Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when i stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. just about the time that i am going along pretty well, i glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. naturally, i have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. they watch to see what i am doing. as soon as i return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. within minutes this confusion of sounds stirs my aging st. bernard out of a deep sleep, and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted. mickey, my cat, can't stand to see any partiality so he is soon pacing back and forth across my ankles. as i wiggle my bare toes to tease mickey, i realize that my legs have become stiff. i remember that i have not had my daily ride. so, i slip on my sandals, step out the door, spring onto my bike and pedal off down the beach. meanwhile the composition in my typewriter sits and grows colder. does the last sentence refer to and support the topic sentence? yes no

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
