My Friend Mark
by Kenneth Beare

Mark’s Childhood
My friend Mark was born in a small town in the north of Canada called Dooly. Mark grew up a happy
and interested boy. He was a good student in school who studied carefully for all his exams and got
very good grades. When it came time to go to university, Mark decided to move to the United States in
order to attend the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

Mark at University
Mark enjoyed his time at university. In fact, he enjoyed his time immensely, but he didn’t really spend
the time studying for his courses. He preferred to travel around Oregon, to visit all the sites. He even
climbed Mt. Hood twice! Mark became very strong, but his grades suffered because he was lazy.
During his third year at university, Mark changed his major to agricultural studies. This turned out to be
a very good choice, and Mark slowly began to get good grades again. In the end, Mark graduated from
the University of Oregon with a degree in agricultural sciences.

Mark Gets Married


Two years after Mark graduated, he met a wonderful, hardworking woman named Angela. Angela and
Mark fell in love immediately. After three years of dating, Mark and Angela married in a beautiful
church on the coast of Oregon. They’ve been married for two years and now have three lovely children.
All in all, life has been very good to Mark. He’s a happy man and I’m happy for him.

Example: Mark- Proper Noun


1. 11.
2. 12.
3. 13.
4. 14.
5. 15.
6. 16.
7. 17.
