2. James hid his face in his hands and drooped his head.
Tooth Fairy
Jenny snuggled under for blanket with her eyes wide open.
“I will stay awake. Oh, I want to see the fairy,” she muttered sleepily.
That afternoon in school, her milk tooth had wiggled and turned for the last time. It
fell on a page of the book that Jenny was reading. Now she had a space just as most of her
schoolmates had, right in the middle of her beautiful grin.
Before going to bed that night, Jenny put the tooth under her pillow to see whether a
fairy would take it away and leaved a surprise in its place. She wanted to stay awake, but
her eyelids drooped and closed.
The room was still quiet. Then, a tinkle, like the sound of a music box, filled the air.
Out of the darkness, the shiniest little fairy any could imagine, floated into the room. She
knelt down beside Jenny’s pillow and found the hidden tooth.
The fairy dropped the tooth into a golden purse and whispered, “Now I have another
pearl for my queen’s necklace. Thanks to you Jenny. Out of gratitude, I will leave you this
coin. It will be your reward and will bring you luck, Jenny.” The music began again, and the
fairy fluttered away.
Before she opened her eyes, Jenny reached under the pillow. She was surprised
when she felt something there. When she saw the coin, she sat up smiling.
Mother smiled and said, “You want to believe that she came, don’t you? So why
don’t we just make believe that she did?”
“But I saw her, Mother. I just don’t know how. I wish I didn’t fall asleep,” she said
winking at Mother. “Oh, well, I still have baby teeth anyway!”

Conjunctions is a part of speech that joins two words, phrases or clauses together.
Coordinating Correlative
Conjunctions Conjunctions Common Subordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions also called coordinators, are conjunctions that connect two
or more equal items.
Examples:
He plays tennis and soccer
Correlative conjunctions are used in pairs. They work in pairs to coordinate two items.
Examples:
I didn't know that she can neither read nor write.
Subordinating conjunctions, also called subordinators, are conjunctions that join a dependent
(or subordinating) clause to an independent (or main) clause.
Examples:
He reads the newspapers after he finishes work..
"So" is a small English word that can have different meanings. As mentioned in the table above,
it is commonly used as a coordinator rather than as a subordinating conjunction. There are,
however, instances when "so" may introduce purpose and in this case "so" is used as a
subordinating conjunction.
Examples:
"I took my umbrella with me so I wouldn't get wet."
" I stayed so I could see you."

Transition is a word or phrase that connects one idea to another. This connection
can occur within a paragraph or between paragraphs
Here are the commonly used transition words
Transitions may be used at various times within a paragraph to show the connections between
sentences. Here are some examples:
Example: The main character displays strength and courage throughout the story.
He showsfear and apprehension when he encounters the antagonist.
Revision: The main character displays strength and courage throughout the story.
However, he shows fear and apprehension when he encounters the antagonist.
The use of the transition in this case helps to show the contrast between the two
ideas while also connecting them.
Example: In the novel, there are many tragic events that take place.
The prince’s untimely death occurs two days before the wedding.
Revision: In the novel, there are many tragic events that take place.
For example, the prince’s untimely death occurs two days before the wedding.
The transition helps to connect the idea to the example that follows.
Ever since I moved into my own apartment last fall, I have gotten out of the habit of making my
bed--except on Fridays, of course, when I change the sheets. Although some people may think that I am
a slob, I have some sound reasons for breaking the bed-making habit. In the first place, I am not
concerned about maintaining a tidy bedroom because no one except me ever ventures in there.
Secondly, I only use my bed to sleep in, so why go to all of the effort of making it when I am just going to
mess it up again the next time I’m in my room. In addition, I find nothing uncomfortable about crawling
into a rumpled mass of sheets and blankets. On the contrary, I enjoy poking out a cozy space for myself
before drifting off to sleep. Also, I think that a tightly made bed is downright uncomfortable: entering one
makes me feel like a loaf of bread being wrapped and sealed. Finally, and most importantly, I think bed-
making is an awful way to waste time in the morning. I would rather spend those precious minutes
checking my email or feeding the cat than tucking in corners or snapping the spread. Therefore, I will not
conform to the rules on tidiness and my bed will remain unmade!
