A.
Peanut Butter and Jelly
After a long day at school, I came home and watched “cops,” my favorite
show. During the commercial breaks, I got up and made a peanut butter and
jelly and jelly sandwich. I took the bread out of the cabinet, spread the jelly and
peanut butter on the bread, and stuck the two pieces together. I enjoyed that
sandwich as I watched the rest of “cops”.

B. The Mayans and Aztecs had a lot of common, although the mayans
civilization died out of the Aztecs empire came into power both tribe still have
full blooded members living today. At their peaks, both skilled in warfare. In
religion, they both believed in the same gods, and build temples pyramids for
their gods. Both the mayans and the Aztecs were fond of trading with other
tribes or nations. Both tribes also kept slaves. As you can see, these tribes had a
lot in common.

C. A tiny hiding place was nestled under the green vines. Inside the nook sat
two benches and a small table. The table was set up to play checkers with
butterflies and ladybugs. It looked like the perfect place to relax on hot summer
day.

D. The night’s snowstorms had many effects. People were out of shoveling
snow from their sidewalks. The power lines were draped with ice. Snow plows
drove down every street. Children were the happiest of all. The unexpected
snow caused school to be cancelled.

E. In most parts of the world, there are not as many crocodiles as there used to
be. This is a problem because crocodiles are becoming endangered and also
crocodiles are necessary to the balance of nature. Many crocodiles have died
because people dried up the swamps and marshes where the crocodiles have
been desired for their strong, smooth, leathery skins. In order to preserve these
mighty creatures, people must take care of the crocodiles’ environment and help
put a stop to the needless shooting of these animals.
