You can use the practice text for a dictation, a gapped text, or other form of classroom practice. For your convenience, here is the text you can copy and paste into a Word document.
TEXT:
School can seem like a play where someone hands you a part. Many of us wish we could pick another character. Don’t believe me? If you could listen in on our thoughts, you’d know the truth.
“I’m the popular one. Everyone knows when I enter a room. People pay attention to what I wear, what I say, and what I do. But sometimes the attention is too much. I wonder if I’m being the real me.”
“I’m the smart one, the one the teachers love. Everyone expects me to deliver only the best results. I’ve come to expect the same. What if one day I didn’t?”
“I’m the football player, the basketball player, and the baseball player. I don’t remember deciding to make sports my life. It just happened. I have this memory of me planting flowers with my mother. I love sports, but…well, I think, ‘Where did that boy in the garden go?’”
“I’m the quiet one they don’t notice. I think the teachers don’t always see me either. But I observe everything. I store a lot of thoughts in my head. If I stood up on a desk and shouted, would anyone hear me? Would they listen?”
We all play our part. It’s one big performance, but who are we performing for? Can I leave the stage? I’d rather write my own story. Give me a pencil and paper.
