A student is writing a story for school about his winter vacation. Read
this draft paragraph from his story and the directions that follow.
During my winter vacation I visited my dad, and it was gloomy where
he lives! The longer I stayed, the more I became used to the daily
blizzards. It was still gloomy, though. Sometimes it would stop
snowing, but then icy rain would fall. That made it seem gloomy all the
time. Even though I had fun with my dad, I was glad to get back home
to the beach!
