18.I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging.I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself.I admit,it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept.I had been a young mother,and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge.I remarried when she was a teenager,and then had two more children.On getting the news that she was expecting,I remember thinking"What do I know about being a grandmother?-I haven't even finished raising my own kids yet!"I don't like to be unprepared,so I read a few books about grandparenting.That gave me a little help,but I was still uncertain.I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't.But I couldn't quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be.Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny,as she's known by most people,and I knew I had the answer.
I didn't realize it until that moment,but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be.I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid.Here's what I learned from my Granny:
Grandmothers always have a cookie jar.For my entire life,Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies.When I was a little tiny girl,just at eye level with the counter,Granny would get the cookie jar down for me.When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach.As I got taller,if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside.Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny's house was check the cookie jar and there were always cookies in it.Many years later,I'll drive my own children to Granny's house and the first thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte's first Christmas,my daughter bought me my own cookie jar.She said when they came to see me,her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

13.It's not that hard to be a better writer.Seriously,it's especially true if you're starting as a non-writer who's just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.
1.Have a Structure. (71)DYour body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according,to topic,each one dealing with a single element of your subject.
2. (72)AWhen you say a car runs"fast",don't leave it at that.Show me how fast it is by; detailing the vehicle's top speed and acceleration,along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust.Do the same with every other significant modifier(修飾語) you use.
3.Don't pad words. (73)CMost of the time,this ends up turning what's essentially nice; writing into unreadable nonsense.You'11see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs,along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning.
4.Choose good words.Sometimes,the way your text reads comes down to word choice.Don't say"converse"when you can say"speak"; don't write"adjudicate"when you say"decide". (74)E
5.Use a writing software.Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar.That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end. (75)G

A.Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation.
B.Don't let anything keep you from it!
C.Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals.
D.Regardless of what you do,your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion.
E.Basically,put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers.
F.Some ideas can be quite correct.
G.Sure,a few mistakes might slip in now and then,but a good tool will take care of most of them.

You can take a ride on a fire truck,a mail truck,or an ice-cream truck.Rides are﹩2.00,but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.
Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends!There is something to interest everyone who attends.The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.
To get to Bentwood Truck Museum,take Route 29 (Kingston Highway) to Palmer Street.Go south on Palmer Street for one block and take a left onto Norman Drive.You will see the museum building and the amusement park on your left.Parking is available across the street,on your right.
