It’s cloudy today; a strong wind is ripping through our area; a storm is drawing near. Back home, I found that my dad had tacked two maps up in my room, but the upper one, the world map, is too high. I have to climb onto something to take a closer look at it. My dad probably intended to have me memorise all the names of the fifty states first. By the way, these maps are not accurate enough nor detailed with landforms. Instead, they feature specialities of each region, such as two dice for Las Vegas and a cowboy for Texas. It’s fun to stare at them and imagine what all these places are like. Your writing has improved a lot.

It’s cloudy today; a strong wind is ripping through our area; a storm is drawing near. Back home, I found my dad had nailed (with nails? Normally you might use thumb tacks but if they are too heavy maybe the need nails) two maps up in my room. But the upper one, the world map, is still too high so I have to climb on something to have (or take) a closer look.
