Exercise 2 Rewrite the paragraph, changing some of the sentence patterns.
Lek and I had nothing to do. We rode our bikes down the street. We came to the old
park. We used to play baseball in the old park. We saw a shed in the old park. The shed
looked empty. We looked into a window of the shed. We saw a mother dog and her
puppies on the floor. We opened the door to the shed. We went in. We played with the
dogs. Finally, we went home.
Possible answer: One afternoon my friend Lek and I could think of nothing to do. After riding our
bikes around town for a while, we came to the old park where we used to play baseball. We saw an
empty-looking shed and peeked into a window. Imagine our surprise when we saw a mother
dog and her pups! We spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the dogs.
