Sample Text: ATIONS By Shel Silversatein (A Light in the Attic)

If we meet and I say, “Hi,”

That’s a salutation,

If you ask me how I feel,

That’s consideration.

If we understand each other,

That ’s communication.

If we argue, scream and fight,

that’s alternation.

Ronny's New Home

By Pei-hsuan Lin

12 Days before Christmas, Ronny moved to the Red River Valley for his new job--a repairman on the railroad. His neighbors were very nice to get along with. Miss Molly, an artist, brought him a lovely Daisy Bell as a present. She helped him to decorate his new house, painting the wall with many Pretty Colors. Jack and Jill, the coworkers of the railroad, lived in a big house next to Ronny's. Knowing that Ronny lived alone, they sent him a little dog to accompany with. They Climb Every Mountain on holidays, having Happy Talk with other people. Thanks to them, Ronny was gradually familiar with this small town and had great performances on work. With so many nice people, now Ronny think maybe it's a good place to stay  Forever and Ever.
