1. If you are confused about something in class, don't wait. Raise your hand and ask for
help immediately. Do it while your teacher is still explaining the material. Your teacher
will probably be happy that you are taking an active part in your education and should
attempt to explain the material in a different way. If you are still confused, ask your
teacher if he or she is available after class to give you additional instruction. You are
worth it. Don't give up on yourself.

2. Suzie applied the lipstick to her lips. She had never done this before. She smacked her
lips like she had seen other women do in the movies and looked in the mirror. She felt
unsure about what she saw. She turned to her friend Donna and asked, "How do I look?"
Donna gasped and said, "You look breathtaking, Suzie." Suzie smiled. She was grateful
for these words, even though she didn't believe them.

3. Pete didn't feel like doing homework. He felt like playing baseball. He grabbed his mitt
off the shelf and began to fantasize about being out in the field. His fantasy was
interrupted shortly by the opening of his bedroom door. It was his mom. She started to
yell, "Pete, you're not failing baseball class! You're failing math class! You need to study.
Put the mitt away!" Pete put the mitt away, but he didn't know the first thing about
studying math.

4. As you buckle your seatbelt, safety instructions are broadcast over the inflight system. A
stewardess models the actions in sync with the broadcast. You turn to your right. An
extremely rotund man is snoring. He looks like he is about to fall onto your shoulder. You
 look to your left. You see a man with a Mohawk is listening to loud punk music. You can
hear it as though your were the one wearing headphones. You sigh and pull up your
tray table as instructed.

5. Carrie and Kylie giggled. Neither of them knew what they had just found. They thought
that they had discovered a cool looking rock. They had no idea that they were holding
a real life dinosaur egg. This surprise would dawn on them later, when they brought the
egg home. Carrie was using the egg as a paperweight, so she kept the egg under her
desk lamp. But this egg would soon hatch, and Carrie and Kylie were about to have the
adventure of a lifetime.

6. A bus drove by Kiko as she sat on the park bench. A woman pushed a double stroller
with a set of twins down the sidewalk. Several pigeons approached Kiko. "Go away,
flying rats. I do not have any food for you," Kiko shouted at the birds. They squawked
and flew off. Kiko crossed her legs and took a deep breath. She picked up the
newspaper, flipped through a few pages, and put it back down. Then her phone rang.

7. Red looked across the prairie. He didn't see anything concerning. He wondered why
Texas Joe had hollered like that. Texas Joe turned to him. The ghost that Texas Joe had
just seen was gone. Texas Joe swatted at the air. Now he felt crazy. "You have to
believe me, Red. It was just here," said Texas Joe. Red scowled at him in disbelief. "What
was just here, Joe?" he asked. Red was angry with Texas Joe for disturbing his sleep for
no apparent reason.
