Remember that class that said everything was too hard? Well I was right, they liked the grammar cloze. I took this section of a speech by Bill Clinton:
I have traveled all over the world. I have met with the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. I have been in the most successful communities in the world. I have also been in the poorest villages of Africa, of Asia, of Latin America. And I believe, more strongly today than ever, that intelligence and ability and a human spirit are evenly distributed across the rich and the poor, in every continent on Earth.
Very nice. I like the speech, too.
