  1. over Break i did several things. but one thing that stood out was the trip to the Zoo lights with my family. The Zoo atomosphere was estatic. I was astonished by the lights and the people. It also happened to take place on new years eve. Making the night even more exciting. The group consisted of me,my sisters,my mom,my aunt, my sisters boyfriend, and my cousin.

    We started off zooming past the main entrance because theyre wasnt much to see in the opening. We saw the wolves howling and that was exciting beyond belief. When we were leaving we stopped in our final stop, the Ice sculptres those were awseome! The Glistening light shined against these animal reflections. It certainly was a sight to a behold.

    I used the sentence transformers to capture the lights and sounds. also at what happened in the zoo and the certain effects of what happened.

  2. One special event I did in vacation was I went to downtown by myself. I almost got lost in the enormous city.Time flew by and then it was time to go back home.I was exhausted of walking. When I came home i stress all my tiredness then i slept.

    The transformers i used was enormous instead of big.I used flew instead of passed.I used exhausted instead of tired and i use stress instead of stretch.

    Well what i did during the cold harsh Christmas vacation. We had an amazing party on Christmas day. My creative mom invited over all of our family. In the mid-snowny day the house was surrounded with laughter. The cold winter turned into summer inside the house.

    As soon as it turned into a freezing night someone turned off the lights from the living room. In surprisement a light appeared in the pitch dark room. There was a delicious frosted cake sitting in the table. My cold body became harm with love. I used the sentence transformers to make my writing better. And they actully sounded better then a simple sentence.

  4. over christmas vacation one special event was the christmas party. i invited my friend with the family and some other people but she couldnt come but i had fun because before the party i got really sick. i thought i wasn't going to enjoy the party but at the end i enjoyed it a lot until 12:30 that some people where leaving. so i kind of fell asleep like at 3 in the morning but my parents stayed up until 7:30 in the morning with this funny drunk dudes and my dad, uncle, aunt and grandma. so next morning i was kind of bored because everyone was sleeping except for my brothers. we enjoyed our gifts that they gave us. i used sentence transformers where i said that before the party i got sick then i used another one when i said until what time i stayed up and also where i described two people as funny drunk dudes.

  8. During my winter vacation I had a lot of fun! I went to my aunts house for four days. While I was there i had a blast. Me and my cousins went wild while I was there. We went outside to play with the freezing snow, in the morning.. My cousin was so obnoxious after a while. I didn't do much on my vacation except for the normal routine everyday. Though i really enjoyed my vacations.
    I transfromed my sentences by adding the word blast as a verb. I also added the word freezing. I described my cousins attitude as obnoxious. Finally i added the part in the morning to add a phrase. I like transforming the sentences since they come out really cool.

  9. It was New Year's eve and I was at my aunts house with practically all of my family.As soon as it hit twelve we went wild.We started to hugg each other and then we rushed to the kitchen to get some grapes,we rapidly ate 12 grapes and we happylly made a wish.Arter a while my family decided to drink liquor.Some of my family members were drunk and some weren't.
    Time past by and the music was still loud.None of my family members were dancing so I went to the dance floor and started to randomly dance to the music.All of them were shocked because they hardly ever see me dance.They all started to laugh out loud so I laughed with them.I was the only one dancing so I quickly pulled my mom into the dance floor with me and we both were dancing.Afterwards I pulled my dad,aunts,and uncles onto the dance floor,so they were all gracefully dancing.On,and on,and on they kept dancing.I was delighted because I had accoplished it.I had practically made my whole family dance.
    Some examples on how i used the sentence transformers are:
    -I had accomplished it.\I was delighted because I had accoplshied it.
    -The music was still on.\Time rapidly past by and the music was still on.
    -We went wild.\As soon as it hit twelve we went wild.

    One special event i went to over break was going to my friend's house. She invited some friends over for her birthday. Even though it was a few poeople the wild party was very entertaining. I enjoyed chattering with my friends and the loud music made you want to jump out of the chair and dance. After all the dancing, it was time to cut the cake. The chocolatey cake made my mouth watery since i was starving. After 5 hours of partying i was exhausted but i still wanted to stay. At the middle of the night i finally fell asleep.

    I used the sentence transformers by using energetic words in verbs and I energized the subject. For example, instead of using the word talking i used chattering. Also, instead of just saying wu cut the cake i added "after all the dancing it was time to cut the cake."

Then to make it worse my brother got sick and we took him to the hospital I was so hungry and sleepy I felt that I was going to explode.So then we didnt go nowhere at new years it was such a bore, well I guess thats all did for christmas vacation.I used the transformers by using it in a excagerated thing.

    One speacial event that I did over break was that we went to celebrate my brother's birthay.It was so fun and by the way people sprinted to play games told me they were having fun too.My brother has having fun too because he couldn't stop dancing and playing.As always my mischevious brother was so curious to see what they had given him.So he decided to open the presents that a chance of caring a toy. But later was dissapointed to not have found one.
    ...I used the sentence transformers in many sentences. For example first I used "by the way sprinted(verb)I could tell they were having fun too."The next was when I added mischevious to the sentence "my mischevious brother was so curious to open his presents that he decided to open his presents."Thets how I used the sentence transformers.

  17. I played with the snow
    I played with the snow, it was very cold and hard.i did a snowman
    I did a snowman n it was hard and frozen the next day it was hard to destroy it but we used a bat n destroyed it. we played snow ball fight
    during vacations we played snowball fight the snow was hard so we did perfect snow balls and when u threw it it hurted because it felt like rocks it nevered got destroyed until you stepped on it. but it was cool and fun that we were planning on doing it again with everyone that was there because we get along and its fun hanging out with your friends and doing crazy things like that well that was my first time i ever played with the snow n actually had fun .well thats pretty much what i did.

    One activity that I did over brake was that I went to my cousin's house to play 5 on 5 football.That day was like 35 degrees.At first I felt really cold.Then once I started playing I didn't feel that cold.Then when I got the cold ball,I ran past my cousin but then I slipped.Then they all started laughing.
    Then whne I got the ball once again I tried not to slip.I kept runnig but then I got tackled to the cold ground.It didnt hurt much because the ground was covered in snow.Then it started snowing and it got even colder and we went inside.The temperature was freezing cold.
    I used transformers byenergizing the subject.I added better words to energize the subject.I also energized the verb by putting different words by replacing the normal verb.

  19. I had a lot of fun during my winter vacation. I went to my best friend's birthday party and I went to my aunt's house to look at her new excersise machine. I also had a great time in Christmas. We opened the presents early and we ate good food.

    In new years we went to one of my aunts house and I was upset at that time because most of my family said they were just going to stay at home. Once we got there we saw everyone eating and I cheered up because, I knew that thats how a family is supposed to be, together. That's why I think I had the one of the best vacations.

    I had a blast during my winter vacation. I went over to my my best friend's party and we enjoyed beig with our friends while we were in vacation. Then I went over to my aunt's house to look at her cool excersise machine. When Christmas came by, my family came over and we opened all our Christmas presents early. We also ate great food like posole, tamales, and tostadas.

    In New Years my family had decide to spend it at my Aunt Lucy's house. At first I was upset beacause most of my family had said they were going to stay at home. Once I got there I saw all my family there eating. Right at that moment I imidiatly cheered up because, I knew thats how a family is supposed to be, together. That's why why I think that was one of the best vacations ever.

    I used the sentences transformers by describing my vacations with more details and making the sentences loger.

  20. During christmas break I went with my family to my aunts house. Children were hopping around through out the whole house, but it was my family. After it was 11:00Pm my father, and his mother decided to go back to the houe and open our presents there. When we got home my brothers rushed up to the christmas tree and sat on the floor waiting. we opended our presents and enjoyed it. About a day or two later(still vacation) my mother saw outside and saw how it was snowing alot. we got a sled and decided to go sleding. my brothers full of excitment ran up the large hill then hopped on and screamed the whole way down.

    How I used the sentence transformers was thinking about a plain sentence that needed detial or something that shows the emotion of ones face or actions, then adding a word or two to make it more visual.

  22. One especial event that I did during this winter vacation was go Ice Skating with my friends! Alejandra & Karen,we went to Mckinley Park.The Ice Skating arena was pretty big but since there were alot of people when we went. It was also really scratch so it was pretty easy to fall.They had to clean it every 30 minutes.Which maybe you would think is a drag but when your actully there it isn't because your feet get sore!.&& So you leave...

    Well I really enjoyed this event because i had alot of fun. Also the fact that Karen felt[btw was halarious].This was one of my fun times with my friends during the winter vacation! :]Yet I though this wouldn't be fun at because its dangerous, but then i decieded to try it!It wasn't my first time but the fear the enver leas of falling.


    I transformed a couple of sentences in my paragraphs.For example
    -The arena was big -> && added but with alot of scratches so it was very easy to fall.
    -I though it wouldn't be fun-> && added but i decided to rty it out!
    -It wasn't my first time ->&& added but the fear never leaves of falling.

    Adios evryone! :]

  23. One event that i did and enjoyed in my holiday is that my family and i usually travel. this year we went to texas. We travel because the whole family agrees that its better to travel in christmas for a present than get some randmon present we dont like.
    Actually it has become a family tradition.

    we celebrated by ordering some food. My whole family just loves wine, mostly red wine, and all of us at least takes about four cups of it. We also danced and played games. We went to texas in the 24th and we left in the 3rd, but we didnt miss the awsome fireworks the hotel{la torreta del lago} had near the pools.


    in these 2 paragraphs i use the transformation in the bigginig because at first i put "in the holiday i went to texas" but then i decided to use the transformation and put"one event that i did, and enjoyed in the holiday i went to texas" the other was in the bigging of the 2nd paragraph at first i put " we ordered food" but then i decided to pu " we celebrated by first ordering food" and in the last paragraph i first put we saw awsome fire works but then added the following.

  25. Hmm Well What I Did Over Our Long But At The Same Time Short Winter Break Was Basically Live And Experience Hurt But Some Fun Too I Guess. I Also Would Be Bored To Death And Watching T.V. During Like The Whole Night. Then Sleep The Next Day Until Like 5pm. Umm Yeah I Guess You Can Say Im Lazy.. Whatever Though(: Uhh I Spent Most Of My Time Outside Too With These Two Dudes Who Live In My Block For A While Until They Went To Mexico. It Was Crazy And Gangsterrr. Heeheeh(:
    Well Yeah I Would Say It Was Kind Of Hurting Because Of The Usual Lame Love Relationship Stuff Stupid People Get Into. So Yeah Ignore That. Umm I Got To Play Snowballs With Friends And Tackle Them In The White Freezing Snow. Although.. I Wish I Was Playing With My Old ExFriend.. But Its Not Always Going To Be Happy Everyday.. Atleast You Got Memories Right??.. I Got To Relax With My Cousins For A While Then We Had Fun Too. Umm I Didnt Really Talk To Friends From Nightingale Because No One Called. So Yeah Again, Whatever.. Heheh. Umm What Else.. Well I Listened To Music Alot Too. But To Be HReal Honest I Really Hated My Vacation And Its Still Not Going As Fun As I Used To Always Be. But Ehh Anyway Yeah Thats All I Did. (: Bye.

  27. One important event that I did over break was that in christmas we get to open presents with our family.When we were going to open our presnts we had to wait until 12:00pm becuase that's our tradition. Our christamas tradition is to spend time with the family. We went to my ant's house. For christmas we went to our ant's house.

    An activity that my family and I do in christamas and new year's is that we do secret santa I don't know if that's an activity but I think it's more like a tradition. What we also do is that each holiday we get to spend it i a different house first we celebrate Thanksgiving an a ant's house, then christmas in another ant's house, and last but not least new year is at my house that's what I did over break. Those were my important activities.

    I used the sentence transformers when I said..
    We went to my ant's house. I changed it by saying.. On christmas we went to my ant's house.

  28. The day was so cold in the morning,and i was freezing outside with my jacket, and two sweathers. In the afternoon i made a snowman one big round ball,one medium, and the other one small. Lastely, i put two black marbles for the eyes,ten marbles for the mouth, and a carrot for the nose. Then i sticked two sticks in the sides of the medium part for the arms. At night i cuddled up to sleep with my pajamas watching outside for the snow to fall.

  29. It was cold White Christmas day. I had gone x-mas shopping in the morning and was busy. Most of thr time my whole family gathers at my grandmas house. When every body had left, it was calm. Now it was just us. Then we had passed out the gifts.I was scared that my family wouldnt like what i choose for them. But they all liked them.(I THINK)And that meant alot becuase I know they enjoyed it.

  38. One morning,My family and I were sitting,eating, and talking. Suddenly my cousin calls and asks me if I would like to go Downtown with her and her family. I asked my parents and they gave permission.I had to promise to behave,to listen, and to not get lost.We all rode to downtown and I was stuck between my foolish cousins.
    I spend most of the day with my serene cousin. We were laughing, playing, and talking while we went from store to store. My cousin and I were ridiculously laughing while eating our sundaes. When we got to Borders,the bookstore, we sent our time looking, reading and writing.She bought three books and after we went to see the Christmas tree. I really enjoyed that day, when we got home we talked, laughed, and played.

  39. The event i had over my break was one of the best time i ever had in my life.I went bought some giantic gifts. That day went fast like a lamborghini in a freeway. When i was going downtown the cars were packed like a concert. The people were in a hurry running . The cars beeping and people screaming at others. I was just schocked because i had never seen people done that before.

    That day for me was a thrilled. My dad's trunk was giant packed. Later on that day i went to my uncle's house . To celebrate christam's eve. That was a experience for me. I enjoyed that day . I ate wonderful food. I watched a great movie. It was a halirious movie i had ever seen. That was the greatest ,the bestest,and outstanding day i ever had.

  40. This christmas I beat two games in under in under two days. I was so excited. Even though my parents, and brother hollered at me to stop playing, I kept on going. I had no regrets. They weren't upset though because I think that they sort of expected this.

    As i kept on playing I was thinking on what they were saying, but I just ignore it. For about an hour it constantly buged me but then I realized that they know what's good for me so I stopped playing. I did the same thing the following day, I sticked to a limit. Now I play until I get bored, so I probably play all day if we don't go out.

    Here I used the transformers (not the toys) to elaberate my writng by using words such as excited, hollered, and constantly.

  43. An special event I did over break was going to mexico. I had fun. I had fun with my family and freinds and I did not want to come back to chicago because I had so much fun and most of all the weather was so warm and so graet that I could be outside as long as I wanted without my mom having to worry. My brother even cried and my mom told him that we were living the next day.
    The activity I did was I celebrated with my hole family and we cheered with apple juice. I can't wait for my mom to tell me you can go to Mexico this summer.Because I'll give her a hug and kiss. Because I'll give her a hug and kiss and I'll tell her mommy you are the best mother in the whole wide world and I'll make her buy me the ticket in that same moment because then she is going to regret it and will not be going anywhere. Aother thing while you were here in the cold and in the winter I was in the warm not being cold one second. I really had lots of fun. I really had lots of fun that I always wanted to be outside and having lots of fun. the way I used the sentence transformers was by saying how much fun I had in Mexico These are some of the fraces I used "I really had lots of fun." and "I had fun."

  46. On Christmas and on New years, my family and I cried of happyness. On Christmas, I started all the crying, because I felt so happy that day, with my family, I started to cry. The same thing happened in New Years, but I didn`t started the foss. That day, my grandma called home, to tell us "Happy New Year!". She started crying when my sister told her "I Love You", because my grandma loved her the most. I did felt jealous of her, but hey, look at the bright side. Anyway, I had the best break, of all the happyness, and crying with my family.

  47. I didn't do much after break. The few things I got to do was not much fun. I went to wisconsin to visit my annouying, boring cousins. Then after that cold trip back to brilliant Chicago I got visited by my uncles and aunt. None of giving, delivering prensents, infact they got the recieving.
    After that I think I didn't do much exciting things. We just put up the bright, alumminating christmas tree and decorated it with an "excited" attitude. And that was basicly the things I did during break. Yeah what a waste of a long,nesseceary, needed vacation.

    Well what i did during over break is that I went outside with my friends and we were having a snowball fight.In the morning it was kind of cold, but even though it was cold I still went outside.I called my friends outside so they could play in the snow outside.Than this annoying kid threw me to the snow. But it was still funny.Than this noisey kids came out of no where and started to through snow at us. but we were friends.

    I really had fun with my friends even though they threw me to the snow. In the night we had to go in because it was last already.But we didn't we still stayed alittle time outside.And we decided to go to the store.Than finally we went in.

    How i used the sentence tranformers is that i used a phrase to the beggining and also energized the subject of my sentence.

  49. One of the things I did pver the summer was to go to the amazing and great Wisconsin.

    We, my mom , my dad, my cousins, my ucle and aunt, and my sister and me, went to this hotel that is called Kalahari.

    My mom had to go check us in but since she only did a reservation for 4, then we had to only send me mom to check in.

    After she cheked us in we went out to check out the lobby. It was very cool so cool that in the middle of the lobby there was 2 alive lion cubs! We asked to pet them but they said we had to take a picture in order to do that and in order to take a picture then we had to pay! So we didn't touch them!

    It was around 12:00 p.m. when we rushed
    toward the room with a pack full of heavy loaded suitcases.

    Once in the room my mom realized that the room we were in was not the room we ordered so we called the front desk and we asked for a better room wich was on the 2nd floor. ( I forgot to mention the room befor was on the 4th floor the highest floor of the world I mean hotel...but it was beautiful I had this luxurious marble kitchen counter top with this extremely shiny sink that almost blinded my eyes but it only had this humungous king sized bed and a wimpy twin sized couch-bed or so.)

    Once in room 2118 we were playing and goofing of so much that the people down stairs called the front desk and they sent somebody upstairs but since we were 8 sleeping in the room and had only registered 4 half of us jumped out the window, literally, as my dad opened the door and got the message.

    Well since the waterark was closed at that time we finally went to sleep.

    At the morning, like around 12:30a.m., okay maybe around the afternoon we woke up adn me and my mom went to shop for my bathing suit we got this nice glittery gold and white with black strings bathing suit. Then we head down to this waterpark and went into the slow looking Lazy River.

    I stopped at the look at this ginormous water slide. It looked like a normal water slide expect for the fact that it was in water(obviosly) and was to be ridden in a yellow tube for 2 riders only.

    The the next day we went to the Arcade and got this very cool wrist bands to ride the rides at the Arcade.

    We went to this game called Laser Tag.
    It is so freakishly fun because we had to put on this vest so that other people could tag you and attached to the vest was this laser gun in order to tag other people.


    I used the sentence transformers in when there was a word that could be transformed into a better word. Like for example instead of big I used humungous on ginormous is like exagerating or making it sound like exagiration.

    While I was on the Chirtmas break one great event that happened was I taught my baby nephew how to say my name. It took an enormus amount of my patience. Even my annoying sister kept telling "Lupe if he does want to learn leave him alone",and I ignored her. Teaching my stuborn nephew didn't take days but weeks is more accurate. A week before Chirstmas my nephew spoke my name in front of my entire family. Once my heard his first word they then went frisky and crazy. Exept for me because I knew it was about time he said it.
    At that moment I then realized reason why I was expression less but happy. The reason was that evil little boy was now going to be my favorite nephew.The reason for this is that he didn't make my day but my decade.I used the sentence transformers by energizeing the subject of a few sentences, and others with verbs.

  51. What i did during my break was I would go to down town every saturday and play soccer with my brother and team. It was a lot of fun because soccer is what I love. We also went to down-town where I bought three, pink, blue and red, shirts from forever 21. I had so much fun other than the fact that it was really cold. We went to different stores like Borders, Puma, Forever 21, Footlocker, and Sketcher. It was so much fun, it was the best day ever!!
    I used transformers when I was describing what i had bought at forever 21 and what kind of stores I went to.

  52. When me and my family went to the christmas fest in Navy Pier it was so magnificent. There was a indoor skating ring, a video game section and bouncy bounce houses. Also a huge ferris wheel that had colorful lights. An a ride called th Wind Clider.

    There they had elegent christmas trees. An also a hilarious play. They picked people from the crowd to act out seens. I enjoyed going there I hope they make another

    What I did was try to energize words. Like putting elegent and try to make it vysual.

    Then we played a secong. This time more cousins came and we played on this actual soccer field. I was defence. I was defence and stopped many goals. Then i went up the field and actualy scored 2 goals out of the 10 my team did. As a result both teams tied 10 to 10. I had so much fun playing thier.....i want to play again their=)!!!!! So i used them by saying "I was defence. I was defence and stopped many goals." that how i used the sentences transformers.

  58. In my vacation my famaly shared a tradition wich is compiting on dancing. If you win you would dance with the next person. In that case i compited with my sister who was only 18.My sister and i twirled ,danced, and swifted across the room. Of course i won.My brother was next but he didn't care. He was reading,
    watching, and laughing at me while i was dancing.My father was strong,powerful and not old to shake his groovey.There was no chance of him to win over me. Last but not least my little sister. They all said she was good at dancing. When it comes to dancing we get really competitive. My little sister was sweating,coughing,and laughing while dancing and so was i. At the end mY sister took the wining.We continued dancing until we couldnt, i think i may have lost pounds.

    i used transformers by using three words that contain -ed,-ing and making them into a sentence.For example i took these three words
    danced swirl,and swifted. I made these words into a sentence by inclusing a person doing something.

    Over break I wrote a lot of poetry. During the holidays I get more inspiration to write. The active pen scrolled across my paper without me even thinking. The words kept flying out of my mind like a bird soaring through the air. I wrote about what I was seeing. I saw an active little boy named Zachary running around outside building a snowman, and wrote about that. I wrote about how this gentle and caring older woman that the family has known for a long time came to spend Christmas with us. During the night, I wrote poetry, while everyone was asleep.
    On new years,as I was watching the TV at night I thought about everything that had happened. I remembered the sadness and happiness. I thought about how all of the caring and loving people in heaven were watching over us for the whole year and kept us safe. I thought about how each year we have it better then others have it, and I wrote about that. Most importantly I wrote about my family and how lucky we are to have each other.

    In the first paragraph I added "over break" before "I wrote a lot of poetry". I added phrases in many other places. Also I energized the subject in many places like when I said," I saw an active boy running around."

  61. During my christmas vacation my famaly and i shared a tradition. Our tradition was cooking Tamales together. Their is no one left behind.
    As we were cooking my mom put some music on. Suddenly everyone started to dance ,sing ,and laugh.When we were putting the meat into the corn my dad talked laughed and shared about his life as a child. He said he was chunky and that no girl wanted him at that time. JUst kidding.While the tamales were ready we decided to tell eachother what was the funniest moment. I went first i said when some friend went into the wrong bathroom, she aceddently went to a mens bathroom.Everyone in my famaly laughed, chuckled,and smiled.Our tradition always included laughing,smiling,and talking among ourselfs.

    I used the transformers by taking three words and making them into a sentence.

  62. I noticed that in my break i spent most of my house playing videogames. For example I got a new game for my X Box 360 and I spent hours playing until my parents told me to get off the counch and go outside.Another example that I stayed indoors playing videogames is my sister got this Mario game for her DS so I played it until i passed it ,which took me like 2 weeks.

    In addition over my vacation i spent some time outside playing football with some of my friends from school.The reasin for this was my parents took away all my electronics because they said "get of the couch and go outside"
    I used the sentence transformersin adding what i did all the time over the break.

  63. One time during winter vacation, me and my family were lazily watching TV one day when we decided to go out and eat. We got quickly dressed and my mom went to ask my sister to come down, but she stubbornly refused. My mother desperately pleaded, but she made her final word.
    We hastily left home and went to eat. When we arrived there we squzzed in the seats after we ordered. We patiently waited until the food was there and when suddenly a woman came. She asked rudely for some money. I felt a little uneasy with the situation, but my mom gave her money. After leaving, we went back home.
    I used sentence transformers by adding descriptive words in front of some words. I also added more by showing the feelings I had with the events happening.

  64. In christmas vacation one special envent that I did was when my family threw a baby shower to my brother's girlfriend in December-20-09 .The party was set with all the invitaions sent to the people who were coming but before the paty was arrange about 2 days before the baby shower everyone didn't tell my brother's girlfriend aracely nothing about the we were goin to threw her a baby shower since she didn't wanted a baby shower in the first place.The day of the party my brother keep her girlfriend busy by going to any stores or take her anywhere she likes to go and while at the house everyone was getting the house ready for the baby shower but then my brother called saying that aracely wanted to come home and get ready for a party that she though she was going but it was just to keep her busy.Then her mom try to help and try to keep her from coming home so she called her and saying that she needed something for the house and after a few hours it was time to bring her home so around 8:30 they come and all the family and guess were hidding all the lights off and being quiet,once they open the door we said "suprise".She got all nervous that she got all red and she want to go change but we didn't let her change and just keep going with the party and then she wanted to leave because of the other "party" she though she was going but then we told her that it was just something to keep her busy and she even bought a present.Then after we have eating we play the baby shower games like puting a word that a baby might do inside a ballon,and that who ever crossing their arms or leg they need to pay a dollar inside the plastic baby bottle.All of that is anoe special event that i did over break.

    I use sentence transformer when I explain what kind of game we played instead of just saying "we played games" and explain every single sentece with details showing the things tht had happen in that day.

  65. During Christmas break one very exciting event I did was help decorate the house with my mom.Every single year my mom usually takes out all the wonderful Christmas decorations and starts setting things up. My very excitable mother usually takes out all the old front lawn decorations before decorating anything inside or on the roof of our house. Our front lawn decorations are occupied every single time Christmas arrive though the sad part of this years displays was that my mom no longer but up the inflatable adornments or the deers. When my mom began to take out all the Christmas displays/decorations I began to organize and untangle the lights we were going to occupy this year, and like always there where none left to be preserved since we used each and every one of the lights. As I untangled the lights my mom began adorning them around our fence having one pole with lights another one with out one and so on.From there we began to set up some little cute displays of a snowman,santa claus,and a candy cane along the fence that faced west. The lights that remained where used to wrap around the outdoor trees to make the scenery seem more lively. In our front window I suggested to my mom that we make an x across or large window,I explained to her that is was something unique since you don’t usually see any lights forming an x in Christmas.
    After my mom and I finished setting up the front lawn we worked on the roof next.While I never did actually climb up there I handed my mom all the adornments. Last year my quick and expert of a mom bought a new star for us to use in our roof,unfortunately though we encountered some problems with the particular star,nonetheless we managed to fix it.The next thing we decorated was the inside of our house.Years before we had never put up the large tree we had instead we set up a small tree but recently these years my brothers and me have been able to convince our mom to set up the tree and that’s exactly what we did.I organized the fake leaves on the tree to make it appear as though there were no gapping holes,even if there where a bunch on the unnoticeable side.After I had finished doing that I set about to hang some decorations on the tree,putting up lots of multi color balls. In the end adorning was the most entertaining thing I did and it was enjoyable too.

    The way I used sentence transformers:
    In the beginning I described the event as exciting,the decorations as wonderful,my mom as an excitable person,and described the small decorations as cute, I changed the verb in a couple of my sentences to make it sound better than repeating every word a bunch of times.I also added more details to each sentence than I had originally planned like when I said that we decorated the trees outdoors I didn’t have to add the bit where it said that it made the scenery look more lively.

    During Christmas break, there were many family reunions. The most special event was when we got together on Christmas day. It was a very special day because that day all of my relatives came together. I hadn't seen most of my cousins for about 3 years so when I saw them once again, I was thrilled. It was incredible to spend such an important day as one big family! We had a long conversation about what we liked and what we should do over the weekend.

    After dancing to some upbeat music we played a board game. It was funny how we were all scurrying around the house and then all of a sudden we sit down. We also exchanged gifts. and I got some very adorable clothes.

    I used the sentence transformers by adding adorable in front of clothes so that it changed the sentence and was more specific. I also added during christmas break in the begining of there were many family reunions because it builds up the sentence and makes it the time at which we came together more descriptive.

We also played games like monopoly was onr of them and it was so fun cause no one got mad and we all played happily.

    We saw the intimidating officers checking peoples papers. They checked the papers of my family and then we went to our very drab journey to vist our family.
    -I used words that I tought I could use to make the sentence more intresintg and less boring. I also used a thesurous to make the sentence more descriptive

    During my Christmas Vacation I went on a trip to Los Angeles California with my brother to visit my sister. We spent alot of time over there and we did alot of cool things over there. One activity that we did was we got together with my brother and some of his friends and we went to this public place where supposely its haunted. Its an outdoor place(somewhat like a canyon) and it was extremely dark because we went at night.
    It was so dark, there was some time we didin't know where we were going. One of my brother's younger friend was really scared. I have to admit the darkness scared me somewhat too. When we made it up a very steep hill my brother in law and my brother and his friends got scared because it seemed like they heard some things and we all flew back down towards the car and got on even though i didn't hear anything. It wad hilarious watching older people get scared! The only reason i ran back was because i didn't want to be left alone up there, but i really wasn't scared. I have to admit that i really enjoyed watching them. It was around 11 when we just left home.
    I used the sentence transformers by trying to make the verbs and subjects of my sentences more energized and detailed.

  74. During this winter break i experienced many lessons that i could use in life. For example i hosted a senior party with my CCD class. This made me realize that there will come the day were we will need help to do simple things. Also, it made me realize that if we have the chance to help someone we should do it without thinking twice about it.
    When i was at the party i noticed the seniors were really happy. Although i think that its because it was kids hosting the party not regular old adults. i noticed how much fun they were having when we served them the food, played games with them, and danced with them. They really appreciated the fact that we took the time to be with them and hosted their party.
    *I used the sentence transformers in my sentences by being more detailed and specific. also i made the verbs more energized.

  76. Early morning in my house,after Christmas, my famliy and I were enjoying breakfast. Suddenly my elated cousin suggested we spend the day Downtown. I thought that would be a great idea. So we all got ready and drove Downtown. I was struck with my two crazy cousin who were fooling around.
    When we arrived we went from store to store looking at this,buying that.It was awesome hanging out with my cousins no matter how insane they may be. When we went to eat lunch my cousins devoured their food, while my cousin and I goobled our sundaes. It was cool outside but we enjoyed verybit of coldness.
    I used transform in the beginning by giving my setting,when I described my elated cousin,and when I described my crazy cousins. Also, When I described my cousins and I eating lunch.

  77. The best thing that happened to me during vacation was when I went to the mall and movies with my friends. A lot of people think thatwarching movies is boring at times but I think that watching and spending times with friends at the movies is fantasic! This makes me think that a lot of people should go to the movies way more often! First of all, we watched the movie Avatar, and it was such a great movie.

    Then, when we finished watching the movie at Chicago Ridge, we went shopping! For example, first we went to Aeropostale, Hollister and finally, to American eagle. It was a fun day! i used the sentence transformers at the begining of my sentence like for example...when I saidmany people think, but I think. If u look carefully i used a couple of more adn this made the sentences become a bitt more interesting !

  79. a special event that happend to me was on chritmas it was a special event.one of the reaasons is because i get lotz lotz of presents,another reason is because all my family and me were having fun.what i didi 4 chritmas was get together witha mostly all my family in my house we did secret santa
    my last reason why chritmas was fun is because we were like not giving the presents right away we gave the person we got a lil tot or something little for example something we knew tey liked but it was inveresing.

    i really think chritmas was the best especial event that happend to me over the break also new year was a special event because of curse is a new year and we all maka our selfs diffrent by maybe tryg to change ortrying to change our personality newyear is also a good memory because i was with all my family wich is was more family that on chritmas well i kind of change my mind because in new years we play games and make a contest we get prizes it was really fun but i still like more better chritmas.

    the transformers i use were my 1st reason.my 2nd resosn
    one example .another example and i think .and alaso.because those were the thinngsi use them because all ofthem fit on really good sentenses i wantedto use:)

    As i was walking through the park i realized that summer was the best season of the year. Everyone was enjoying it some kids were in the pools others were on the swings and even adults seemed to enjoy it too. Adults were running around the park and playing sports with their children. To me it seems like a great season because you can go walk around with your friends , you can play sports ,and you can spend a lot of time with your parents. People dont get sick like they do during the winter and the weather is just perfect to go to the beach.
