GUIDED WRITING

Sentence Combination

Reference version:

Gossip can be gracious and kindly and as often affected by good will as by rancour.

Try to imagine, for instance, a village where there is no gossip. Every citizen in it is, to use a

common expression, minding his own business, never caring to see what anyone else is doing. In such

a place, there would probably be no charities, no getting together, no luncheon clubs, no sewing bees,

no Rotary, no Parent- Teacher Associations, and in fact, no local news, for news is nothing but verified

gossip.

News is verified gossip and history is verified news- verified in the unlimited passage of time,

for

this

verification

may

take

a

few

hours

or

a

few

thousand

years.

Scholars

today

are

endlessly

checking the legendary accounts of the victories of Genghis Khan or seeking to reconcile conflicting

testimony as to the exact words of Jesus. For we know that a great deal of unverified gossip slips into

history's pages, to linger there for generations until the discovery of lost evidence brings us closer to

the truth.

2

It

is

inevitable

that

this

should

be

so.

Stories

which

are

passed

from

father

to

son

may

be

intentionally altered to suit the age or the taste of the listener, without intent to distort; or they may be

told with accuracy, but inaccurately heard, and still more inaccurately repeated.

injured.

hours

still

moaning.

went

begged

their

forgiveness.

As she was escorted by her husband into their living-room, the whole room rocked with cheers

and clapping. Waves of joy swept through the place. Her pupils, who were all there, leaped in the

air; her father jumped from his chair; and her mother threw her arms around her. When she knelt

at her grandmother's knees and took her by the hand, her grandmother broke down and burst into

tears.

Sally said. While Sally wiped the tears from her grandmother's cheeks, music and songs swirled

all around them.
