B.
1. Let me tell you about the skunk. The skunk is a black and white furry animal. The
skunk has an interesting way of protecting itself. Instead of using teeth or claws, the
skunk uses smell. When a skunk thinks it’s in danger, it raises its tail. It sprays a special
liquid from its tail. This liquid is so smelly that other animals run away. Then, the skunk
can escape. What a smelly animal!
2. I want to encourage people to visit my country. Switzerland has many things to see
and do. One of the most famous places to visit is the Jungfraujoch. It’s a very high
mountain covered in snow and glaciers. It can be reached by Europe’s highest railway
line. I think everyone should visit Switzerland. It’s surrounded by France, Germany, and
Italy. The land is mostly lakes and mountains, with lots of farms. Come and visit my
beautiful country!
3. I would like to try skiing. Skiing looks like a fun sport. The best thing about skiing is
the speed. It would be thrilling going down a mountain fast by yourself. In order to ski,
you need special equipment. This includes skis, ski boots, ski goggles, and poles. I don’t
have any of this equipment, so I need to get some. Maybe my dad can buy them for me.
But then I’ll have to find some snow!
4. Every Saturday, I get an allowance from my dad. If I’ve been good, I usually get ten
dollars. Sometimes, I save my money, and sometimes I spend it. For example, last week,
I went to the candy store. I bought some chocolate and some bubble gum. That cost two
dollars and fifty cents. After that, I went to the book store near my house. There, I
bought a comic book and a magazine. By Sunday, I had no money left!
C.
1. I would buy new shoes with an allowance.
2. In order to do ballet, you need special shoes.

E. (Answers will vary.)
I don’t really like my lips or my nose.
I like it when runners get ready to race.
I read a terrible book about witches recently.
I help the environment by reusing scraps of
paper. I would like to try snowboarding in the
winter.

hands
