I had my students write a short paragraph within five minutes with the provided words, " First, Second, Then, At last, All in all." as their wishes. The writings of theirs surprise me and encourage me a lot.

My friends came to my home because today is my birthday. My mother prepared a lot of food and drinks.

First, my friends and I went to my room. We talked and played the computer together.

Second, we started singing songs and playing games.

Then, we had a great time before my mom came inside the room and pleased us to drink coke and eat a cake.

At last, they gave me birthday gifts one by one.

All in all, I feel happy to have my friends celebrate my birthday with me at home.

When you have some problems, you should do something.

At last, say "Thank you." to him or her.

Dear Melody,

I like to make a cake in my free time, and I also have some tips to teach you.

First, you need to prepare materials, such as a bag of flour, eggs, some spoons of sugar, a bowl of water, and a bowl of milk.

Second, put eggs and flour and pour milk into the bowl.

Then, stir it. And you should pour it into some modes before you take them to the oven. Wait for some minutes.

At last, you can smell and eat the cookies you make.

All in all, it is fun to make cookies.

Best wishes,

Kathy

Tina

First, you need to take a shower.

All in all, you can dream a good dream when you sleep.
