Practice 11: Adding Variety in a Paragraph

Revise the following paragraph in the space provided below. Try to vary the rhythm of the sentences
and change words that are often repeated.

The highlight of our trip was Victoria Falls. The locals call it “the smoke that thunders.” The first fall was great. The
rainbows were a highlight too. The length of the canyon was a great sight. The next highlight was a line of falls. The
falls stretched as far as we could see. There was a man fishing on the Zambian side of the falls. This was a great

site to see. I was concerned for the man’s welfare. He looked very close to the edge. There was a path that led

down the entire length of the canyon. There were a number of places I could stop to see the falls. The path had
several trails that led out to see the falls. Every time there was a path we went out the see the falls from there.

The canyon switched back toward the bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The water was all in the Zambezi
River at that point. I’m so glad we stopped to see this fantastic highlight.
