EXERCISE 1
Our beagle loves hunting. When someone opens the back door for her, she barrels down porch steps into the yard. She runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose scans the wet grass for scents. Those are scents of cats, rabbits and other living creatures which are too subtle to detect. She sniffs and spins her tail in quick circles. It spins clockwise at first. Then, it spins counterclockwise. Those two activities always occur together. They are sniffing and spinning. They seem to propel her along.
EXERCISE 2

Many of them are cheap. There is no charge at all for some of them.
EXERCISE 3
A man who was a German immigrant reaped America’s first fortune. His name was John Astor. He made his first money by trading Indian furs. He was lowborn and uneducated, that’s why he never learned to speak English properly. He carried on his business to the end in an accent. The accent was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
