Lesson 8 The best and the worst

Text

Joe Sanders has the very beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everbody enters for "The nicest garden competition" each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's Gard En is more interesting. He has made neat paths and have built a wooden bridge over a pool. I likes gardens too, but I don't like the hard. Every year I enter for the garden computation too, and I always win a litter prize for the worst garden in the town.
