1. Three and four make seven. 2. Two and six make eight. Five and six
make eleven. 3. Seven and five make twelve. 4. I have been studying
geometry since five months ago, and German since January. 5. I have read
three German books, but I shall not be able to talk in this language
until after August. 6. To learn how to speak such a language is a
difficult matter. 7. Nine of the children in our school are now studying
German with me. 8. Some learn it easily, others do not like it. 9. Three
of the boys and two of the girls in that school are German. 10. They
had resided four years in a large city, but I think (that) they live
more contentedly in our quiet village. 11. They can not talk with us
very well, but merely nod their heads when we talk to them. 12. I had
not seen them before they came to school, although they are neighbors
of ours. 13. They are amiable children, with blue eyes, red cheeks, and
yellow hair. 14. They can ride very well, and often ride eight or ten
miles in one day. 15. They usually ride in a park three miles wide and
four miles long, where there is but little ("nur malmulte da") dust.
