Camping

If you want to go on a fun family vacation, you should try camping. Camping is when you sleep in a tent in the outdoors. You can sleep in a sleeping bag inside your tent to keep you warm. There is usually no electricity when you go camping, so you must bring batteries to use different tools. When it is dark outside, you should have a flashlight. You can also ask an adult to make a fire. A fire will help you stay warm, and it also provides light. You can also cook things over a fire with adult supervision. One of the most popular camping treats are s'mores. This is a quick an easy snack that you can make over a fire. Some activities that you can do when you're camping include hiking, fishing, and canoeing. Camping really gives you a chance to look at the beauties of nature.

Interjections:

What are interjections? 

      Interjections are words that expresses some kind of emotion. A sentence does not need an interjection. If an interjection is omitted, the sentence will still make sense. If an exclamation mark follows an interjection, it usually shows a strong emotion. If a comma follows an interjection, it usually shows a weaker emotion. Some examples of interjections are Ouch! Wow! Geez! or no, yes.

Choose the interjection that would best complete the following sentences:


1. __________ He broke his leg. (Ouch!    Well,     Okay!)

2. __________ I got a perfect score on my test! (No!       Wow!      Well,)

3.  __________ My phone just died. (Nope,      Geez!         Wow!)

4. __________ Come back here!  (No,        Well,        Hey!)

5. __________ I don't understand what you said.  (Wow!       Huh?      Ouch!)
