FLE 133 CONTEXTUAL GRAMMAR EXERCISE

EXERCISE 1
 Our beagle loves hunting. Whenever someone opens the back door for her, she barrels down porch steps into the yard and runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbits and other presences which are too subtle for human detection. While sniffing, she spins her tail in quick circles. At first, it spins clockwise and after it spins counterclockwise. Sniffing and spinning always occur together .

EXERCISE 2
 The Government Printing Office in Washington D.C. is a source of much useful information about which few people know .It is the official publishing house for the federal government .The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a large number of subjects which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents many of which are inexpensive and for some of which there is no charge at all.

EXERCISE 3
John Jacob, a German immigrant, reaped America’s first fortune. He was lowborn, uneducated and unfortunately never learned to speak English properly. He made his initial money trading Indian furs.. He carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of Hamburg gutters.
