Complex sentences is when a main action gets a dependent clause added on to it (Finn and Weinstein 69). A periodic sentence is a complex sentence that saves the main point for the end of the sentence (Finn and Weinstein 70). Simple sentences are when a writer only writes about a main action. A compound sentence is when a sentence has two or more main actions (Finn and Weinstein 69).

Sometimes we end up going out on the lake if the ice is thick enough. If we end up going out on the lake, we will play hockey or ice skate. (complex sentence)The only problem is, that when you try to get off the ice you have to climb up the rocky lake wall and it can be hard, speaking from experience. (compound sentence) After a while we go inside and get warm. My mom puts blankets in the dryer, so when we take our snow stuff off we then wrap up in the warm blankets. (Compound sentence). We usually end up watching a movie or end up making a blanket fort down

“I guess I’m working overtime” I sigh to myself. I hail a cab to my home, I get out to a landlord that looks like someone just shot his dog.

“I will” I said normally. I walked to the woods that he told me not to go to. Pete, my dog followed. I told him to go back but he stayed with me. I let him go with me this time. He was my dad’s best guard dog, a Pitbull dog. He was also a fun dog to play with. When I was deep into the woods, I heard a scary animal noise. After, Pete disappeared.

Mr. Barkley the dog had a very important decision to make. Today was the day, the day that he had to hire someone new to the office. The role of the job was extremely important, and required a lot of skill. That’s when the door to the meeting room opened.

“She is YOUR dog and YOUR responsibility and you promised that if we got you a dog, you would walk her every single day!”

I was shocked to hear our plans for the day. Looking at more dogs? It had been less than a week since the last one and the newspaper ads hadn’t given us any options. I ran to my room, took my New York Yankees Baseball Cap off the hook and ran to tell my siblings. They were equally as shocked as I was. The three of us couldn't tell why my Dad, who never wanted a dog in the first place, wanted to go searching for one now. But I had an idea about why.

“Today, your mom and I went to look at dogs, and we looked up a breeder, and we found out he lives about an hour away, so the day we are going to go to his house on wednesday, when you guys don't have school. I know you guys have been begging for a dog forever and we thought about it and we think you guys are ready for the responsibility.”

When I go walk outside, it gets cold and darkish, and if I stay out too long my legs go numb.

I have a positive attitude toward writing in English. When I first came to the United States, I was very confused about using English, a new and strange language. But as time has gone by, my feeling toward the language has begun to change. I have forced OR force myself to write even though it was hard at first. I have written (OR write) a lot, and I have become (OR become OR am becoming) more confident each time I write. (The rest of the paragraph remains the same as Option A.)

“Fortunato, I will be leaving for this day to venture to my Fathers. Shall you so kindly, perhaps be able to take care of my dog for the day, I will owe you one as the kids say!” Said, Fortunato, as I walked closer to him.

Let’s look at some other ways to rearrange simple sentence beginnings (e.g. common noun-verb constructions) and add some variety to our work. Remember, our goal here is not only to minimize the use of simple sentence openings - it’s to become better writers!
