Some people say that dancing isn’t a sport. I strongly disagree. You have to be in good shape to be a dancer. Dances can last three or four minutes. If you are not in good shape, you’ll never make it to the end of the song. Also, dancers have to learn how to do difficult moves, like leaps and turns. Clearly, dancing is a sport.

No one knows for sure when skate- boarding started, but people think it began around 1950. At this time, surfing was
becoming very popular in California. The surfers decided that they wanted something to do when the waves were flat. They began to “surf” on the sidewalk with boards that had roller skate wheels attached to the bottom. After that, it didn’t take long for skateboarding to become popular.

Bella felt herself falling. She looked over her shoulder and saw that her wing was ripped. My wing must have been torn by a sharp tree branch, she thought to herself. She fell to the ground with a thud. She stood up and dusted herself off. “It is going to be a long walk to Doctor Sarah’s office”, she grumbled.

I wish I could turn back the clock to yesterday at 1:00. That was when I was standing with my bike at the top of the steep hill. Jaxson dared me to coast to the bottom of the hill ithout using my brakes. I knew it was a bad idea, but I did it anyway. Needless to say, I ended up at the hospital, and now I have a cast for my broken elbow. What was the author’s purpose for writing this letter?

The ocean has five layers. The layer closest to the top is called the Sunlight Zone. There is plenty of light and heat in the Sunlight Zone. The Twilight Zone is the second layer. Faint sun rays reach this layer. The Midnight Zone is the third layer. No sunlight reaches this zone. The fourth layer is called the Abyss. Most of the ocean floor is in the Abyss, and the water is close to freezing. The Trenches is the deepest layer of the ocean. This zone hasn’t been explored much because of its depth.

I don’t remember much from when I was three years old, but I do remember the balloon animal dog that the clown made for me on my birthday. It was red, and I loved it. When I went to bed that night, it was sitting on my dresser. I got out of bed, grabbed it, and climbed back into bed so I could sleep with it. As I was lying in bed, I gave it a big hug... and it popped! I cried and cried because I had killed my pet puppy.
