Rewrite the paragraph below making changes as necessary to improve the wording and/or flow.

Day 1

- If you could be any super hero, who would you be?

I would be superman! Superman is able to fly and he has super strength and he has freeze breathe and he has heat

vision! With all of those powers I could do anything I wanted! But I would spend most of my time flying around

stopping criminals and maybe I’d go on a site seeing. Being superman for a day would be amazing!

Suggestions: Avoid redundancy, Reiterate question, spelling, punctuation (proper name)

Day 2 -

Which chore do you dislike doing the most?

I hate mowing the lawn! At my house we have a chore wheel and it seems like every week I get stuck mowing the

lawn, while my brother Sam only has to take out the garbage which wouldn’t be so bad except our yard is super large

so I end up spending over an hour in the hot sun! Still I guess it’s better than cleaning the litter box!

Suggestions: Reiterate, separate sentences
