Nicknames

Many people only know nicknames of people. Someone's nickname might describe his or her likes, their size, or their talents. Or maybe just a shorter version of their long name. Do you have a nickname? If you do does it have special meaning? If you don't write about someone you know who does have. Or write about a nickname you would like to have.

example: My name is Debra Jean I have sometimes gone by the nickname DJ.I really liked DJ better then my name because the name Deb was so popular when I was in school and I liked to be different.

Pizza

Pizza
This is National Pizza Month. The first pizza place in the United States was in 1905 in New York City. I like thin and crispy with cheese, sausage, onions, and tomatoes. I think sometimes I could eat a whole pizza. Of course to drink I have my favorite soda, Diet Coke.



Answer these questions about pizza. When you can have pizza anyway you want it, what do you put on it? How much do you usually eat? What else do you like with it?
