Example Passage
On a Friday morning Stan went shopping for clothes. He was going to his friend’s birthday
party, so he wanted to dress up for the occasion. As he was passing by a shop window
he noticed a nice pair of pants. He went inside the shop to try them on. He entered the
fitting room, took off his old jeans and tried to squeeze into the pants. Eventually he
stopped trying, because he just couldn’t fit in the pants. After that Stan decided to go on
a diet.
