I sat with my toes in the hot sand, digging a hole with my new shovel. I squinted in the bright sun at my sister who was squatting at the edge of the water, filling a pail with wet sand. "Time for a bite to eat!" my mother called to me and my sister from under the shade of the umbrella. Our sandcastle would have to wait until after lunch.

Of all of the chores Katie had around the house, this was her least favorite. Folding the laundry was fine, cleaning her room wasn't so bad, and even doing the dishes was better than this. But she couldn't stand hauling the heavy bag out to the silver canister. All she could think about was the smell and the possibility of bugs. It was disgusting!
What chore does Katie hate?
Taking out the trash

The food was delicious, so my Dad left a big tip!

The campers sat around the campfire, laughing and having a good time when a strange noise came from the woods. The campers suddenly became silent and very still, listening to the rustling in the bushes. They had heard that bears were known to live in this area, and they started to panic.

I’m sorry, Riley, but you are punished from TV and video games. Why? You know why- you know your teacher expects you to do it every night but you didn’t so now there are consequences. Yes, I know you had to miss recess, but you are still punished at home, too.

Hannah stared out the window, knowing the steps that she was about to take would change her life. Carefully locking her helmet in place, she hit the button that opened the door. Stepping out of the ship, she felt as though she were flying. She navigated the rocky surface of this new place, bouncing around craters and appreciating the beauty of the bright stars surrounding her. She spent the afternoon collecting samples before returning to the ship.

I just can't figure them out, and sometimes I get so frustrated. For example, the other day I tried to save a paper, but when I came back an hour later, the paper was erased!

Hard drives and web surfing and browser settings, it's all just too confusing!
