Day 3

- Name one object you own that you couldn’t live without and why.

The one thing I couldn’t live without is my phone. I know it sounds silly, but anytime I don’t have my phone I just

feel super crazy weird! I do not just use it to make calls though, I also use it to play games when I’m bored or check

my friends status on facebook I use it for everything. I do not know what I’d do without my phone!

Suggestions: Remove redundant words, use sets of 3, contractions.

Day 4 -

Mr. Wiskers’ kittens

You’ll never believe what happened to me last night. It all started about a month ago. I noticed my cat, Mr. Wiskers

was getting kinda pudgy. I tried feeding him less but he would just make all kinds of meows! Well last night I noticed

Mr. Wiskers had a couple strange furry things around him. When I picked one up it turn out to be a Kitten! Can you

believe it? It turns out Mr. Wiskers was actually Mrs. Wiskers all along!

Suggestions: Transition times smoother, grammar
