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 lwan in ectasy.Also,her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cat,rabbit smells ,and other presences too subtle for human detection.Then,she sniffs.She spins her tail in quick circles.It spins clockwise first,right after it spins counterclockwise. She is sniffing and spinning. We seem to propel her along.
EXERCISE 2:The Government Printing Office in Washington D.C. is a source of much useful information as few people know.It is the official publishing house of the federal government.The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms.About 27.000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents many of which are expensive.There is no charge at all for some of them.
EXERCISE 3:John Jacob Astor who was a German immigrant reaped America's first fortune.He made his initial money by trading Indian furs.He was lowborn and uneducated.He never learned to speak English properly.He carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
