For English Learners Story 2 : Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced Beginner: When I walked to school today, the weather was cold. When I got to school, I went to talk to my friend named Sophia. "How are you, Sophia?" I asked. "I'm good, how about you?" She replied. "I'm fine but I'm a little bit cold," I said. "Well, that's because you are not wearing a jacket!" Sophia said. Then the bell rang and it was time for class. Intermediate: When I walked to school today, the weather was cold with a bit of warmth from the sun. When I arrived at school, I went to talk to my friend before class started. "How are you" I asked my friend Sophia. "I'm good, today is cold isn't it?" she replied. "Yeah, good thing I'm wearing a jacket, " I said. "Me too," Sophia said in agreement. The bell rang and it was time for class to start. Advanced This morning, I walked to school alone. My neighborhood was quiet and the weather was a bit cold. The sun shined through the clouds and cast a small warmth upon my head. When I arrived at school, I went to go speak with my friend. "Hey Sophia! How are you this morning?" I asked. "Oh, pretty good but I'm feeling a bit sleepy," Sophia replied. "Yeah, that homework yesterday took me all night to finish!" I agreed. After we did some small chat, the bell rang signalling that it was time to start class.

@lups: "pretty good" can roughly translate to "alright" or "a bit good". You use "pretty good" when you feel or think someone or something is sort of good. Here are some examples: "How do you feel today?" "I'm feeling pretty good" "That guy is pretty good at playing tennis." "The project is looking pretty good so far."

@karen: The stories I write are only based on what I think is advanced for a English learner. I don't really know what is exactly considered advanced. I think that the subject I gave about school is fairly an easy topic to understand. If anything, the advance story in this notebook can be written by a 7th grader or maybe slightly younger. If you can understand it, that's great! You should check out my other story and tell me if you can undertand it too. If so, I can write a more challenging one later. Thank you for reading!
