Sample Text for Level 2 Requirements:

My older sister, Carolina, is very special to me. She is married and lives in Quito with her husband, Lucio. They have two children, Patricio and Erin, who are in elementary school. Carolina is 35. She has brown hair and green eyes. She is very pretty and quite tall. She usually wears bright, colorful clothes that make her look really happy and fun.Carolina always gets up at 6:00 AM from Monday to Friday. First, she makes breakfast for her family. She can make the best banana pancakes, but she cant make sausages. Then she helps her children get dressed. Patricio and Erin can brush their teeth, wash their faces, and comb their hair, but they cant tie their shoes properly. After that, Lucio drives the children to school because they cant take the bus from their house. Carolina never drives because the traffic makes her nervous.Erin can play the piano, and she usually has a lesson on Thursday at 2:00 PM. Sometimes Patricio plays volleyball with his friends at recess. Lucio picks them up at 4:00, and Carolina and her family eat dinner at 6:00. Next, she helps Patricio and Erin with their homework. They can use the computer to look up answers, but they rarely need to do so. Finally, the children take a bath and go to bed.Whenever I need advice, I know I can call Carolina to talk about my problem. I cant think of anyone else that is as kind and smart as she is. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister.
