Joe

= Joe's writing sample = = Draft 1 = = The best sport I ever played was soccer. I like it because I am good at it and I score lots of goals. = = = = Draft 2 = = My name is Joe and I am 15. I have been playing soccer for ten years. It is the best sport ever. One time I scored five goals in one game. In another game, with two minutes left to play, I ran like a racecar and kicked the ball; it flew through the net like a cannon. = = = = Draft 3 = = My father bought me my first soccer ball when I was five years old. I could barely kick it. I kicked the ball around the yard everyday, and I got good at hit. When I went to school, I played on the soccer team. I practiced everyday. It is the best sport ever. I like it because I am good at it and I score lots of goals. I learned how to hit the ball with every part of my body except my hands. One time I scored five goals in one game. I scored a goal by hitting it into the net with my head like it was a ping pong ball. You can't touch the ball in soccer with your hands unless you are a goalie. In another game, with two minutes left to play, I ran like a racecar and kicked the ball; it flew through the net like a cannon. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
