Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida, was recently named the best beach in the United States. I've been there many times, so I'll tell you what's so great about this beach. First, the sand beats the sand at any other beach hands down. And the water! The water is simply awesome. You won't find better-looking girls at any other beach in the country. Parking is a problem at Siesta Beach, but that's only because everybody wants to go there. By the way, don't forget the water. The water off Siesta Beach is, well, you'll just have to come see for yourself! Oh, and if you get hungry, there's a pavilion too. Read the paragraph about Siesta Key Beach. It is full of dull and imprecise language. Rewrite the paragraph to make the language more vivid and precise. You can do this by using words that appeal to the five senses and by removing inexact words like awesome and replacing them with words that express exactly what you want to say. If it's been a while since you've been to a beach, just use your imagination.

The best beach in the United States is the Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida. I have visited this beach on multiple occasions therefore I can tell you all about it! The sand is soft and fine, unlike any sand you've ever felt before! The water is the most remarkable feat at this beach! It is simply awe-inspiring and sparkling. There's even some eye candy like the most beatiful beach girls in the country! Parking is always quite occupied but only because it is the most enjoyable place to go to. Again, the water is clear and pristine but you should come and see for yourself! There is a pavilion where you can grab some delicious food to enjoy at the beach!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
