Dialogue 3/4th passage
Last month, I went back to America. First, I went to Florida to go to Disney World!
Second, I went to my home in Delaware. I was very happy to see my house. It is very big.
But when it snows I must shovel a lot.
My family might look strange. My parents adopted my sister Jill and I.
Later they had my sister Jenna. We might look different, but we love each other very much.
5/6th grade passage
Last month, I went back to America for a vacation. But first I went to Florida to see my parent's new house and to go to Disney world. After my trip to Florida, I went to my home in Delaware. My house has a big yard and it has many rooms. When it snows, I must shovel a lot.
My family might look strange. My mother and father are both white. My sister Jill and I are both Korean and my sister Jenna is white. Although we might not look like a family from far away, we are and we love each other very much.
