Observe a scene, preferably in a crowded, busy, or public place. List the activities that you see occurring and the actors (those doing the activity). Write 5-6 sentences that use your observation list and underline the subjects of your sentences. Write a few sentences experimenting with using different types of pronouns from the tables in Unit 3.
Activities/Actors list
Reading - Young woman
Talking - Three friends
Working - Dark-haired guy, short girl with frizzy hair
Waiting - Well-dressed man
Texting - Elderly fellow
Ordering - Soccer-mom
Sentences:
A young woman is reading a dog-eared book in the corner of the café.
Talking animatedly, the three friends whiled away the afternoon.
A dark-haired guy and a short girl with frizzy hair were working behind the counter.
I noticed the well-dressed man waiting for someone at one of the tables.
It is a modern world when you aren't surprised to see an elderly fellow texting on his iPhone.
The soccer-mom ordering coffee was obviously stressed.
