I Strategy 1: Practice Writing Longer Sentences
A key to fluent writing is using a variety of sentences. A paragraph with short
sentences one after another would soon be boring and sound choppy. lt is
important for students to practice writing sentences of different length and structure
Students should practice adding various adverbial phrases, making compound
sentences with coordinating conjunctions, and making complex sentences using
subordinatin g conjunctions.

Icelandic, the language of old Vikings.

Amazing Winter in lceland


My favorite season is winter. Sometimes it gets terribly windy, but the winter
in Iceland is not as bad as you might expect. In fact, it is quite mild. It snows
ofben, but it doesn't pile up in the city. Sometimes it even rains in the winter.
Winter is such a great season in Iceland. There are so many fun things to do.
We can go skiing, snowmobiling and dog sleddingjust outside the city. We can also
go swimming in an outdoor heated pool even when it snows. What I like best about
the winter is our Christmas tradition. At Christmas time, the whole city turns into
a winter wonderland. There are hundreds of thousands of
twinkling Christmas lights everywhere. I like walking
.

around the neighborhood with my friends as


we sing Christmas carols.
I really like the winter in Iceland. Besides
many exciting winter activities, I love
watching auroras in the sky on
winter nights. Come and visit
me in Iceland in the winter.
You will have a great time. l

Four Legged Friend Sparky


My dog is the best gift I ever got. I won't forget the day he came to me. It
was on my 10th birthday. Mom and Dad brought him home with a bow and a
happy birthday card hanging on his collar. He was 3 months old then, and I
named him Sparky.
Sparky is a wonderful dog. He is a good looking Siberian husky. His
eyes are dark blue, and his fur is black and white. He has a long bushy
tail. I take good care of Sparky. I feed him in the morning
and in the evening. I take him for a walk and play with
him after school. Sparky waits for me at the gate when I
come home from school. He wags his tail, jumps around
me, and licks my hands and face. He follows me
everywhere.

U nforgetta ble Satu rday


After breakfast last Saturday morning, my dad took our family dog sledding.
My sister and I were very excited because it was our first time. I just couldn't
wait to meet the sled dogs. They are amazing animals.
We arrived at the meeting place right before noon. The guide was waiting for
us with his snowcat. We got on the snowcat and drove to the sledding station.
There were twenty five Greenland huskies at the station. The guide let us hug all
the dogs. They were such friendly dogs. At last, we got on the sled, and the dog
sledding began. The sled was pulled by seven huskies with the lead
dog at the front. They ran pretty fast, and I could feel the
sp€ed and air all around me. It was such a great feeling.
I didn't want the dog sledding to be over, but it
was soon time to come home. We took a lot of

play. Also, decide who goes first by rolling the dice. Next, take ' e" €:f
,o

turns rolling the dice and moving the counter clockwise on


the game board. After that, follow the instrrrction on
the square on which you land. You will get to do _
many things like buying a house or a building,
payrng the rent, or even going to jail. Finally,
at the end, add up each player's money and
property to see who wins the game.
Monopoly is a great game to play with my

pairs of shoes, one for indoors and the other for
outdoors. With this rule, we can keep the school
floors clean and dry.
The last special rule is the birthday rule.

Ocean Cousins
Can you tell the difference between an octopus and a squid? Octopuses
and squid have many similarities, but they are very different animals. Both
octopuses and squid have eight long arms, but squid have two more tentacles.
Octopuses have a round head, but squid have a long, slender head with a
triangular fin.
Octopuses and squid share similarities and differences in their lifestyles.
Octopuses usually live on the bottom of the ocean, and they live alone in dens.
Squid live in the open water and usually travel in groups. While squid actively
hunt after fish for their food, octopuses usually sit and wait for food to come
close. Both octopuses and squid have interesting
ways to protect themselves. When they are in

with their surroundings. They also shoot out a

cloud of dark ink to confuse their predators.
