4. Example:
The birthday party was crazy! As soon as you stepped into the room, you could tell it was someone’s birthday. Vibrant balloons hung from the ceiling, streamers dangling from the chandelier in the center of the room. Music blared in the background, but not as loudly as the chatter and laughter of the children. Voices crowded the air like buzzing bees. A stack of presents stood in the corner, perfectly wrapped in pink and purple and blue paper, sitting next to the most perfect vanilla cake with the “11” candle sitting at the top. The air vibrated with excitement, and I could feel the positive energy as I glanced around for the birthday boy.

5. You try it… Recess was busy today.
I was so upset at my poor test score.
I watched as the stranger took the candy from the shelf and snuck it into her pocket.
